EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is often used as an authentication framework for two-party protocol which supports multiple authentication algorithms known as "EAP method". And PKMv2 in 802.16e networks use EAP as an authentication protocol. However, this framework is not efficient when the EAP peer executing handover. The reason is that the EAP peer and EAP server should re-run EAP method each time so that they authenticate each other for secure handover. This makes some delays, so faster re-authentication method is needed. In this paper, we propose a new design of the PKMv2 framework which provides fast re-authentication. This new framework and usage of the keys which used as a short-term credential bring better performance during handover process.

Power saving is one of the most important features that extends the lifetime of portable devices in mobile wireless networks. The IEEE 802.16e mobile broadband wireless access system adopts a power saving mechanism with a binary truncated exponent algorithm for determining sleep intervals. When using this standard power saving scheme, there is often a delay before data packets are received at the mobile subscriber station (MSS). In order to extend the lifetime of a MSS, the battery energy must be used efficiently. This paper presents a dynamically alternating sleep interval scheduling algorithm as a solution to deal with the power consumption problem. We take into account different traffic classes and schedule a proper sequence of power saving classes. The window size of the sleep interval is calculated dynamically according to the packet arrival rate. We make a tradeoff between the power consumption and packet delay. The method achieves the goal of efficiently reducing the listening window size, which leads to increased power saving. The performance of our proposed scheme is compared to that of the standard power saving scheme. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of our power saving scheme and its ability to strike the appropriate performance balance between power saving and packet delay for a MSS in an IEEE 802.16e mobile broadband wireless access system.

현재 국내 국책사업으로 추진 중인 와이브로(WiBro) 기술 규격이 포함되어 있는 휴대인터넷 표준 규격인 IEEE 802.16e는 IP기반으로, 이동성이 뛰어나고 고속전송 기능의 특징을 가지고 있다. 또한 기지국간의 핸드오버(Handover)를 지원함으로써 이동성을 지원한다. 그러나 이러한 핸드오버 기법에 있어서 Replay 공격, Man-in-the-Middle 공격, Stolen-Verifier 공격 등에 취약한 문제점이 드러나고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 기존 핸드오버 기법의 취약점을 개선하기 위해서 사용자의 인증서와 Timestamp값을 통한 IEEE 802.16e/와이브로 망에서 안전한 핸드오버 적용 방안에 대해 제안한다.

Recently, various types of wireless networks have been proliferated. Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 WLAN, 802.16e Mobile WiMAX (or Wibro) and 3G celluar networks are some examples. Accordingly, research on seamless mobility support mechanisms among homogeneous or heterogeneous networks has drawn significant interests. This paper examines recent research efforts on seamless mobility support mechanisms from link to transport layer. Yet, no single solution meets all the requirements for supporting the seamless mobility and it seems hard to tell which layer is the most appropriate one for supporting mobility. This area is still wide open and needs further research.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic bandwidth provisioning method based on traffic forecasting in IEEE 802.16e packet core network. The traffic is categorized as 4-different classes and the traffic amount of each class is forecasted by the Box-Jenkins method. To increase the service provider's revenue we provision the bandwidth of 4-different classes dynamically using greedy algorithm. The simulation results show that the number of packet drops is reduced and the level of QoS is improved compared with two different the methods - no priority considering and static provisioning.

Lawful Interception (LI) 이란 합법적인 형태의 도청을 말하며, 전통적인 Wired tapping 뿐만 아니라, 최근의 복잡해진 인터넷 및 통신환경의 여러 형태의 데이터들에 대한 감청이 포함 될 수 있다. 미국과 유럽 중심으로 개발 된 감청 표준들은 3 세대 통신망 위주의 감청을 위한 표준들이 대부분이며, 802.16e 기술중의 하나인 모바일 WiMax 를 위한 합법적 감청 표준 개발은 진행 중에 있는 실정이다. 특히, Wibro 와 같이 모바일 유닛(MU)이 Radio Access Contro (RAS)와 Access Control Router (ACR)를 자유롭게 이동하는 상황에서 패킷들에 대한 지속적인 추적은 합법적 감청 분야의 중요한 이슈 중의 하나이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 국내의 802.16e/WiBro 네트워크 사용자의 증가 및 그에 따른 보안위협 발생의 가능성 증가에 따라 합법적인 감청을 위한 효과적인 아키텍처를 제안하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 아키텍처는 802.16e/WiBro 망내의 합법적 감청을 위하여 네트워크상에서의 효과적인 감청 관련 정보 교환을 위한 기본적인 메커니즘을 포함하고 있다.

광대역 무선 액세스 기술에 대한 관심이 증폭되면서, IEEE 802.16 워킹그룹에서는 광대역 무선 도시권 통신망을 정의하였고, 802.16j 태스크그룹에서는 높은 전송 속도와 넓은 커버리지 제공을 위해서 802.16 시스템에 중계기를 도입하는 작업이 진행중이다. 차세대 네트워크 환경에서는 단말의 이동에도 지속적인 서비스를 제공해야 하므로 본 논문에서는 이동 단말과 기지국 간의 통신을 정의하는 802.16e의 핸드오버 절차를 확장하여 802.16j 네트워크에서 단말의 이동성을 제공하기 위한 방안을 정의하고자 한다.

In this paper, we develop radio resource management queueing model in IEEE 802.IS networks considering both connection and packet level. In the upper level connection, we model connection admission control depending on availability of bandwidth and priority queue in each service class. In the lower level packet, we model dynamic bandwidth allocation considering threshold and availability of bandwidth in each service class simultaneously. Hierarchical model is built using an extended Petri Nets, SRN (Stochastic Reward Nets). Bandwidth utilization and normal throughput as performance index for all service classes of traffic are calculated and numerical results are obtained.

Mobile broadband wireless network is emerging as one of the hottest research areas due to technical advances, and the demands of users who wish to enjoy the same network experience on the move. In this paper, we investigate the handover process at the medium access control (MAC) layer in an IEEE 802.16e-based system. In particular, we identify problems concerned with the scan initiation Process called cell reselection and propose a received signal strength (RSS) estimation scheme to dynamically trigger a scanning process. We show how the RSS estimation scheme can timely initiate a scanning process by anticipating RSS values considering scan duration required.
