In this paper, we propose the energy efficient transmission parameter selection method for Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) system which is applied to e-Navigation system considering various ship models environment. An appropriate selection of transmission parameters of HR-WPAN system is very essential to be considered for saving WPAN devices' energy consumption, when HR-WPAN system is applied to ship area network (SAN). Therefore, we propose an energy consumption model for a ship area network employing IEEE 802.15.3 based CSMA/CA HR-WPAN model and analyze the effect of transmission parameter selection on the performance of energy consumption. In particular, the path loss is the major performance decision parameter for the SAN employing HR-WPAN system, since it varies according to the material of shipbuilding such as steel(for large ship), FRP(for medium size ship) and compound wood(for small ship). Thus, we analyze and demonstrate that the proper transmission parameter selection of transmit power, PHY data rate and fragment size for each ship model could guarantee energy efficiency.

The proposed LDS(Link-status Dependent Scheduling) algorithm in HR-WPAN(High Rate-Wireless Personal Area Network) up to now aims at doing only throughput elevation of the whole network, when the crucial device is connected with worst-link relatively, throughput of this device becomes aggravation. The proposed the WGS(Worst-case Guaranteed Scheduling) algorithm in this paper guarantees throughput of the device which is connected with worst-link in a certain degree as maintaining throughput of all devices identically even if a link-status changes, decreases delay of the whole network more than current LDS algorithm. Therefore proposed WGS algorithm in this paper will be useful in case of guaranteeing throughput of a device which is connected worst-link in a certain degree in a design of HR-WPAN hereafter.

HR-WPAN(802.15.3)의 CTAP에는 Time Slot(CTA) 할당 스케줄링 기법이 적용되어 있지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 CTAP의 채널 할당 방식에 유선망의 패킷 스케줄링방법인 WFQ(Weighted Fair Queuing)를 적용하고자 한다. 현재 표준에서 TDMA를 적용하기 위한 명확한 스케줄링 기법이 없으며, 대량의 트래픽으로 인해 소량의 트래픽이 기아현상을 겪을 수 있는 공정성(Fairness)의 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 각각의 DEV들에 가중치를 적용하여 공정한 방법으로 채널을 할당 받고자 한다. 이를 통해 HR-WPAN의 채널 할당방식에 있어서의 공정성 문제를 해결하고 delay bound를 제공하는 time slot 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 Weighted Fairness를 적용한 분산적 스케줄링 방법에 대한 연구를 통해 HR-WPAN에서의 성능 향상을 이루고자 한다.

This paper proposes the optimal transmission parameter selection method for an energy efficient Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) system which is applicable to the Maritime Telematics targeting for various ship models. Since the transmission parameter selection is an important factor for WPAN system to decide its energy efficiency, we propose an energy consumption model for ship area network (SAN) employing IEEE 802.15.3 based TDMA HR-WPAN model and analyzes the effect of transmission parameter selection on the performance of energy consumption. In particular, the main performance decision parameter of the SAN applying HR-WPAN is path loss, since it is very varied according to the material of shipbuilding such as steel (large ship), FRP (medium size ship) and compound wood (small ship). Thus, we analyzed and demonstrated that the proper transmission parameter selection among transmit power, PHY data rate and fragment size for each ship model guarantee the energy efficiency.

HR-WPAN은 디바이스들과 망을 중재하는 역할을 하는 PNC가 피코넷을 형성함으로써 통신을 하게된다. PNC는 디바이스들 중에서 선발이 되며 PNC가 피코넷을 이탈하거나 더 능력이 우수한 디바이스가 피코넷에 참여할 때 PNC 핸드오버 과정을 통하여 신규 PNC로 역할이 이양된다. WPAN 권고안에서는 현재 피코넷의 운영상태를 고려하지 않고 디바이스들의 능력에만 기초하여 핸드오버를 수행한다. 신규 PNC는 기존의 PNC가 관리하던 디바이스들을 최대한 수용하여야 피코넷에 끼치는 효과를 최소화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 자식 피코넷을 고려하여 PNC 선택방법을 제안하여 기존의 PNC가 관리하던 디바이스들을 최대한 수용할 수 있게 하였다.

IEEE 802.15.3 HR-WPAN is designed to enable wireless connectivity of high-speed, low-power, low-cost multimedia-capable portable consumer electronic devices. For quality of service, the standard specifies the use of TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). However, during low contention TDMA gives much lower channel utilization and higher delays than CSMA (Carrier Sensing Multiple Access) because in TDMA, a node can transmit only during its scheduled time slots whereas in CSMA, nodes can transmit at any time as long as there is no contention. By mixing CSMA and TDMA, Hybrid MAC becomes more robust to timing failures, time-varying channel conditions, slot assignment failures and topology changes than a stand-alone TDMA.

For IEEE 802.15.3 HR-WPAN, we propose the DABL algorithm that PNC can allocate the channel times to the DEV in super frame in order that system frame throughput is increased and the delay is decreased. In detail, the DABL algorithm allows to dynamically allocate channel time as well as to adaptively apply the modulation and coding scheme based on the link quality of the DEV. In addition, due to the facts that QoS is quite different depending on service types, we provide the DABL algorithm taking into account RT(Real Time) traffic and Non-RT traffic respectively. Finally, we show simulation results of the DABL algorithm compared to the conventional algorithm that the PNC equally allocates channel times to the DEV regardless of the link quality of the DEV.

High-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (HR-WPANs) in IEEE 802.15.3 standard use a TIme Devision Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol to support isochronous traffic. Isochronous traffic requires a delay-bounded service. However, the HR-WPAN standard suffers from long access delay and association delay. In this paper, we propose an enhanced MAC protocol for the delay-bounded traffic. This proposed protocol provides a way that a central node is able to collect traffic status on all member nodes. Furthermore, by utilizing the information, a scheduling algorithm is also proposed in order to synchronize the instant of a packet transmission with that of the packet arrival. With the proposed protocol and algorithm, the delay of access and association can be reduced. Performance analysis is carried out and the significant performance enhancement is observed.
