It has been prevalent to be serviced through WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) as a variety of mobile devices have been introduced. If the number of mobile devices increases rapidly for the network access in a limited range of ESS(Extended Service Set), a lengthy connection delays are induced due to the initial link setup process of the IEEE 802.11i which is WLAN security standard. In this paper, we propose a new initial link setup protocol which can be executed in the ESS area of WLAN.

Recently, there is a drastic increase in users interested in real-time multimedia services in the WLAN environment, as the demand of IEEE 802.11 WLAN-based services increases. However, the handoff delay based on 802.11i security policy is not acceptable for the seamless real-time multimedia services provided to MS frequently moving in the WLAN environment, and there is a possibility of DoS attacks against session key derivation process and handoff mechanism. In this paper, a secure and efficient handoff mechanism in the centralized WLAN environment is introduced to solve the security problems. The 4-way Handshake for both mutual authentication and session key derivation is replaced by the 2-way Reassociation process.

Currently, Wireless LAN(WLAN) service is widely deployed to provide high speed wireless Internet access through the mobile stations such as notebook and PDA. To provide enhanced security and user access control in the public WLAN area, WLAN access points should have the capability of IEEE 802.1x-based user authentication and authorization functionality. In this paper, we provide a brief understanding of IEEE 802.1x standards and related protocols like EAPOL(Extended Authentication Protocol Over LAN), EAP, RADIUS and describe how the IEEE 802.1x is designed and implemented in our embedded linux-based WLAN AP which is named i-WiNG. (Intelligent Wireless Internet Gateway). For the network security and user authenti -cation purposes, a supplicant who wants to access Internet should be authorized to access the AP port using the EAPOL.

In this paper, the I/Q mismatch problem between the transmission line and antenna switch is solved by a new CPW matching circuit for a VoWLAN terminal with 54 Mbps communication speed through the IEEE 802.11 b/g CCK/OFDM. I/Q performances with the new matching circuit are analyzed and improved by the output spectrum mask, the characteristics of the EVM(Error Vector Magnitude) due to the nonlinear CCK/OFDM demodulation data, and receiver's sensitivity.

This article presents several methods of mobile communication network to access technologies utilizing unlicensed spectrum interworking. Generic Access Network (GAN) technology was already specified in GERAN (GSM EDGE Radio Access Network) and Interworking WLAN (I-WLAN) was standardized for WCDMA system for WLAN user to access WCDMA packet based services through WLAN access point. Voice Call Continuity is not access network dependent technology but is a kind of domain change scheme for voice call from Circuit Switching (CS) network to IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and vice versa.

Integration of mobile networks and Internet has started with 2.5 generation of mobile cellular networks. Internet traffic is today dominant traffic type worldwide. The hanger for higher data rates needed for data traffic and new IP based services is essential in the development of future wireless networks. In such situation, even 3G with up to 2 Mbit/s has not provided data rates that are used by Internet users with fixed broadband dial-up or through wired local area networks. The solution to provide higher bit rates in wireless access network has been found in wireless LAN although initially it has been developed to extend wired LAN into wireless domain. In this paper, we propose and describe a solution created for interoperability between mobile cellular network and WLAN. The integration between two networks, cellular and WLAN, is performed on the authentication, authorization, and accounting, i.e., AAA side. For that purpose we developed WLAN access controller and WLAN AAA gateway, which provide gateway-type access control as well as charging and billing functionalities for the WLAN service. In the development process of these elements, we have considered current development stadium of all needed network entities and protocols. The provided solution provides cost-effective and easy-to-deploy PLMN-WLAN Internetworking scenario.

최근 들어 IEEE 802.11 WLAN 서비스에 대한 수요의 증가와 함께 WLAN 환경에서 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스를 이용하려는 사용자의 관심이 날로 증가하고 있다. 그러나 IEEE 802.11i 의 보안 정책은 MS 의 이동이 빈번하게 발생하는 WLAN 환경에서 끊김 없는 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기에는 핸드오프 지연 시간이 너무 길다. 본 논문은 DoS 공격에 취약한 기존 802.11i 에서의 4-way Handshake 를 대체하는 신속하고 효율적인 인증 및 세션키 분배 메커니즘을 제안한다.

최근 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 위해 서로 이종의 통신망들을 통합하려는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 한분야로 WLAN과 MANET 연동에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이는 기반구조를 이용하여 상대적으로 고속 서비스와 넓은 통화권역을 보장하며 기반구조 없이 신속한 네트워크의 형성이 가능한 장점을 결합하기 위한 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 WAN과 MANET을 연동하기 위한 아키텍처에 대하여 고찰한다. 이를 위하여 기존 연동 방안에 대한 조사와 강약점을 분석하고 이들의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 아키텍처, 연동절차 및 프로토콜 스택에 대하여 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 아키텍처는 이후 성능 분석을 통하여 실용화 단계로 발전이 요구된다.
