IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN technology is essential for wireless internet, next generation converged network and home network. But, it is certain that user's privacy must be provided to expand the applicable area in IEEE 802.11 WLAN. Recently, WEP and 802.11i security scheme can be used in MAC Layer. But with VPN technology which is applied to WLAN user, it means that suity mechanism is used redundantly. One bit authentication mechanism was already proposed to solve this redundancy. In this paper, we analyze problems of 1-bit Authentication mechanism which are failure of synchronization and waste of packet. And we propose new algorithm which synchronizes sender with receiver, at once, using duplicated-packet-count information. We show that our algorithm improves success probability of packet authentication up to $98\%$ and efficiency of authentication bit stream up to $97\%$.

The IEEE 802.1x standard provides an architectural framework which can be used various authentication methods. But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS(Denial of Service), the session hijacking and the MiM(Man in the Middle) attack due to caused by structural of authentication protocol. In this paper, we propose a WLAN system which can offer safety communication by complement of IEEE 802.1x vulnerabilities. The WLAN system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication servers, clients and the AP using PKI and prevents an illegal user from intervening in communication to disguise oneself as a client, the AP or authentication servers. Also, we guarantee the safety of the communication by the Dynamic WEP key distribution between clients and the AP.

지역별로 존재하는 유휴 TV 방송채널을 이용한 비면허 방식 무선접속 서비스의 도입이 미국을 중심으로 구체화되어가고 있다. 고정형 및 휴대/개인형 단말을 이용한 서비스를 도입하는 미국 FCC의 최종 결정이 2009년 2월 공시된 후, IEEE802.22 WRAN WG이 추가로 휴대/개인형 서비스를 표준제정을 추진 중이고, 이와 별도로 IEEE802.11 무선랜 WG에서는 기존 무선랜 표준을 TV대역까지 확장한 방식의 표준화를 추진하고 있다. 본 고 에서는 TV대역을 활용한 서비스 도입에 필수적인 기존사용자 보호 방안에 대하여, FCC의 최종결정에 포함된 스펙트럼 센싱 및 Geolocation과 결합한 DB이용 방안을 중심으로, 기술적인 이슈들에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

Recently, there is an increase in demand of real-time multimedia service in the WLAN environment, with a commercialization of IEEE 802.11n standard. However, the 802.1x authentication protocol is too slow to provide seamless real-time multimedia service, which defined in an IEEE 802.11i security standard. In this paper, a Ticket-based authentication mechanism in the CAPWAP(Control And Provisioning Wireless Access Point) architecture is introduced to support for the fast handoff.

When the PCF (Point Coordinated Function) MAC protocol is combined with the frame aggregation method to enhance the MAC performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, the formulae for the optimal frame aggregation level for best PCF MAC performance were derived in our previous study. We extend the formulae for the PCF protocol to derive the optimal frame aggregation level for the connectivity-based multipolling MAC protocol in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. By simulations, we compare the performances of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs with the optimal and random frame aggregation levels. Compared with the random frame aggregation level, the optimal frame aggregation level significantly improves the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.

In a contention-based wireless LAN protocol, maximization of channel utilization and fair bandwidth allocations are main topics to deal with. But it is very difficult to achieve these two goals simultaneously. Many studies have been done to achieve these goals. In this paper we propose a control mechanism to support fair transmissions among traffic classes in IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN. The proposed algorithm uses short-term and long-term transmission times of each traffic classes to control their $CW_{min}$ for fairness. The proposed algorithm don't need to know the exact number of nodes in the networks to support fairness as other studies do. Furthermore any modifications in AP and mobile hosts are not required.

최근 IEEE 802.11n 표준의 상용화와 함께 무선랜 환경에서 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스를 이용하려는 수요가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 IEEE 802.11i 보안표준에서 정의한 IEEE 802.1x 인증과정은 끊김 없는 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기에는 핸드오프 지연시간이 너무 길다. 본 논문은 Ticket이라는 새로운 인증 기법을 도입하여 고속의 로밍을 지원하는 핸드오프 메커니즘을 소개한다.

IEEE 802.11b의 사용자 인증 취약성을 보완한 프레임워크인 IEEE 802.1x는 EAP를 통해 다양한 사용자 인증 메커니즘을 지원한다. 그러나 IEEE 802.1x 역시 인증 프로토콜의 구조적 원인에 의한 서비스 거부 공격과 AP에 대한 인증 및 암호 메커니즘의 부재로 세션 하이재킹 및 중간자 공격 등에 취약하다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.1x 프레임워크의 서비스 거부, 세션 하이재킹 및 중간자 공격에 대한 취약성을 보완하여 강화된 사용자 인증 및 안전한 암호통신 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 무선랜 보안시스템을 제안한다.

As the number of a smart phone user over the world surprisingly grows and a wireless Internet market expands, service requirement of a mobile terminal is increasing. However, because there is no consideration of mobility in the early standard step, it is difficult to expect to improve the service performance in handover procedure. This paper proposes a PFMIPv6 handover scheme by using probe request message and authentication message and by using buffering scheme in IEEE 802.11. In addition, we simulated this proposal scheme and verified that the proposed handover scheme is improved in terms of handover delay, and average FTP throughput during the handover period.
