This paper describes a multi-mode LDPC decoder which supports three block lengths(648, 1296, 1944) and four code rates(1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6) of IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard. To minimize hardware complexity, it adopts a block-serial (partially parallel) architecture based on the layered decoding scheme. A novel memory reduction technique devised using the min-sum decoding algorithm reduces the size of check-node memory by 47% as compared to conventional method. The designed LDPC decoder is verified by FPGA implementation, and synthesized with a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library. It has 219,100 gates and 45,036 bits RAM, and the estimated throughput is about 164~212 Mbps at 50 MHz@2.5v.

IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol standard, DCF(CSMA/CA), is originally designed to ensure the fair channel access between mobile nodes sharing the local wireless channel. It has been, however, revealed that some misbehavior nodes transmit more data than other nodes through artificial means in hot spot area spreaded rapidly. The misbehavior nodes may modify the internal process of their MAC protocol or interrupt the MAC procedure of normal nodes to achieve more data transmission. This problem has been referred to as a selfish node problem and almost literatures has proposed methods of analyzing the MAC procedures of all mobile nodes to detect the selfish nodes. However, these kinds of protocol analysis methods is not effective at detecting all kinds of selfish nodes enough. This paper address this problem of detecting selfish node using Tsallis-Entropy which is a kind of statistical method. Tsallis-Entropy is a criteria which can show how much is the density or deviation of a probability distribution. The proposed algorithm which operates at a AP node of wireless LAN extracts the probability distribution of data interval time for each node, then compares the one with a threshold value to detect the selfish nodes. To evaluate the performance of proposed algorithm, simulation experiments are performed in various wireless LAN environments (congestion level, how selfish node behaviors, threshold level) using ns2. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves higher successful detection rate.

WLAN의 매체 특성상 AP beacon영역 내의 모든 STA들은 다른 STA의 송수신 데이터 내용에 접근할 수 있다. 따라서 상호 또는 그룹 간의 데이터프라이버시와 상호인증 서비스는 무선 랜의 중요한 이슈중의 하나이다. 무선랜을 통한 네트워크 접속 보안으로는 사용자와 AP 사이의 무선 접속구간 보안과 AP와 AS사이의 유선 구간 보안으로 정의되며, 상대적으로 취약한 무선 구간 보안이 초점이 된다. 현재 무선 구간 보안에는 WEP이 사용된다. 그러나 WEP 방식은 WEP 키와 IV 크기가 작고, 노출된 공유키를 사용하며, 암호 알고리즘(RC4)와 무결성 알고리즘(CRC-32)이 근본적으로 취약하다. 이러한 문제에 대한 해결 방법으로 IEEE 802.11i는 두 가지 접근 방식을 채택하였다. 하나는 WEP의 보안 문제점을 소프트웨어적으로 개선한 TKIP이고 다른 하나는 기존의 WEP과는 하드웨어적으로 상이한 AES을 기반으로 한 CCMP이다. 이 논문에서는 각 알고리즘에 대한 키의 흐름 및 그 안전성을 분석하였다. 이러한 방법을 통해 WEP 구조의 보안상의 취약점을 확인하고, TKIP이 WEP을 대체할 수 있을 만큼의 안전성을 갖는지를 검증한다. 또한 고려될 수 있는 공격 모델을 제시하고, 이에 대하여 알고리즘에 부가적으로 요구되는 보완점에 대해 논한다.

In this paper a novel access scheme for uplink multiuser transmission based on IEEE 802.11ax random access in in-aircraft wireless sensor networks is proposed. The proposed scheme provides an efficient access control mechanism with three divisions of OFDMA backoff counter (OBO): access, deferring, dropping, which controls the number of potential uplink transmission stations. The proposed scheme can be used efficiently in in-aircraft wireless sensor network where a large number of sensors need to be supported. By using the proposed scheme, since in-aircraft sensors attempt channel access using the proposed differentiated OBO parameters, the number of stations exceeds the access capacity can be efficiently controlled. This paper also provides the mathematical analysis of the proposed scheme, regarding the optimal parameters. According to the performance analysis, the proposed scheme is able to efficiently control the access behavior of wireless sensors in the network.

On Handoff, existing AP search has chosen one of various APs according to signal strength. However IEEE 802.11 uses Medium Access method with CSMA/CA(Carrier Sensing Multiple Access /Collision Avoidance) that competes to obtain a channel by sharing common medium. For that reason, network performance is heavily affected by the number of nodes and network congestion aside from signal strength. Consequently, in this paper we propose the method that choose one AP which ensures more improved network performance and set up a link, reflecting AP network information in Handoff area, on Handoff in the process of AP selection. We also demonstrate through simulation that it gets maximum performance even in the wireless network which many users concurrently access to, and it has considerable effects on aspects of resources and network management by distribution of users.

In this paper, we propose mobile ad hoc network configuration and its autonomous network construction method for efficiency and scalability of media streaming for mobile smart devices. To provide scalable network configuration for streaming traffic distribution, an IEEE 802.11 infrastructure network and ad hoc networks are hierarchically built. The proposed method autonomously configures a hierarchical streaming network by competition based on performance and states of devices and the wireless network, not depending on any specific nodes. Finally, we conduct performance measurement for the proposed configuration and analyze the experimental result.

본 논문에서는 관찰된 채널의 유휴 시간을 이용하여, ACK(Acknowledgement) 기반의 링크 적응 기술의 단점을 극복하는 새로운 알고리즘인 COLA 를 제안한다. COLA 는 광범위한 채널과 부하 상황에서 최적의 성능을 얻으며 RTS/CTS 메커니즘이나 하드웨어를 이용한 채널 SNR 측정과 같은 추가적인 옵션 혹은 별도의 프로토콜 메커니즘의 지원이 필요하지 않다. 또한 COLA 알고리즘은 단지 짧은 10 개의 critical 한 명령어를 사용함으로써 부하를 줄이며, 실제 동작 시 수반되는 heuristic 한 매개변수로부터 자유롭고, 따라서 실제 사용 시 장점을 가진다.

5GHz를 사용하고 최소6Mbps에서 최대 54Mbps까지 지원하는 IEEE 802.11a 무선 랜 에서는 데이터의 전송중에 발생하는 랜덤오류 및 연집오류의 정정을 위해서 길쌈부호기와 인터리버를 규정하고 있다. 길쌈부호기에서 다양하고 높은 데이터 전송율을 확보하기 위해서 변조방식과 전송율에 따라 높은 부호율을 얻기 위해 여러 개의 펑쳐링 기법을 사용해서 2/3와 3/4과 같은 높은 부호율이 얻어지도록 하고 있다. 펑쳐링을 거친 데이터는 Coding rate만큼의 비율로 데이터가 많아지고 이 데이터를 처리하기 위해서 가변클럭을 사용해야 한다. 가변클럭의 사용은 동기화 및 back-end 작업 시 여러 가지 문제를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서 펑쳐링의 출력 비트를 바꾸고 인터리버에서 사용되는 메모리를 8x1의 메모리로 세분화 함으로써 Code rate에 상관없이 하나의 클럭으로 데이터의 병목현상을 처리 할 수 있다.

In this paper we design MIMO antenna with high isolation between antennas by using an isolation aid for WLAN. Two dual-band PIFAs which operates IEEE 802.11n are arranged symmetrically along the central axis of antenna frame and ground plane. By inserting an isolation aid between two PIFAs the isolation is improved maximum 5dB and 7dB for 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band respectively. Total efficiency is above 60%. ECC is below 0.1.

A Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment (WAVE) system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is made for vehicle to vehicle wireless communications. The physical layer standard of the WAVE system is very similar to that of the IEEE802.11a wireless local area network (WLAN). Therefore, the performance of the WAVE system is degraded by continual channel variation in the WAVE multipath fading channels after starting initial channel estimation. In this paper, we research the performance improvement of equalization in 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) transmission in WAVE environment. The proposed algorithms use the training sequence and the midamble sequence which is used for fast channel variation such as WAVE environments. Additionally, various interpolation methods are also used for the channel tracking.
