This paper investigates a priority scheme for IEEE 802.11 Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol in order to provide short access times for priority frames (e.g. time-deadline traffic) even when the overall traffic on the wireless channel is heavy. Under the compatibility constraint for the IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, two priority systems are simulated: no priority (current IEEE 802.11 standard) for time-deadline traffics and dynamic time-deadline priority. We evaluate algorithms to improve the time-deadline traffic performance using discrete event simulation (DES)

Every MAC (Medium Access Control) sub-layers of IEEE 802.11x, including IEEE 802.11e, defines Connection-based and CF (Contention Free)-based service functions in common. In this paper, a New-CF method is proposed. In the proposed method, conventional Round Robin method, which is used as a polling method by IEEE 802.11x PCF (Point Coordination Function) or IEE 802.11e HCCA, is modified to give weights to channels with heavier traffic load and to provide those weighted channels with more services. Based on NS-2 simulations, it is verified the proposed method shows better throughput in general, particularly under unbalanced traffic load conditions.

This paper suggests the parameters of the requirement conditions of minimum performance for a RF transceiver system design from the specifications of IEEE Std 802.11b and IEEE Std 802.11a. It has yielded the requirement conditions of minimum performance in the design process due to these parameters. A RF transceiver system is simulated by using Agilent ADS(Advanced Design System) after selecting the components of optimal conditions to fabricate the RF transceiver system. The results of both the analysis and the simulation will be used for a real wireless LAN design.

In this paper, the selective use of RTS and CTS frames is considered to analyze the capacity of IEEE 802.11 WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). The RTS and CTS frames are used to transmit the data frames longer than dot11RTSThreshold according to IEEE 802.11 specification. The analysis of the optimal RTS-CTS threshold is derived to maximize the capacity of IEEE 802.11 WLAN. And, numerical examples are also presented for IEEE 802.11 a and b WLANs.

A basic access method using for IEEE 802.11a wireless LANs is the DCF method that is based on the CSMA/CA. But, Since IEEE 802.11 MAC layer uses original backoff algorithm (Exponential backoff method), when collision occurs, the size of contention windows increases the double size. Hence, packet transmission delay time increases and efficiency is decreased by original backoff scheme. In this paper, we have analyzed TCP packet transmission time of IEEE 802.11 MAC DCF protocol for wireless LANs using a proposed enhanced backoff algorithm. From the results, in OFDM/quadrature phase shift keying channel (QPSK), we can achieve that the transmission time in wireless channel decreases as the TCP packet size increases and based on the data collected, we can infer the correlation between TCP packet size and total message transmission time, allowing for an inference of the optimal packet size in the TCP layer.

Currently, IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) is rising as the most popular means for the broadband wireless access network. In this thesis, we propose a QoS(Quality of Service)-Oriented mechanism using handshaking method of scanning phase in IEEE 802.11 handoff. In conventional process for handoff, the major criterion to select the best AP(Access Point) among candidates is normally based on the RSS(Received Signal Strength), which does not always make the selected network guarantee the maximum achievable performance. Even though the link quality with a neighboring AP is excellent, the AP may not be a good candidate to handoff to simply because MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol of IEEE 802.11 standard is contention-based such as CSMA/CA. Therefore, if we apply network level information to AP selection criteria, we can achieve better handoff efficiency rather than before. The analysis and simulation results applied to our new mechanism show clearly better performance than AP selection based on traditional handoff method.

1997년에 IEEE 802.11 WG에서 1~2Mbps급의 전송속도를 가지는 근거리 무선 LAN에 대한 규격을 시작으로, 최근 100Mbps 이상 고속의 데이터 전송속도를 지원하는 규격에 이르기까지 무선 LAN에 대한 기술이 지속적으로 발전되고 있다. 최근 무선통신 분야에서는 다양한 멀티미디어 데이터를 고속으로 전송하는 응용서비스가 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 서비스를 지원할 수 있는 무선 QoS MAC 기술이 IEEE 802.11e에서 표준화되었다. 본 고에서는 무선 LAN 관련 국제 표준화기구인 IEEE 802.11 WG에서 진행되고 있는 표준화 내용 중에서 802.11e에서 표준화한 QoS MAC 기술을 중심으로 MAC 기술 및 관련 표준화 동향에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

Wireless LAN(Local Area Network) environment to support QoS in IEEE802.11 Working Group has standardized on the IEEE 802.11e. IEEE 802.11e EDCA channel access of the high priority traffic as by raising the probability of a chance to support QoS. This is a high priority traffic than low priority traffic, channel access is not necessarily the first. Therefore, as all traffic channels, if you have the same routing path, lower priority traffic on the performance of high priority traffic, sustainable impact. As a result, EDCA, such as voice or video to guarantee QoS for multimedia applications, follow the crowd. In this paper, to solve these problems by using Multi-Interface Multi-Path Routing Algorithm is proposed. Interface for each use in IEEE 802.11e EDCA Access Category much differently by each of the Routing Path for high priority traffic and guarantee QoS.

This paper focuses on a method to connect mobile devices such as mobile robot, Automated Guided Vehicle(AGV) to a fieldbus. In this paper, the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is used to extend a Profibus-DP network for the mobile devices. In order to integrate these two networks, a protocol converter is developed with two process(i.e., master process of Profibus-DP and virtual master process of IEEE 802.11) and an transmission buffer. Futhermore, a virtual polling algorithm is developed at the protocol conveter in order to satisfy real-time requirements on data communication.
