In this paper, 2-stage power amplifier has been designed for 5.8GHz wireless LAN application. The power amplifier PldB output power has 21.6dBm at 5.8GHz frequency. Also the power amplifier shows 17.6dB gain and -17.8dB input return loss at 5.725GHz to 5.825GHz. The OFDM modulation and transmission block have been modeled in order to analyse the relationship between the power amplifier distortion and output ACPR for the IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN. The nonlinear characteristic of the power amplifier has been modeled as AM-to-AM and AM-to-PM using the behavioral model, and the output spectrum is analysed with the phase distortion variation. Also, amplifier back-off value from PldB to satisfy the required IEEE 802.11a standard spectrum mask has been simulated with phase distortion, and the simulation data have been compared to the measurement result collected by using the pre-distortion technique.

In the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN environment, the common Access Point (AP) selection of the existing terminal is based on signal strength. However, the signal strength-based AP selection method does not ensure an optimal data rate. Recently, several AP selection methods to solve this problem have been suggested. However, when we select AP, these have a latency problem and don't consider dense environments of AP. In this paper, we confirm the problem of the conventional AP selection about the signal strength and the throughput through the actual measurement, and propose algorithm that selects AP by scoring link speed and wireless round trip time to compensate the problem. Furthermore, the proposed AP selection algorithm through the actual experiment proves the improved performance as compared with the existing methods.

In this paper, we propose an efficient bit loading algorithm for IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN systems. While a conventional bit loading algorithm uses the SNR value of each subcarrier, it is very difficult to estimate the exact SNR value in wireless LAN systems due to randomness of AWGN. Therefore, in order to solve this problem our proposed algorithm uses the channel frequency response instead of the SNR of each subcarrier. Through simulation results, we can obtain the performance gain of 3.5∼8㏈ at PER of 10-2 with the proposed bit loading algorithm while the conventional one obtains the performance gain of 0.5∼5㏈ at the same conditions. Also, the increased data rate can be confirmed 63Mbps. After the logic synthesis using 0.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology, the logic gate count for the processor with proposed algorithm can be reduced by 34% in comparison with the conventional one.

In this paper, we have analyzed that interference effect between wireless LAN(IEEE 802.11 a) and radar system in 5㎓ band. Recently, Korea frequency Authority is considering the frequency allocation of wireless LAN system about 5㎓ band that is previously used in radar system. The co­existence occurs interference problem between wireless LAN and radar system, so it is required to analyze the effect of co­channel interference. Accordingly, the frequency allocation could be predicted for wireless LAN system in 5㎓ band and the interference effect has been analyzed by simulation with the radar signal modeling. Simulation results which are presented by PER and EVM show that high SIR(20 ㏈) is required to achieve the target PER about 10­1.

This paper presents the implementation of IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control and Physical Layer Protocol that can be applied to wireless LAN system. We have used PRISM2 chipsets from Intersil to build the baseband, IF, and RF parts. DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) physical layer at 2.4GHz ISM band is adopted in the hardware prototype. To meet the high-speed requirement of physical layer, we have designed the MAC protocol layer with embedded firmware and FPGA. The prototype board is shown to be able to support the physical layer of 5GHz and 600Hz wireless LAN systems.

This paper describes a LDPC decoder for IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN standard. The designed processor supports parity check matrix for block length of 1,944 and code rate of 1/2 in IEEE 802.11n standard. To reduce hardware complexity, the min-sum algorithm and layered decoding architecture are adopted. A novel memory reduction technique suitable for min-sum algorithm was devised, and our design reduces memory size to 25% of conventional method. The LDPC decoder processor synthesized with a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library has 200,400 gates and memory of 19,400 bits, and the estimated throughput is about 135 Mbps at 80 MHz@2.5v. The designed processor is verified by FPGA implementation and BER evaluation to validate the usefulness as a LDPC decoder.

The previous works for WLAN system based on OFDM is mainly individual study for independent frequency offset or symbol synchronization. In this paper, the performance of IEEE 802.11a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) system in the realistic indoor multipath channel models is analyzed with frequency offset compensation and channel estimation methods. For the performance analysis of the WLAN system indoor Rayleigh multipath channels are adopted, and the BER(Bit Error Rate) of WLAN system is calculated with y2 code-rate 16-QAM based on standard specification. From the simulation results, the difference of required Eb/No for BER of 10-3 is 1-2dB between the channel estimation and frequency offset compensation, and perfect channel estimation and no frequency offset.

무선으로 근거리 디바이스들을 연결하는 무선 랜에서는 CSMA/CA를 기반으로 하는 IEEE 802.11이 대표적인 프로토콜로 사용되고 있다. IEEE 802.11 무선망에서 지연에 민감한 실시간 멀티미디어 응용 서비스들의 요구가 증가함에 따라 MAC 계층에서의 지연시간에 대한 연구는 중요하다. IEEE 802.11 무선랜의 기본적인 액세스 방법으로 사용하는 DCF는 경쟁 스테이션이 적은 상황에서는 비교적 우수한 성능을 보이나 경쟁 스테이션의 수가 많은 경우 처리율, 패킷지연 관점에서 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11 무선 랜 환경에서 전송에 성공한 패킷의 평균지연시간과 전송에 실패하여 패킷이 폐기되기까지의 평균시간에 대해 제안된 방식들의 성능을 분석하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 입증한다.
