In this paper, hardware circuit that performs functions of IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN frequency hopping PLCP protocol is designed using 0.8 um CMOS cmn8a technology of the COMPASS. Transmission rate of the designed hardware is 1Mbps. The designed circuit have about 6300 gates and $2.5{\times}2.5mm^2$ area. In order to verify the circuit, two PLCP circuits are interconnected and frames are transmitted from one PLCP circuit to the other PLCP circuit. As a results of the simulation, we conclude that the designed PLCP circuit works well as the IEEE 802.11 standard specification.

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.

Wi-Fi is a rapidly spreading communications network with Smart phone's publication, the technology has become Ubiquitous-based core network which is connected to personal computers, laptops, and tablet PC. Wi-Fi can send currently a variety of data standard due to developed wireless LAN communications network. One of Wi-Fi standard protocols, which is IEEE 802.11n, use 2.4GHz and 5GHz band. 2.4GHz band is used for 802.11b/g protocol because wavelength is long, diffraction and receiving distance is enough to connect other device. 5GHz band has more available channels to use than 2.4GHz band, so there is no frequency interference of other wireless device such as Bluetooth, RFID. Moreover, there is low interference between channels due to small users in each bandwidth level. In the thesis, we are going to analyze 802.11a/b/g protocol which has used since the beginning of Wi-Fi protocol and 802.11n protocol which is used lately. Furthermore, we look into development and direction for standardization of the next generation wireless LANs which are 802.11ac and 802.11ad. In addition, we will consider for the security, vulnerabilities and its countermeasure in Wireless LAN.

This paper explores the throughput performance of CSMA/CA-based DCF protocol over frequency-selective, slow Ricean fading channels with both the $E_{b}/N_{o}$ and BER at the MAC layer in the 802.1 la wireless LAN. By exploring the throughput of DCF protocol with the data rate of 6Mbps, 12 Mbps, 24 Mbps and 54 Mbps, we find the fact that the higher the $E_{b}/N_{o}$ be and the less the BER be, the higher the throughput be.

Recently the application area of wireless LAN has been increased, rapidly. The application area was limited in indoor, but as the data throughput and performance of wireless LAN becomes better the application is to extend to the Internet connection and wireless bridge in outdoor. In this paper, the data throughput of wireless LAN in mobile environment is measured, and the usability of wireless LAN for ITS, Telematics, and LBS is confirmed.

IEEE 802.11 Point Coordination Function (PCF) mode is defined to support time bounded traffic, such as voice in wireless LANs. The poll scheduling plays an important role in IEEE 802.11 PCF mode operation. This paper proposed a Multicast Polling Scheme (MPC) to increase the performance of wireless LANs. Moreover, we proposed a polling schedule scheme for our proposed multi-poll to serve real-time traffic. The results show that the proposed mechanism is more efficient than the original IEEE 802.11 PCF.

The increasing number of wireless subscribers who can use internet service any time and any place have caused wireless communications networks to flourish. However, since total communication channel bandwidth for wireless communications is limited, it is very important to find the solution for maximizing the channel utilization. Thus, in this work we propose a QoS packet scheduler for IEEE 802.11e EDCA scheme which is able to maximize the channel throughput with changing the CW value considering wireless channel condition. This proposed scheme is evaluated with NS-2 network simulator under various environments and it is easily shown from the numerical results that the proposed scheme provides better performance than that of the original IEEE 802.11e scheme.

The IEEE 802.11 protocol is the most mature technology for WLANs(Wireless Local Area Networks). However, as the number of stations increases, the delay and throughput performance of IEEE 802.11 MAC(Medium Access Control) degrades severely. In this paper, we present the comprehensive performance analysis of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol by investigating the MAC layer packet service time when arrival packet sizes have a general probability distribution. We obtain the discrete probability distribution of the MAC layer service time. By using this, we analyze the system throughput and the MAC layer packet service time of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in wireless LAN environment. We take some numerical examples for the system throughput and the mean packet service time for several special distributions of arrival packet sizes.
