Wireless sensor nodes are widely used for various applications such as environmental monitoring. In this paper, the RSSI and PER are measured for the indoor environment with the various interferences such as obstacles(concrete walls, steel doors) and the 2.4GHz wireless LAN interference. Also, the RSSI and PER are measured for the outdoor environments. From the measured values of the RSSI and PER, the guideline for the stable operation of the wireless sensor network is suggested.

This paper presents the architecture and design of a DSSS MODEM ASIC chip for wireless local area networks (WLAN). The implemented MODEM chip supports the DSSS physical layer specifications of the IEEE 802.11. The chip consits of a transmitter and a receiver which contain a CRC encoder/decoder, a differential encoder/decoder, a frequency offset compensator and a timing recovery circuit. The chip supports various data rates, i.e., 4,2 and 1Mbps and provides both DBPSK and DQPSK for data modulation. We have performed logic synthesis using the $SAMSUNG^{TM}$ $0.6{\mu}m$ gate array library and the implemented chip consists of 53,355 gates. The MODEM chip operates at 44MHz, the package type is 100-pin QFP and the power consumption is 1.2watt at 44MHz. The implemented MODEM architecture shows lower BER compared with the Harris HSP3824.

Proposed CCRSVP (Candidate Casting RSVP) algorithm is a new fast handoff method which uses advanced multicasting method and RSVP for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN) environments. The proposed algorithm shows good performance in the handoff latency and the B/W efficiency aspect and guarantees QoS because it uses L2 information (BSSID) of WLAN and starts to reserve resources and multicast packets before L2 handoff completes. We also propose a Markov chain performance analysis model in which we can analyze the handoff performance of various handoff algorithms. Using the model, we compare bandwidth efficiency of the proposed algorithm with existing handoff algorithms which use RSVP by analyzing blocking probability of session, resource usage, and the average number of ongoing session in a cell. The results show that the proposed algorithm shows better performance than the existing algorithms in the above three performance aspects.

When Handoff occurs at wireless network, existing AP search chooses one of various APs according to signal strength information. However, IEEE 802.11 uses Medium Access method with CSMA/CA that competes to obtain a channel by sharing medium. Therefore, network performance is heavily affected by the number of nodes and network congestion aside from signal strength. This scheme presented an additional AP selection indicator and a new handoff algorithm to realize handoff guaranteeing the network performance of mobile node in a process selecting new AP. This indicator is includes a handoff cost function reflecting the network information of mobile node, and the mobile node made handoff guaranteeing the network performance using network information possible by using this. also we classified the nodes into high-speed node and low-speed node. Then, when Handoff occurs, high-speed node was made itself choose AP by signal strength information. We also made the low-speed node choose its AP by using AP network information which is applied area. Hence, we demonstrate through simulation that gets an improvement in 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.

Today's IEEE 802.11 WLANs(Wireless LANs) provide multiple transmission rates so that different rates can be exploited in an adaptive manner depending on the underlying channel condition in order to maximize the system performance. Many rate adaptation schemes have been proposed so far while most(if not all) of the commercial devices implement a simple open-loop rate adaptation scheme(i.e., without feedback from the receiver), called ARF(Automatic Rate Fallback) due to its simplicity. A key problem with such open-loop rate adaptation schemes is that they do not consider the collision effect, and hence, malfunction severely when many transmission failures are due to collisions. In this paper, we propose a novel rate-adaptation scheme, called CARA(Collision-Aware Rate Adaptation). The key idea of CARA is that the transmitter station combines adaptively the Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send(RTS/CTS) exchange with the Clear Channel Assessment(CCA) functionality to differentiate frame collisions from frame transmission failures cause by channel errors. Therefore, compared with other open-loop rate adaptation schemes, CATA is more likely to make the correct rate adaptation decisions. Through extensive simulation runs, we evaluate our proposed scheme to show that our scheme yields significantly higher throughput performance than the existing schemes in both static and time-varying fading channel environments.

We have designed and implemented a Voice Messenger System(VMS) for sending and receiving voice data in order to measure and analyze the performance of a multimedia data transfer system using PDAs(Personal Digital Assistants) in a fast wireless LAN environment. The VMS has been configured as an infrastructure network by integrating a wireless intra-network based on IEEE 802,11 b standard with a wired network based on Ethernet. A sending time, a receiving time and a round-trip time(RTT) have been measured by varying its pecket size from 256 to 6656 bytes, Besides, we have performed the experiments to see which NIC is more stable between CF and PCMCIA type in such a wireless LAN environment, The results of such experiments show that the NIC with PCMClA type is better than that with CF type from the points of both efficiency and stability. The performance of a notebook computer with the attachment of a wireless NIC that is used as a VMS client is almost constant by varying its packet size when transferring voice data. However, with PDA client, in the case of receiving packets from the VMS server, the performance is the best when the pecket size is 6656 bytes, In addition, in the case of sending packets from PDA client to the VMS server, the performance is the best when the packet size is 4096 bytes. Even with the same pecket size, the time of receiving packets from the VMS server to PDA is longer than the time of sending packets from PDA to the VMS Server, Thus, we conclude that when PDA is used as a client by applying different pecket size when sending and receiving packets should be achieved a better performance over a wireless LAN environment.

The IEEE 802.11e working group has announced a new distributed MAC(Medium Access Control) called EDCA(Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) to provide service differentiation among classified traffics. In comparison with the 802.11 legacy MAC, the EDCA provides QoS mechanism by differentiated channel access which is called AC(Access Category) to the frames with different priorities. In multimedia applications, however, the EDCA has some difficulties to achieve QoS throughput because of using fixed AC parameters and never considers overall throughputs, i.e. fairness, for classified services. In this paper, AC parameter control technique is proposed to achieve overall QoS throughputs with differentiated services. The proposed technique controls AC parameters dynamically in real time. Simulation is used to verify the technique and the simulation shows that QoS fairness is improved by 13% in throughput deviation in multimedia environments including voice, video and data service.

Recent wireless communications using the unlicensed band have been on the rise and the range of use is increasing. The license-exempted band is a prerequisite for accepting interference between telecommunication equipment. In particular, the interference phenomenon of Bluetooth, wireless LAN, and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) using the 2.4 GHz band is getting serious. In such urban areas, the wireless transmission medium may be in a bad state. There are roughly two ways to make effective transmission in this environment. The first is the IEEE 802.11 RTS / CTS method and the second is the frame fragmentation method. In this paper, it is difficult to transmit a frame over a certain size in a jamming environment due to the interference of the wireless environment. In this environment, we implement a frame division transmission scheme that guarantees effective transmission and reliability by dividing a frame into smaller units in order to perform reliability transmission and efficient transmission.

IEEE 802.11 무선랜에서 보안 문제는 무선 구간의 암호화와 인증 문제를 들 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 무선랜에서 핸드오프 인증으로 인해 발생하는 지연을 줄이기 위한 방안으로 WEP 키를 저장한 수 있는 캐시를 AP에 적용하는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 연구 결과에 의해 핸드오프가 빈번하게 일어나는 무선 인터넷 환경에서 각 AP에 캐시를 사용하여 초기 인증시 생성된 WEP 키를 저장하여 재사용함으로써 핸드오프 처리 지연에 대한 개선 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과를 최근 활성화 되고 있는 무선 인터넷에 활용하면 향 후 폭발적으로 늘어날 무선 단말기의 핸드오프시 지연에 효율적으로 대응할 수 있을 것이다.
