The LDPC(Low-Density Parity-Check) code, which is one of the channel encoding methods in IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN standard, has superior error-correcting capabilities. Since the hardware complexity of LDPC decoder is high, it is very important to take into account the trade-offs between hardware complexity and decoding performance. In this paper, the effects of LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio) approximation on the performance of MSA(Min-Sum Algorithm)-based LDPC decoder are analyzed, and some optimal design conditions are derived. The parity check matrix with block length of 1,944 bits and code rate of 1/2 in IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard is used. In the case of $BER=10^{-3}$, the $E_b/N_o$ difference between LLR bit-widths (6,4) and (7,5) is 0.62 dB, and $E_b/N_o$ difference for iteration cycles 6 and 7 is 0.3 dB. The simulation results show that optimal BER performance can be achieved by LLR bit-width of (7,5) and iteration cycle of 7.

In this paper, we have designed and favricated the high gain and wideband microstrip patch antenna including IEEE 802.11a. To widen the bandwidth of microstrip antenna, firstly we have used the microstrip line-coaxial probe feeding method and inserted a U-slot in the rectangular patch. Secondly, to improve the antenna gain, we have used a $2{\times}2$ array structure. From the measured results, wideband characteristics of 1 GHz bandwidth($5.110{\sim}6.142$ GHz) for VSWR<2 was obtained. The measured eain was 13 dBi in both the E-plane and H-plane at the frequency of 5.15 GHz, 5.35 GHz, 5.50 GHz, and 5.85 GHz.

In this paper, we propose a small broadband antenna for mobile device. The proposed antenna consists of a printed rectangular monopole antenna and a parastic element connected to ground using narrow meander line and it is designed on a FR-4 substrate that has a thickness of 0.8 mm and a dielectric constant of 4.4. The FR-4 substrate's size is 50 mm${\times}$90 mm comparable to the real mobile device. The fabricated antenna's size is 12.5 mm${\times}$10.5 mm${\times}$0.8 mm and the measurement shows -10 dB return loss bandwidth of 2,200~6,000 MHz and gains of 2.86~4.01 dBi. Accordingly, the proposed antenna can support mobile device for WiBro(2,300~2,380 MHz), WLAN(IEEE 802.11b/g/n: 2,400~2,480 MHz, IEEE 802.11a: 5,150~5,825 MHz), and mobile WiMAX(IEEE 802.16e : 2,500~2,690 MHz, 3,400~3,600 MHz) service bands.

In this parer, an improved backoff algorithm is proposed by supplementing a multiple of persistence factor for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN MAC. This algorithm is proposed to complement the shortcomings of the conventional BEB (Binary Exponential Backoff) algorithm which is used for retransmission to control a new contention window in DCF/EDCF MAC. In channel utilization, collision rate and Goodput viewpoint, we analysis the improved backoff algorithm and compared the result with that of the conventional algorithm In this result, we showed that the performance for PFA backoff algorithm is 10% higher than that for the conventional BEB algorithm when the number of station is 40.

IEEE 802.16e has adopted sleep mode to minimize energy consumption of mobile nodes with high speed mobility. If the Base Station (BS) has no data to be sent to a Mobile Subscriber Station (MSS) at the instant of ending sleep window of the MSS, the MSS increases its sleep window interval by double until the window interval reaches to the maximum sleep window interval. Thus, during the operation of sleep mode, MSS repeatedly performs switch on/off action until there exist frames to be received from BS. The switch on/off operation significantly consumes energy of MSS. To effectively deal with the energy of the MSS, this paper proposes an algorithm which decides the minimum sleep window interval that will be used in next sleep mode based on the current sleep window interval. We evaluate the performance of IEEE 802.16e sleep mode algorithm and our proposed algorithm in terms of energy consumption and blocking probability. Compared with the current sleep mode algorithm used in IEEE 802.16e, the proposed algorithm decreases the energy consumption by about 30% without increasing blocking probability.

As the interest in VANET is increased, a study on the beacon message transmission between vehicles is actively being made. IEEE 802.11p/1609.4 standard is based on a multichannel system consisting of multiple service channels (SCH) and a control channel (CCH). Multiple SCHs are defined for nonsafety data transfer, while the CCH is used to broadcast safety messages called beacons and control messages (i.e., service advertisement messages). However, most messages broadcast in the only one CCH belong to safety application that must be contested in dense vehicular network. This paper suggests safety message transfer algorithm in dense vehicular congestion. The proposed algorithm is that the priority of safety messages is decided by decision tree and messages are stored in proper queues according to their priorities. Then, safety messages with higher priorities are sent in turn by CCH in the assigned time. The proposed algorithm decreases the beacon transmission delay and increase on the probability of a successful beacon reception in an IEEE 802.11p/1609.4-based network.

Since multimedia data takes large part of realtime transmission in wireless communication environments such as IEEE 802.11, QoS issues became one of the important problems with network performance. 802.11e MAC provides differentiated services based on priority schemes to solve existing 802.11 MAC problems. The TXOP is an important factor with the priority to improve network performance and QoS because it defines the time duration in which multiple frames can be transferred at one time for each station. In this paper, therefore frame sizes, TXOP Limit, and Priority values in accordance with the number of stations are experimented and derived for best network performance and QoS. Using 802.11e standard parameters, simulation results show the best throughput when the number of stations is 5 and TXOP Limit value is 6.016ms. For fairness, the best result is achieved at 3.008ms of TXOP Limit value and 15-31 of CW(Contention Window) that is lower priority than CW 7-15.

In this paper, we describe the optimization of the link-level performance and the complexity of floating-point and fixed-point methods in IEEE 802.16e OFDMA/TDD mobile modem. In floating-point design, we propose the channel estimation methods for downlink traffic channel and select the optimized method using computer simulation. So we also propose efficent algorithms for time and frequency synchronization, Digital Front End and CINR estimation scheme to optimize the system performance. Furthermore, we describe fixed-point method of uplink traffic and control channels. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is validated using the performances of Detection, False Alarm, Missing Probability and Mean Acquisition Time, PER Curve, etc. For fixed-point design, we propose an efficient methodology for optimized fixed-point design from floating-point At last, we design fixed-point of traffic channel, time and frequency synchronization, DFE block in uplink and downlink. The tradeoff between performance and complexity are optimized through computer simulations.
