IEEE 802.15.4 reserves transmission time to support real-time transport by sending GTS request packets to the PAN coordinator in advance. This paper introduces GTS-FAT technique to reduce the reservation time by giving a higher sending priority to GTS request packets than data packets. Differently from the conventional scheme where these two kinds of packets share a single transmission queue, GTS-FAT scheme allocates two queues with two different contention window sizes like IEEE 802.11e. This paper also proposes an analytical GTS delay model by combining the two legacy models for 802.15.4 and 802.11e to accurately predict the GTS-FAT delay over a given network topology. Our analysis shows that GTS-FAT reduces GTS service delay by up to 50% at the expense of the data delay by only up to 6.1% when GTS request packets four times outnumber data packets.

In this Paper, we present a novel authentication and key exchange(AKE) protocol for inter-NSP(provider) roaming in IEEE 802.16e networks. The proposed protocol allows performing both user and device authentication jointly by using two different authentication credentials and Provides user anonymity and session key establishment. Also, this protocol requires only two round number message exchange between foreign network and home network.

IEEE 802.lie is a new standard to support Quality of Service. HCCA(HCF controlled channel access) is a channel access mechanism, which polls the Qos-stations, utilized by the HC in AP. In this paper, we proposed an efficient scheduling algorithm in HCCA and compared with existing algorithms. Extensive simulation has done in ns-2 and the simulation results show our algorithm outperforms existing algorithms.

The rapid progress of wireless LAN technology has prompted new security problems and countermeasures against them. Since the mobility of users and wireless access to the network exasperate potential security threat such as eavesdropping and illegal access, security services for wireless LAN should be provided. In this paper, we define the security model, WEP and AES encrypt/decrypt technologies which are proposed in the IEEE802.11 standard and the IEEE802.11eS draft and propose the Key distribution protocol for the wireless LAN.

광대역 무선 접속 표준을 관장하는 IEEE 802.16 워킹 그룹은 IEEE 802.16 표준을 2004년에 발표하였으며 이 IEEE 802.16 표준안에는 현재 WiMAX(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)라 불리는 고정 및 저속 이동 접속에 대한 광대역 무선 통신 지원 기술이 포함되어 있다. 특히 여러 기술 중 보안 관점에서 IEEE 802.16 표준은 MAC 계층 안에 PKM(Privacy Key Management)라고 불리는 Security Sub-layer를 가지고 있다. PKM은 PKMv1과 PKMv2로 구분되며, 먼저 PKMv1은 기본적인 인증 및 기밀성 기능을 제공하고 IEEE 802.16 표준에 기본적으로 적용되어있다. 하지만, IEEE 802.16 표준 이후 많은 연구들이 PKMv1의 보안성에 대하여 의문을 제기하였고 이에 따라 IEEE 802.16 표준안의 확장 개선안으로서 완전한 이동성을 바탕으로 하는 2005년 발표된 IEEE 802.16e 표준안에서는 향상된 보안 기능을 제공하는 PKMv2를 제공하며 기존 표준안의 부족한 점을 보완하기 위하여 시도하였다. 이러한 PKMv2는 EAP(Extensible Authentication Protocol) 인증, AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) 기반 기밀성 제공 알고리즘, CMAC/HMAC(Cipher/Hashed Message Authentication Code)을 사용한 메시지 인증 기능 제공 등 보다 다양한 보안 기능을 제공하였다. 그러나 IEEE 802.16e 표준안의 보안 기능은 SS(Subscriber Station)과 BS(Base Station)간의 통신구간 보안에 초점을 맞추어서 네트워크 도메인간의 보안 문제나 핸드오버시 보안과 같은 네트워크 구조적 보안 취약성을 여전히 가지고 있다. 하지만 표준안에서 정의하고 있는 SS와 BS 구간 보안 역시 완전한 솔루션을 제시하고 있지는 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 취약성을 고찰하고 그에 따른 대응방안을 제시하였다.

The rapid growth of the mobile Internet has enabled its application area to expand, and its users want services that require more bandwidth for multimedia services. There are limits to support the various multimedia service to mobile station provided by existing mobile communications. The wireless MAN called the IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access systems which the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is similar to wireline Internet service being able to supper a various contents is used and is designed to consider a handoff is studying. Especially, TG(Task Group)e of IEEE 802.16 is in progress discussion to support a handoff to higher layer using BS(Base Station) or unit of sector, to UC. Yet a scheme is not detail. This thesis proposes the network model for IEEE 802.16e to support a soft handoff between BSs to use a mobile communication network called cdma2000 Ix EV-DO network. The proposed network model supports soft handoff to add a management skill in MA of each BS for MC(Mobility Controller). The proposed network model has merits that is able to apply existing systems as it is and that is able to use a various multimedia service, when using a wireless Internet.

As a standard of WMNs, IEEE 802.11s supports two kinds of MAC algorithm: a mandatory EDCA used by IEEE 802.11e and an optional MCCA. While EDCA classifies traffic according to four Access Categories (AC) and offer differentiated service using a classified priority, MCCA can guarantee the specific bandwidth of users with a TDMA-style bandwidth reservation scheme between mesh routers. In case that a flow is VBR traffic of a multimedia application, MCCA has disadvantage that the reserved bandwidth does not be used entirely, though it guarantees required bandwidth of users and fairness using bandwidth reservation with neighbors' node. In this paper, we showed a problem that is wastes the reserved bandwidth when MCCA is enabled and proposed a new scheduling algorithm to prevent waste of bandwidth and to improve network utilization effectively, named Resource Sharing Round Robin (RSRR) scheduling. Finally we showed simulation results that performance of a proposed RSRR is better than the legacy MCCA through NS-2 simulation.

This paper addressed the implementation of the systematic performance analysis of Quality of Service (QoS) by using OPNET simulator in the interworking architecture of IEEE 802.16e (mobile WiMAX) and IEEE 802.11e (WLAN) wireless network. Four simulation cases were provided in OPNET simulator and a voice traffic was simulated with various performance metrics, such as Mean Opinion Score (MOS), end-to-end delay and packet transmission ratio. Based on the simulation results, the MOS value presented better in WiMAX to WiMAX case compared to others in both static and mobility case. Meanwhile, end-to-end delay was not greatly affected by mobility in four cases. However, mobility was affected much in MOS value and packet transmission ratio in WLAN to WLAN case than in others.

The IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) standard is designed to correct expensive communication costs in CDMA-based mobile communication systems and limited coverage problems in wireless LAN systems. Thus, the IEEE 802.16e standard can provide mobile high-speed packet access between mobile stations and the Internet service provider through the base station with cheap communication fees. To efficiently accommodate voice over IP (VoIP) services in IEEE 802.16 systems, an uplink quality of service packet-scheduling scheme is proposed, and its performance is evaluated with an NS-2 network simulator in this paper. Numerical results show that this proposed scheme can increase the system capacity by 100% more than in the unsolicited rand service (UGS) scheme and 30% more than the extended real-time polling service (ertPS) scheme, respectively.
