IEEE 802.15.4a standard can provide a variety of location-based services for ZigBee or wireless network applications by adapting the time-of-arrival (TOA) ranging technique. The non-line-of-sight (NLOS) condition is the critical problem in the IEEE 802.15.4a networks, and it can significantly degrade the performance of the TOA-based localization. To enhance the location accuracy due to the NLOS problem, this paper proposes an energy-efficient low complexity localization algorithm. The proposed approach performs the ranging with the multicast method, which can reduce the message overhead due to packet exchanges. By limiting the search region for the location of the node, the proposed approach can enhance the location accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous algorithms in terms of the energy consumption and the localization accuracy.

Recently, various application services in wireless sensor networks are more considered than before, and thus reliable and secure communication of sensor network is turning out as one of essential issues. This paper studies such communication in IEEE 802.15.4 based sensor network. We present IMHRS (IEEE 802.15.4 MAC-based Hybrid hop-by-hop Reliability Scheme) employing EHHR (Enhanced Hop-by-Hop Reliability), which uses Hop-cache and Hop-ack and ALC (Adaptive Link Control), which considers link status and packet type. Also, by selecting security suite depending on network and application type, energy efficiency is considered based on HAS (Hybrid Adaptive Security) Framework. The presented schemes are evaluated by simulations and experiments. Besides, the prototype system is developed and tested to show the potential efficiency.

This paper describes the Dual-band WLAN transmitter with 2.4[GHz], 5[GHz]. Dual-band WLAN transmitter was designed at 2.4[GHz] and 5[GHz]. The Dual-band WLAN transmitter has a amplifier which operate at 2.4[GHz] and 5[GHz] frequency and two VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) or VCO has a wide scope of frequency. these problem cause a size and a power consumption, The Dual-band WLAN transmitter module was proposed to solve these. the transmitter was designed to get output signals of IEEE 802.11a's 5.8[GHz] band signal using frequency multiplication way or to act a amplifier about the 2.4[GHz] band signal of IEEE 802.11b/g, according to inputed frequency and bias voltage that a eve using single transmission block. The output spectrum get the improved specification of ACPR of 4[dB], 6[dB], 16[dB] at +11[MHz], +20[MHz], +30[MHz] offset of center frequency compared to no linearization, was satisfied to transmit spectrum mask of IEEE 802.11a wireless Lan.

In this paper, we propose a mechanism for increasing the handover performance of the IEEE 802.11 link layer. The mechanism reduces the number of scanning channels by referencing an AP map based on GPS. Also, by monitoring the SNRs of the mobile node and neighbor APs, it enables the handover to maintain a higher SNR than a given threshold. The experimental results establish that it has a disconnection ratio of 6.7% and an average SNR of 16.8 dB. It is 4.1% lower disconnection ratio and 26% higher SNR than the mechanism used by MadWifi.

In this paper, we compare the performance of representative MIMO techniques such as space-time block code, closed-loop transmit diversity, and V-BLAST, etc., in IEEE 802.22 environments. We first develope deco-ding algorithms of the representative MIMO techniques and design a MIMO-OFDM system employing QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM to cover several transmission rates. Since the frequency band used for IEEE 802.22 systems belongs mostly to V/UHF band and the angular spread of the received signal at the base station is very small, there Is a significant correlation between the signals from transmit antennas. Thus, in this paper, we compare the performance of MIMO-OFDM systems employing only two Tx antennas in correlated fading environments.

IoT has been consistently used in various fields such as smart home, wearables, and healthcare. Since IoT devices are small terminals, relatively simple wireless communication protocols such as IEEE 802.15.4 and ISO 18000 series are used. In this paper, we designed the 802.15.4q 2.4 GHz TASK physical layer. Physical protocol data unit of TASK supports bit-level interleaving and shortened BCH encoding. It is spread by unique ternary sequences. There are four spreading factors to choose the data rate according to the communication channel environment. The TASK physical layer was designed using verilog-HDL and verified through the loop-back test of the transceiver. The designed TASK physical layer was implemented in a fpga and tested using MAXIM RFICs. The PER was about 0% at 10 dB SNR. It is expected to be used in small, low power IoT applications.

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.

In this paper, we designed an embedded audio video bridging (AVB) platform based on IEEE 802.1BA for real-time multimedia transmission in smart-car, smart-home, smart-theater, and then evaluated a performance of the implemented platform by analysis of IEEE 802.1AS (time synchronization protocol) and IEEE 802.1Qat (stream reservation protocol). Especially, the AVB Layer-2 protocol of MRP(Multiple Registration Protocol), MMAP(Multicast Address Acquisition Protocol), IEEE 1722, 1722.1 etc. was and implemented by linux based operating system. It is shown by interoperability tests with commercial products that the implemented platform transmits real-time multichannel AV data over AVB networks for Multichannel Multimedia Transmission.

In this paper, we propose a joint bandwidth allocation and path selection scheme for IEEE 802.16j networks in uplink with cooperative relaying, and we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme by using OPNET based simulation in hilly terrain with heavy tree density. The proposed scheme maximizes the system throughput in uplink with cooperative relaying in IEEE 802.16j networks. Then, we transform the proposed scheme into multi-dimensional multiple choice knapsack problem (MMKP) based scheme. We also propose uplink throughput maximization scheme and MMKP based scheme without cooperative relaying. We show that the system throughput of the proposed MMKP based scheme is higher than that of link quality based scheme, and cooperative relaying provides higher system throughput than the conventional case without cooperative relaying in uplink.
