In this paper, an R_ALOHA_CDMA protocol is proposed for voice and data integrated services in the hybrid TDMA/CDMA wireless networks. In the hybrid TDMA/CDMA systems, the backward logical channels are composed of time slots with multiple spreading codes per slot. In the proposed protocol, a voice terminal can reserve a spreading code to transmit voice packets during a talkspurt. On the other hand, whenever a data terminal generates a packet, it transmits the packet through one of the available spreading codes. Throughout the results, it is shown that the system capacity increases in proportion to the number of spreading codes.

기존의 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 센서 노드는 하나의 전방향성 안테나와 하나의 무선 채널을 공유하여 데이터를 전송하므로 과다한 채널 경쟁과 센서 노드간의 데이터 충돌로 데이터 재전송이 자주 발생하여 불필요한 에너지의 소비가 많고, 소스 노드와 목적지 노드의 데이터 전송시 RTS(Request To Send)와 CTS(Clear To Send) 패킷을 사용하여 전파 전송 범위 전체에 대해 채널 예약을 하므로 공간의 활용도가 낮은 편이다. 본 논문에서는 전방향성 안테나의 문제점 및 단점을 보완하기 위한 방법으로 지향성 안테나를 사용하기 위한 SRDMAC(Spatial Reuse Directional MAC) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 센서 노드 간의 데이터 전송시 충돌을 방지하여 데이터 재전송에 소모되는 에너지와 목적지 노드가 위치한 영역 일부분에만 데이터를 전송함으로 에너지 소모량을 줄일 수 있으며, 목적지 노드가 위치한 영역을 제외한 다른 영역의 이웃 노드와의 데이터 전송이 가능하므로 공간 재 사용율을 최대한 증가시킬 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 멀티 홉 무선 네트워크에서 적용 가능한 통합적인 MAC 및 라우팅 프로토콜인 ExOR 의 성능개선을 위한 방안을 제시하였다. ExOR 은 무선 네트워크의 전송이 브로드 캐스트 방식으로 이루어지는 것을 이용하여 기회주의적인 라우팅을 시도함으로써 멀티 홉 무선 네트워크에서 링크의 사용량을 낮추고 쓰루풋을 높일 수 있는 전송 기법이다. 하지만 ExOR 은 멀티 홉 무선 네트워크의 크기가 확장되거나 링크의 전송률이 낮다면 라우팅에 참여하는 노드들의 패킷 전달이 원활하지 않기 때문에 지연시간이 크게 증가하여 성능이 급격히 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 ExOR 라우팅 프로토콜을 적용 시, 패킷을 전달하는 노드 이외의 다른 노드들이 자기 차례가 되기 전까지 아무 일도 하지 않는다는 점에 착안하여 동시에 2 개 이상의 노드가 패킷을 전달하는 방식을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 ExOR 라우팅에 참여하는 노드가 패킷을 전달 할 때, 패킷 간 충돌 및 간섭을 최소로 할 수 있는 2 개 이상의 다른 노드를 선택하여 동시에 패킷 전송을 시도하는 방식으로 지연시간을 줄이고, 쓰루풋을 향상시키는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

VANET are a special kind of MANET adapted to the communications between vehicles. In this work, we propose the models used for representing the communication among vehicles, vehicles mobility features, and VANET simulator using realistic vehicular mobility models. VANET requires that a traffic and network simulator should be used together to perform this test. But, simulator tool has been preferred over traffic simulation because it simple, easy and cheap. Goal of this paper is to create a simulation of Vehicular Ad-Hoc network for urban scenario which can be used for testing purposes. Such environment can be used while designing better MAC protocols in VANETs. We are evaluating the performance of two routing protocols namely AODV and DSDV. The comparison was based on the throughout, packet loss and end-to-end delay. We found that DSDV has less throughput performance and high routing overhead than AODV. On average end-to-end delay and packet loss, AODV performs better than DSDV.

Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) is a representative break-through communication technology for wireless personal area networks on nowaday. In this environment, most of significant performance should be aiming to energy efficiency due to the policy for manufacturing light-weighted communication devices derived from requirement of world IoT market, and many researches have been developed to satisfy this requirement. While Bluetooth LE has been leading the low power communication technology required from the current market by employing duty cycle and frequency hopping approaches, it couldn't address the problem of reliability on broadcast transmissions. The main goal of this paper is aiming to addressing this problem by suggesting a new method. Furthermore analytic evaluations would also be proceeded to find objective results in the view point of broadcast transmission efficiency from Master device.

This paper proposes an efficient channel assignment method for real-time service in the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN system, and analyzes the supportability to real-time service and the channel utilzation of that through computer simulations. The improved MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol employing the proposed channel assignment method achieved good throughput over contention period as well as contention-free period by making real-time terminals transmit the information about their desiring value before starts of data transmissions. For performance evaluation of the proposed method, a simulation analyzing the variation of allocated bandwidths to terminals using real-time service and their buffer sizes wasexecuted. Real-time data traffics was modeled s 7-stae transition VBR sources, and asynchronous data traffics modeled as Poisson processes. In the simulation, the proposed method showed smaller variation of the bandwidth of each terminal and samller buffer size than the existing method, and also recorded good throughput over contention period.

WAVE(Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments) system is wireless communication technology that vehicle sends and receives packets between vehicles or between vehicles and infrastructure in a high-speed mobile environment. In this study, we have designed and implemented a CRL(Certificate Revocation List) download protocol that is used to verify certificate revocation status of the other party when the vehicles communicate with WAVE system. This protocol operates over UDP. And to support security features, also, ECDSA(Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) is used for mutual authentication and ECIES(Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme) is used to ensure the confidentiality. Moreover, this protocol ensures the integrity of data by adding MAC(Message Authentication Code) to the end of packet and support the error and flow control mechanisms.

This paper proposes the architecture and protocol of a data communication network for the safety system in nuclear power plants. First, we establish four design criteria with respect to determinability, reliability, separation and isolation, and verification/validation. Next we construct the architecture of the safety network for the following systems: PPS (Plant Protection System), ESF-CCS (Engineered Safety Features-Component Control System) and CPCS (Core Protection Calculator System). The safety network consists of 12 sub-networks and takes the form of a hierarchical star. Among 163 communication nodes are about 1600 origin-destination (OD) pairs created on their traffic demands. The OD pairs are allowed to exchange data only during the pre-assigned time slots. Finally, the communication protocol is designed in consideration of design factors for the safety network. The design factors include a network topology of star, fiber-optic transmission media, synchronous data transfer mode, point-to-point link configuration, and a periodic transmission schedule etc. The resulting protocol is the modification of IEEE 802.15.4 (LR-WPAN) MAC combined with IEEE 802.3 (Fast Ethernet) PHY. The MAC layer of IEEE 802.15.4 is simplified by eliminating some unnecessary (unctions. Most importantly, the optional TDMA-like scheme called the guaranteed time slot (GTS) is changed to be mandatory to guarantee the periodic data transfer. The proposed protocol is formally specified using the SDL. By performing simulations and validations using Telelogic Tau SDL Suite, we find that the proposed safety protocol fits well with the characteristics and the requirements of the safety system in nuclear power plants.

User scheduling boosts the Multi-User Multi-Input Multi-Output (MU-MIMO) gain by selecting an optimal set of users to increase the 802.11 Wi-Fi system capacities. Many kinds of user scheduling algorithms, however, fail to realize the advantages of MU-MIMO due to formidable Channel State Information (CSI) overhead. In this paper, we propose a user scheduling method considering such CSI exchange overhead and its MAC protocol, called ACE (Active CSI Exchange based User Scheduling for MU-MIMO Transmission). Unlike most proposals, where user scheduling is performed after an Access Point (AP) receives CSI from all users, ACE determines the best user set during the CSI exchange phase. In particular, the AP broadcasts a channel hint about previously scheduled users, and the remaining users actively send CSI reports according to their Effective Channel Gains (ECGs) calculated from the hint. Through trace-driven MATLAB simulations, we prove that the proposed scheme improves the throughput gain significantly.
