본 논문에서는 방향성 안테나를 사용하는 이동 노드들로 구성된 애드 혹 네트워크에서의 새로운 매체 접근 제어 프로토콜을 제안한다. 고려된 네트워크에서는 단일 채널이 사용되며, 각각의 노드는 하나의 트랜시버와 m개의 방향성 안테나를 사용하며 특정 안테나를 필요시 on/off할 수 있다고 가정한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 은닉 단말기 문제를 해결하여 서로 다른 노드로부터 동일 노드로 전송되는 사용자 데이터 프레임의 충돌을 방지하는 한편, 노출 단말기 문제를 해결하여 이웃한 노드들이 서로 다른 노드들로 사용자 데이터 프레임을 동시에 전송 또는 수신할 수 있다. 네트워크 이용도에 있어서도 단일 채널 애드 혹 네트워크의 매체 접근 제어 프로토골 중 가장 우수한 것으로 알려진 DBTMA보다도 최대 25%정도 향상되었다.

In this paper, we discuss a novel reservation-based, asynchronous MAC protocol called 'Multi-rate Multi-hop MAC Protocol' (MMMP) for multi-hop ad hoc networks that provides QoS guarantees for multimedia traffic. MMMP achieves this by providing service differentiation for multirate real-time traffic (both constant and variable bit rate traffic) and guaranteeing a bounded end-to-end delay for the same while still catering to the throughput requirements of non real time traffic. In addition, it administers bandwidth preservation via a feature called 'Smart Drop' and implements efficient bandwidth usage through a mechanism called 'Release Bandwidth'. Simulation results on the QualNet simulator indicate that MMMP outperforms IEEE 802.11 on all performance metrics and can efficiently handle a large range of traffic intensity. It also outperforms other similar state-of-the-art MAC protocols.

The frequency accuracy and phase alignment is necessary for ensuring the quality of service (QoS) for applications such as voice, real-time video, wireless hand-off, and data over a converged access medium at the telecom network. As telecom networks evolve from circuit to packet switching, proper synchronization algorithm should be meditated for IP networks to achieve performance quality comparable to that of legacy circuit-switched networks. The Time of Packet (ToP) specified in IEEE 1588 is able to synchronize distributed clocks with an accuracy of less than one microsecond in packet networks. But, The ToP can be affected by impairments of a network such as packet delay variation. This paper proposes the efficient method to minimize the expectable delay variation when ToP synchronizes the distributed clocks. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the improved performance case when the efficient ToP transmit algorithm is applied.

일반적인 무선 통신망은 데이터 전송 고속화에 중심을 두고 발전해 왔으나, 최근 무선 센서 네트워크와 같은 응용 분야에서 소량의 데이터와 낮은 처리 속도를 지원하면서 저비용, 경량, 저전력을 요구하는 무선 통신 기술이 필요하게 됨에 따라 IEEE에서 LR-WPAN(Low Rate-Wireless Personal Area Network)을 위한 새로운 IEEE 802.15.4 표준이 제시되었다. 현재 무선 센서 네트워크에 관한 연구는 소형 경량의 MAC(Medium Access Control ) 프로토콜 개발이 핵심 기술로 인식되면서, 저전력 소모를 위한 라우팅 기법, MAC 프로토콜의 패킷처리 기술 등이 우선적으로 진행 중이다. 그러나 무선 센서 네트워크와 같은 응용분야에 사용 가능한 표준인 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜의 실질적인 상용화를 위해서는 표준안 분석 및 검증 과정이 기본적으로 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.4 표준안의 핵심인 MAC 프로토콜을 정형화된 명세 언어인 SDL(Specification and Description Language)를 이용하며 상세 설계 및 분석 후, 자동화 도구를 이용한 모의수행을 통하여 검증하였으며 표준안과의 비교 및 오류 수정을 거친 연구결과를 기술한다.

With the rapidly changing external environment and the increasing internal process complexity more and more organizations are adopting the Electronic Approval System(EAS) for their competitiveness. This paper defines EAS as a core organizational communication medium investigates factors which influence EAS's use from a media rich-ness theory and shows sutiable EAS functions for equivocality resolution and uncertainty reduction. Results from the five EAS implementation sites show that most organizations use EAS only for tasks with low equivocality and low uncertainty. Additional functionalities such as video conferencing and database access were suggested for fu-ture EAS system to enhance their utilization for more cirtical and unstructed tasks.

We proposed a framework for computer-supported credit evaluation systems for the effective management of credit risks in Korean commercial banks. Especially for medium and small sized companies, credit evaluators used to depend much on past experience rather than formalized principles and rules. Therefore, we applied case-based reasoning. The credit grade of a company is roughly determined by searching for alreadygraded similar companies in terms of usually accepted evaluation items. And then the grade is refined and adjusted by considering additional information about exceptional facts or by reflecting other evaluation results from different methods or techniques. Booch's object-oriented analysis and design method, Visual Basic 5.0 and MS Access 97 are used for the development of this prototype system.

The DCF (Dcistributed Coordination Function) and PCF (Point Coordination Function) are the basic MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. According to the DCF, each node performs the exponential backoff algorithm before the transmission of its data frame. Each node doubles the backoff waiting time before the transmission of its data frame whenever it detects the transmission collision with other nodes. Therefore, as the number of the active nodes having the data frames to transmit increases, the overall MAC performance of the DCF decreases. On the other hand, according to the PCF, each node is granted the transmission opportunity by which the PCF transmission is possible without the collision with other nodes. Therefore, as the number of the active nodes increases, the MAC performance of the PCF increases, In this paper, considering the tradeoff of MAC performance between the DCF and PCF, a hybrid MAC protocol is proposed to enhance the performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.

In this paper, a collision-free resource reservation scheme for WUSB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus) networks with WiMedia D-MAC (Distributed Medium Access Control). Since distributed characteristic of the WiMedia D-MAC supporting DRP (Distributed Reservation Protocol) scheme may cause lots of conflicts, overall performances of the WUSB with WiMedia D-MAC can be deteriorated. In addition, when we consider multi-hop environment, "mobile" hidden node problem due to mobility of WUSB devices can be happened, and it is a critical problem to mobile WUSB devices transceiving real-time QoS (Quality of Service) traffic. To tackle the problem, we propose a new DRP reservation mechanism to prevent DRP conflicts for multi-hop mobility support in WUSB networks with WiMedia D-MAC and show its improved performance via simulation results.

This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) ad-hoc networks. Multiple-packet receptions in MIMO systems have attracted as a key technique to achieve a high transmission rate. In the conventional protocols for multiple-packet receptions, timing offsets among multiple-frame transmissions cause frame collisions induced by hidden nodes, which degrades network performance. In the proposed protocol, transmission synchronization among hidden nodes can be achieved by applying pulse/tone exchanges. By applying the pulse/tone exchanges, multiple-packet receptions among hidden nodes can be achieved, which enhances network throughputs compared with the conventional protocol. Simulation results show effectiveness of the proposed protocol.
