This paper presents the architecture design, implement, experimental validation of a bistatic backscatter wireless communication system in Wi-Fi network. The operating principle is to communicate a tag's data by detecting the power level of the power modulated Wi-Fi packets to be reflected or absorbed by backscatter tag, in interconnecting with Wi-Fi device and Wi-Fi AP. This system is able to provide the identification and sensor data of tag on the internet connectivity without requiring extra device for reading data, because this uses an existing Wi-Fi AP infrastructure. The backscatter tag consists of Wi-Fi energy harvesting part and a backscatter transmitter/a power-detecting receiver part. This tag can operate by harvesting and generating energy from Wi-Fi signal power. Wi-Fi device decodes information of the tag data by recognizing the power level of the backscattered Wi-Fi packets. Wi-Fi device receives the backscattered Wi-Fi packets and generates the tag's data pattern in the time-series of channel state information (CSI) values. We believe that this system can be achieved wireless connectivity for ultra- low-power IoT and wearable device.

Recently, with the development of the Internet of Things, research on protocols that can easily connect devices without a UI to the network has been steadily conducted. To this end, the Wi-Fi Alliance announced Wi-Fi Easy Connect, which can connect to a network using a QR code. However, since Wi-Fi Easy Connect requires a large amount of computation for safety, it is difficult to apply to low-power and miniaturized IoT devices. In addition, Wi-Fi Easy Connect considering scalability is designed to operate in a wired environment, but problems such as duplicate encryption occur because it does not consider a security environment like TLS. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the Wi-Fi Easy Connect protocol and propose a protocol that can operate efficiently in the TLS environment. It was confirmed that the proposed protocol satisfies the existing security requirements and at the same time reduces about 67% of ECC scalar multiplication operations with a large amount of computation.

Wi-Fi STAs in power saving mode described in the Wi-Fi specification can deteriorate the system performance such as throughput, time delay when they receive data frames from a Wi-Fi AP. This problem is caused by data frame reception failure due to the channel state, and it increases re-transmissions. In this paper, we propose a modified power saving mode considering fairness of Wi-Fi system in order to solve the problem. By simulation, we showed that data throughput can be increased without time delay degradation if the proposed method restricting the number of packet transmission attempts and HARQ are used.

The use of public Wi-Fi has increased in recent years with many people like to spend their time outside in malls or café shops which provide public Wi-Fi for their customers. However, since the public Wi-Fi can be accessed from any device the security of public Wi-Fi plays a big role to prevent the stealing of information by an attacker with methods and techniques such as WPA, WPA2 and WPA3. However, it is well known to the attackers that these methods are not difficult to get hacked by the attacker device to take the client precious information. Some researches were done in increasing the security of public Wi-Fi each with their own different technique or algorithm to provide more secure connection to the public Wi-Fi and prevent any unauthorized user to connect to avoid stealing the data of another legal user. Theses research paper are evaluated to learn which method excel in protecting the public Wi-Fi security by giving an analysis to the methods provided by the research paper with comparing the pros and cons of each algorithm. Moreover, the research displays that there are methods to actually provide security to the public Wi-Fi with each being very different in implementation.

As the number of smartphone users increases, research on indoor location recognition service is necessary. Access to indoor locations is predominantly WiFi, Bluetooth, etc., but in most quarters, WiFi is equipped with WiFi functionality, which uses WiFi features to provide WiFi functionality. The study uses the random forest algorithm, which employs the fingerprint index of the acquired WiFi and the use of the multI-value classification method, which employs the receiver signal strength of the acquired WiFi. As the data of the fingerprint, a total of 4 radio maps using the Mac address together with the received signal strength were used. The experiment was conducted in a limited indoor space and compared to an indoor location recognition system using an existing random forest, similar to the method proposed in this study for experimental analysis. Experiments have shown that the system's positioning accuracy as suggested by this study is approximately 5.8 % higher than that of a conventional indoor location recognition system using a random forest, and that its location recognition speed is consistent and faster than that of a study.

Wireless Docking system can provide enhanced convenience to user experience of handheld device such as smart phone by using previously deployed peripheral devises such as monitor and keyboard. In this environment, user can easily use the handheld device with variable peripheral devices at any docking system place. This system would be composed of peripherals except host computing device contrarily to previous desktop and laptop environment. For this system, Wi-Fi Alliance has been developing standard technology based on Wi-Fi Direct(Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer Technical Specifications v1.2, 2010) technology. However, this system can make a problem which may lead to complex connectivity on handheld device due to non-compatible communication interface. To address given problem, we designed a new method of Bluetooth tunneling technology via previous Wi-Fi Direct communication, and evaluated it with experiment results.

People counting is an important technology to provide application services such as smart home, smart building, smart car, etc. Due to the social distancing of COVID-19, the people counting technology attracted public attention. People counting system can be implemented in various ways such as camera, sensor, wireless, etc. according to service requirements. People counting system using WiFi AP uses WiFi CSI data that reflects multipath information. This technology is an effective solution implementing indoor with low cost. The conventional WiFi CSI-based people counting technologies have low accuracy that obstructs the high quality service. This paper proposes a deep learning people counting system based on WiFi CSI data. Data preprocessing using auto-encoder, data augmentation that transform WiFi CSI data, and a proposed deep learning model improve the accuracy of people counting. In the experimental result, the proposed approach shows 89.29% accuracy in 6 subjects.

Due to advances in wireless communications and portable terminals, any-time, any-where, and any-device Internet access is possible. In particular, Internet access in moving vehicles is an emerging and challenging issue. Even though a variety studies have been conduced for vehicular networks, little attention is paid to vehicular Wi-Fi networks where a Wi-Fi access point (AP) is installed at the vehicle and the AP is connected to an external base station (BS). In this paper, we conduct a measurement study on the uplink and downlink throughput for Internet access in vehicular Wi-Fi networks. We consider diverse network environments: high-speed train, car, and subway. Measurement results demonstrate that current Internet access in vehicular Wi-Fi networks are not satisfactory for interactive multimedia applications. Therefore, in-depth study on resource management in vehicular Wi-Fi networks is strongly required.
