As information technologies are developing, the improvement of the quality of life becomes worldwide issues. Especially, to improve the quality of life of a patient suffering intermittent diseases, in addition to the some portable equipments for measuring, analyzing, and notifying the status of the patients, methods of communication for seamless transmission of the measured data over to the remote site, such as an emergency center or a hospital, are required. In this paper, we address a seamless transmission of patient monitoring data such as ECG from a moving patient to a remote site, wherever the patient may be. We divide the whole environments into two wireless communication environments: an indoor one based on WLAN and an outdoor one based on CDMA cellular network in which the patient is assumed to move anywhere. We develop algorithms, implement them on a PDA-based hardware platform, and show some of the results for handover between the two environments in addition to the data transmission for each of the two environments.

Recently, many researchers interested in core technology related to USN(Ubiqutious Sensor Network) with emerging Ubiqutious computing era. Especially, researched about various wireless telecommunication technologies such as ZigBee, Bluetooth, WLAN, CDMA, and various sensor nodes such as nano, Mote, and NeurFon are progressed in universities and research institutes of the world. In this paper, an advanced algorithm is proposed by analyzing problems of circumstance recognition and conventional real-time QoS of USN middleware technology. Finally, the performance of the proposed USN middleware is demonstrated through simulation.

In this paper, cross-aperture coupled microstrip circular polarization antenna is proposed for 5.8 GHz WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network). A single antenna consists of square patch and slots are located in series feed line with $\lambda_g$/4 phase different which make current direction maximum and minimum repeatedly to generate RHCP(Right Handed Circularly Polarization). We are proposed new structure that removed the section which intersected at a right angle and were composed to four separated slots. The proposed cross slots reduce back lobe of radiation pattern and improve antenna gain. Impedance bandwidth of the manufactured $2\times2$ array antenna is from 5.67 to 5.95 GHz and the maximum radiation gain is 10.59 dBi.

In bluetooth system, there are two kinds of interference. One is the frequency static interference, for example 802.11 direct sequence, the interferer uses fixed frequency band. Another is frequency dynamic interference, for example other piconets or 802.11 frequency hopping, the interferer uses dynamic frequency channel and cant be estimated. In this paper we introduce a novel solution of hybrid method of Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) to address the coexistence of bluetooth and Direct Sequence of wireless local area network (WLAN). Before any bluetooth packet transmission, in the turn around time of the current slot, both the sender and receiver sense the channel whether there is any transmission going on or not. If the channel is busy, packet transmission is withdrawn until another chance. This is the LBT in Bluetooth. Because of asymmetry sense ability of WLAN and bluetooth, AFH is introduced to combat the left front-edge packet collisions. In monitor period of AFH, LBT is performed to label the channels with static interference. Then, all the labeled noisy channels are not used in the followed bluetooth frequency hopping. In this way, both the frequency dynamic and frequency static interference are effectively mitigated. We evaluate the solution through packet collision analysis and a detail realistic simulation with IP traffic. It turns out that the hybrid method can combat both the frequency dynamic and frequency static interference. The packet collision analysis shows it almost doubles the maximal system aggregate throughput. The realistic simulation shows it has the least packet loss.

This paper proposes a blockchain system to share Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that recently suffers from mutual interference among increasing devices using unlicensed bands. Blockchain technology can induce cooperation from users by incentivizing them with cryptocurrency like shown in Bitcoin example. In this paper, we describe Blockchain based access mechanism in WLAN instead of conventional authentication based access. Here, users can access any WLAN access point by paying through smart contract while they also receive payment from others. In order to support real-time transaction, we apply proof-of-authority that is realized by Byzantine fault tolerant protocol instead of well-known proof-of-work that requires huge computing power and delay.

This paper presents a hardware-efficient auto-correlation scheme for the synchronization of MIMO-OFDM based wireless local area network (WLAN) systems, such as IEEE 802.11n. Carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation for the frequency synchronization requires high complexity auto-correlation operations of many training symbols. In order to reduce the hardware complexity of the MIMO-OFDM synchronization, we propose an efficient correlation scheme based on time-multiplexing technique and the use of reduced samples while preserving the performance. Compared to a conventional architecture, the proposed architecture requires only 27% logic gates and 22% power consumption with acceptable BER performance loss.

Along with the wide acceptance of IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN), new applications such as Internet protocol (IP) telephony over WLAN are fast emerging today. For battery-powered IP phone devices, the life time extension is a key concern for the market acceptance while today's 802.11 is not optimized for snch an operation. In this paper, we propose a novel idle mode operation, which comprises paging, idle handoff, and delayed handoff. Under the idle mode operation, a mobile host(MH) without any active session does not need to perform handoff within a predefined paging area (PA). Only when it enters a new PA, an idle handoff is performed. The proposed idle mode allows an MH without traffic to extend its life time. We develop a new analytical model in order to comparatively evaluate our proposed scheme. The numerical resnlts demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes with respect to power consumption.

IEEE 802.1x는 LAN(Local Area network) 환경에서의 인증을 위해서 IEEE에서 제안한 인증 표준 프로토콜이다 IEEE 802.1x는 token ring, FDDI(Fiber Distributed-Data Interrace), 802.3 등 다양한 802 표준에서 동작할 수 있도록 고안되었다 802.1x는 supplicant와 Authenticator, Authentication Server로 구성된다. 이러한 802.1x의 LAN 환경에서 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하기 위해서는 자원 예약 메커니즘이 필요하다. 이러한 자원 예약 메커니즘으로는 RSVP(Resource Resonation Protocol)가 있는데 이것은 유선 네트워크를 위해 설계되었기 때문에 새롭게 수정이 불가피하다. 본 논문에서는 RSVP를 수정 보완하여 WLAN(Wireless LAN)에 맞는 시그널링 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안한 시그널링 프로토콜을 이용하여 WLAN 에서의 QoS 문제를 해결한다.

WLAN(wireless local area network)-based positioning is the most attractive because it does not require any special equipments dedicated for positioning even though it is less accurate than the other strategies. Applying our WLAN-based decision tree method for indoor positioning, we obtained pedestrian's tracks, and performed stochastic confidence tests on the tracks in order to validate them.

본 논문은 WLAN 환경에서 웨이블릿과 신경망을 사용한 실내 위치인식 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 기본적인 아이디어는 경제적이면서 효율적인 방법으로써 실내에 설치된 무선 AP들로부터 수신된 신호들의 수신세기로부터 비교적 정확하게 위치를 추정하는 연구이다. 일반적으로 무선 신호는 주위 환경 및 건물 구조적 요인에 의해 수신세기가 더해지거나 감해지는 현상이 발생함으로써 수신된 각 신호세기로부터 신호 잡음과 오류에 강인하고 시간과 주파수 도메인의 정보 표현이 가능하며 각 신호세기들간의 구별성을 갖는 특징값 획득이 필요하다. 제안 방법에서는 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 수신된 신호로부터 중복 데이터와 잡음에 민감하게 반응하지 않는 특징값을 획득하고, 수신신호 전역 및 지역적 특징의 표현이 가능한 신경망을 사용하여 실내위치인식 방법은 제안한다. 실험 결과 실내위치 인식률이 94 % 이상 제시하였다.
