In this paper, we propose WLAN CR coexistence beacon protocol for thenext WLAN network. This method can provide WLAN with high-speed data rate in new WLAN architecture and network platform based on cognitive radio technology. WLAN CR devices that enter the CR network can know UHF channels by listening CR beacon including the coexistence parameter set and start using CR channel fast. During handover of WLAN device in UHF spectrums, WLAN device that lost their channel can change available channel by obtaining the current CR channel information from the CR beacon. In advance relaying coexistence parameter set to entire CR system, WLAN CR system can prepare own candidate channel set that is different with other CR system. In CR beacon and relay delay, we show the results that WLAN CR coexistence beacon protocol supports spectrum handover efficiently and decreases the probability of collision in candidate channel set.

본 논문에서는 indoor 환경에서 CR 네트워크를 이용하기 위한 방안으로 CR-Wi-Fi device 시스템을 제안했으며 IU 을 보호하는 방법으로 CR beaconing 을 제안했다. IU 가 출현하면 UHF, VHF band 와 ISM band 로 동시에 이를 알리고 CR 네트워크가 간섭을 주는 경우 사용 중이던 채널 사용을 중지 혹은 이동하도록 명령해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 CR beaconing 방식을 제안하여 보다 효과적인 IU 보호 및 복구를 수행하도록 하였다.

Control message exchange is major job for cognitive radio to exist and use spectrum opportunistically. For this control message exchange they need a common control channel (CCC). Once this channel is affected by a primary user, communication stops until new CCC is setup. This takes substantial time and if they could not get free channel, this halt continues for long time. To prevent such cease of communication, we propose a combination of two networks, namely WLAN and UWB, to let the communication continue. In our proposed idea if the CCC of a certain CR in WLAN is affected, the CR changes its network from WLAN to UWB and keeps the communication because UWB cannot be affected by PU. In the proposed idea every cognitive radio has two transceivers; one for the overlay network (WLAN) and another UWB network. If a primary user is detected in the spectrum of a cognitive radio, it continues exchanging control messages under the UWB network and in parallel negotiates for a new CCC using the WLAN network. This idea solves the communication interruption until new CCC is setup.

Recently dense wireless local area networks (WLANs) emerge as the number of WLAN cells and stations increases. In such dense WLAN environment, this paper proposes a new distributed medium access control (MAC) protocol. The proposed MAC protocol extends the previous CSMA with collision resolution (CSMA/CR) that uses a single collision detection (CD) phase and employs multiple CD phases to resolve more collisions. It checks the collision detection in each CD phase and stops the CD phase if consecutive non-detected CD phases occur more than the threshold. Therefore, the proposed protocol can control the number of CD phases adaptively according to the number of accessing stations and increase the probability of collision resolution while decreasing the packet overhead. The simulation results show that the proposed adaptive CSMA/CR protocol employs a variable number of CD phases according to the number of stations and achieves a greater throughput than the previous CSMA/CR protocol using the fixed number of CD phases.

In this paper, we proposed the methodology of interference analysis based on monte-carlo method for effective use of Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) band. The interference scenario is divided according to the distance and density. The simulation of interference analysis evaluates the interference probability according to distribution density of Interfering Transmitters (It) in the Secure Interference Area (SIA). The SIA is gained from the Interference Efficiency Range that satisfied to Interference Permissible Range of Victim Receiver (Vr). Simulation result that apply the proposed interference scenario to the WLAN and bluetooth, Interference Permissible Range was 60~400m. And the WLAN was acceptable within interference permissible range to six bluetooth that exist in the SIA. In the same condition, when applied Listen Before Talk (LBT) based on Cognitive Radio (CR) to the bluetooth using Frequency Hopping (FH), interference probability was decreased sharply. The Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool (SEAMCAT) that has been developed based on the monte-carlo method by European Radio-communications Office (ERO) were used to the interference simulation.

In this paper, we proposed the scheme in which the CR user can coexist with the primary user assumed to be 802.11b WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) in the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band without harming the primary user based on interference temperature. Based upon the systematic process introduced in this paper, the coexistence of CR user would be possible.

In this paper, we have analyzed the effects of co-channel, adjacent-channel, and the human shield(Body Blockage) for wideband WLAN based on the IEEE802.11n 40MHz channel bandwidth required for high speed digital signage service. Simulation results show that wideband WLAN can be operated with 78 interferers over 63m distance in co- channel, 80 interferer over 61m distance in adjacent channel. By applying the mitigation method for reducing the interference, we have confirmed that protection distance is improved to 51m using beamforming, and 40m using cognitive radio in co-channel interference. Also body blockage interference is reduced using adaptive channel bandwidth, C/I ratio, beamforming, power control mitigation methodology.

A sensor network system can be an efficient tool for healthcare telemetry for multiple users due to its power efficiency. One drawback is its limited data size. This paper proposed a real-time application of data compression/decompression method in u-Health monitoring system in order to improve the network efficiency. Our high priority was given to maintain a high quality of signal reconstruction since it is important to receive undistorted waveform. Our method consisted of down sampling coding and differential Huffman coding. Down sampling was applied based on the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem and signal amplitude was taken into account to increase compression rate in the differential Huffman coding. Our method was successfully tested in a ZigBee and WLAN dual network. Electrocardiogram (ECG) had an average compression ratio of 3.99 : 1 with 0.24% percentage root mean square difference (PRD). Photoplethysmogram (PPG) showed an average CR of 37.99 : 1 with 0.16% PRD. Our method produced an outstanding PRD compared to other previous reports.
