In this paper, we propose to modify the IEEE 802.16 MAC protocol in order to allow the coexistence of IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16 wireless networks in shared bands. Our suggested protocol enables 802.16 WMAN to control WLAN devices for the coexistence. That is, in the downlink subframes(BS to SS), SS(Subscriber Station) prohibits WLAN to transmit by using CTS(Clear to Send) in order to protect it's burst. In the uplink subframes(SS to BS), on the other hand, BS(Base Station) sends CTS to block WLAN's communications. Our proposals enables the coexistence between WLAN and WMAN, and simulation results show that our protocols enhance the throughput of the entire system.

본 논문에서는 공용 주파수 대역에서 IEEE 802.11 WLAN과 IEEE 802.16 WMAN과의 효율적인 공존을 위한 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안한 프로토콜은 IEEE 802.11 WLAN과 IEEE 802.16 WMAN이 주파수를 공유하며 지리적으로 공존하는 환경을 가정하였다. IEEE 802.16 WMAN의 BS(Base station)와 SS(Subscriber station)의 통신에서 DL(Down Link)구간에서는 SS가 자신의 DL-burst에서 IEEE 802.11의 CTS를 보내 주변의 IEEE 802.11 디바이스들의 통신을 지연시킴으로써 IEEE 802.11 WLAN 및 IEEE 802.16 WMAN이 공존하면서도 충돌을 방지해 전송 효율을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 MAC 프로토콜의 동작에 대해 설명하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존 방법보다 향상된 성능을 유지함을 보인다.

With the growth of the internet, the number of wireless internet users has increased continuously up to date. However, mobile communications could not support high speed transmission rate with cheap communication fee and wireless LAN has problems in providing terminal mobility and wide area connectivity, respectively. So the WMAN standard has been newly designed to make up for these limits. The initial 802.16 specification effectively offers a solution for providing fixed users with high speed wireless communication but it does not offer terminal mobility. So the 802.16d and 802.16e have been developed as the next generation solution that can support various PHY layer (SC, SCa, OFDM, OFDMA) and offer the terminal mobility. In this paper, we propose an effective uplink scheduling algorithm for VoIP with using UGS, and we show that our proposed algorithm is superior in view of average delay and management of uplink bandwidth to conventional rtPS algorithm and the scheme in reference, with using NS-2 network simulator.

Double-binary turbo code has been adopted as an error control code of various future communication systems including wireless metropolitan area networks(WMAN) due to its powerful error correction capability. One of the components affecting the performance of turbo code is internal interleaver. In 802.16 d/e system, an almost regular permutation(ARP) interleaver has been included as a part of specification, however it seems that the interleaver is not optimized in terms of decoding performance. In this paper, we propose three optimization methods for the interleaver based on spatial distance, spread and minimum distance between original and interleaved sequence. We find optimized interleaving parameters for each optimization method and evaluate the performances of the proposed methods by computer simulation under additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel. Optimized parameters can provide up to 1.0 dB power gain over the conventional method and furthermore the obtainable gain does not require any additional hardware complexity.

Portable Internet extended from wireless LAN has a large cell size, similar to a wireless mobile communication, and can provides the seamless service which offers middle-low speed mobility. IEEE 802.16e, the international standard of Portable Internet, uses PKMv2(Privacy Key Management) protocol for authorization and key exchange between a MSS(Mobile Subscriber Station) and a BS(Base Station). This paper first reviews and studies overall security architecture of TTA HPi standard and IEEE 802.16e which supports mobility based on WMAN(Wireless Metropolitan Area Network) standard(IEEE 802.16)

IEEE 802.16e standard, a kind of WMAN standard, was established to support data services with cheaper cost to mobile users than traditional mobile communications system and wireless LAN system can do. In this paper, we propose an uplink QoS packet-scheduler for VoIP service which can be installed in IEEE 802.16 system and evaluate its performance with NS-2 network simulator. The proposed QoS packet-scheduler consists of three procedures: determining scheduler interval, determining the amount of resource assignment, and deciding which mobile station the base station should serve first among multiple mobile stations. According to numerical results, the proposed QoS packet-scheduler can provide more increased system capacity by 220% than UGS service scheme does and by 25 % than ertPS service scheme does.

In this paper, an I/Q channel 12bits 40MS/s Pipeline Analog to Digital Converter that is able to apply to WLAN/WMAN system is proposed. The proposed ADC integrates DLL based duty-correction circuit which corrects the fluctuations in the duksty cycle caused by miniaturization of CMOS devices and faster operating speeds. It is designed as a 1% to 99% input clock duty cycle could be corrected to 50% output duty cycle. The prototype ADC is implemented in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS n-well 1-poly 6-metal process and dissipates 184mW at 1.8V single supply The SNDR of the proposed 12bit ADC is 52dB and SFDR of 59dBc(@Fs=20MHz, Fin=1MHz) is measured.

The IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) standard is designed to correct expensive communication costs in CDMA-based mobile communication systems and limited coverage problems in wireless LAN systems. Thus, the IEEE 802.16e standard can provide mobile high-speed packet access between mobile stations and the Internet service provider through the base station with cheap communication fees. To efficiently accommodate voice over IP (VoIP) services in IEEE 802.16 systems, an uplink quality of service packet-scheduling scheme is proposed, and its performance is evaluated with an NS-2 network simulator in this paper. Numerical results show that this proposed scheme can increase the system capacity by 100% more than in the unsolicited rand service (UGS) scheme and 30% more than the extended real-time polling service (ertPS) scheme, respectively.

Nowadays, wireless packet data services are provided over Wireless MAN (WMAN) at a high data service rate, while 3G cellular networks provide wide-area coverage at a low data service rate. The integration of mobile WiMAX and 3G networks is essential, to serve users requiring both high-speed wireless access as well as wide-area connectivity. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization scheme for a vertical handover between mobile WiMAX and 3G cellular networks. More specifically, L2 (layer 2) and L3 (layer 3) signaling messages for a vertical handover are analyzed and reordered/combined, to optimize the handover procedure. Extensive simulations using ns-2 demonstrate that the proposed scheme enhances the performance of a vertical handover between mobile WiMAX and 3G networks: low handover latency, high TCP throughput, and low UDP packet loss ratio.

Different network provides different service. To maximize the profit, heterogeneous networks form a whole, which may either compete or cooperate with each other. In this paper, the healthcare monitor network architecture is introduced to build the competitive and cooperative mechanisms of heterogeneous networks which contain three networks, namely, cellular network, WLAN and WMAN. This paper considers the natural growth rate of the network with competitive and cooperative effects. Then, the stability of the proposed model and its equilibrium points are analyzed by the ordinary differential principle. Finally, simulation results show that the natural growth rate cannot increase the profit of the network, but effective cooperative among heterogeneous networks can increase the profit of each network, and competitive may decrease the profit of each network.
