This paper examines the resource gain that can be obtained from the creation of clusters of nodes in densely populated areas. A single node within each such cluster is designated as a "hotspot"; all other nodes then communicate with a destination node, such as a base station, through such hotspots. We propose a semi-distributed algorithm, referred to as coordinated cognitive tethering (CCT), which clusters all nodes and coordinates hotspots to tether over locally available white spaces. CCT performs the following these steps: (a) groups nodes based on a modified k-means clustering algorithm; (b) assigns white-space spectrum to each cluster based on a distributed graph-coloring approach to maximize spectrum reuse, and (c) allocates physical-layer resources to individual users based on local channel information. Unlike small cells (for example, femtocells and WiFi), this approach does not require any additions to existing infrastructure. In addition to providing parallel service to more users than conventional direct communication in cellular networks, simulation results show that CCT can increase the average battery life of devices by 30%, on average.

In this study, a multilevel visible light communication (VLC) system based on resistor ladder circuit is designed to transmit medical data. VLC technology is being considered as an alternative wireless communication due to various advantages such as ubiquity, license free operation, low energy consumption, and no radio frequency (RF) radiation characteristics. With VLC even in places where traditional RF communication (e.g., Wi-Fi) is forbidden, significant bio-medical signal including the electrocardiography (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) data can be transmitted. More lives could be saved anywhere by this potential advantage of VLC with a fast emergency response time. A multilevel transmission scheme is adopted to improve the data capacity with keeping simplicity, where data transmission rate can increase by log2m times (m is the number of voltage levels) than that of conventional VLC transmission based on on/off keying. In order to generate multi-amplitudes, resistor ladder circuit, which is a basic principle of digital to analog convertor, is employed, and information is transferred through LED (Light-Emitting Diode) with different voltage level. In the receiver side, multilevel signal is detected by optical receiver including a photo diode. Then, the collected data are analyzed to serve the necessary medical care to the concerned patient.

최근 다양한 네트워크의 융합(Convergence) 추세에 따라 기존 PSTN 서비스도 인터넷에서 VoIP 형태로 제공이 되고 있다. 하지만 VoIP 서비스는 인터넷망을 이용하므로 부여된 발신번호 정보를 송출하지 않아 발신자의 위치 및 해당지역의 공공구조기관(PSAP)의 식별이 불가능하여 긴급서비스 지원을 위한 위치정보 제공을 못하는 문제점이 제기되었다. 최근 측위기술의 활용이 다양해지고 요구수준이 높아짐에 따라 실내에서의 신호 차폐 문제점을 극복할 수 있고, 높은 위치정확도 등을 제공하는 WLAN와 RFID 기술을 이용한 측위기술 연구가 활발하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Wi-Fi, RFID, GPS를 이용한 측위기술을 사용하여 무선이동통신 환경에서 VoIP 긴급서비스를 지원하기 위한 모델 제안과 각 구성요소에 대한 기능, 세부적인 지원 절차를 설명하고, 위치정보의 획득 및 처리를 위한 운용 시나리오에 관한 구체적 방안과 제안모델을 적용하기 위한 고려사항에 대한 분석결과를 제시한다. 그 결과 제안된 모델은 무선이동통신의 긴급서비스 설계시 적용이 기대된다.

In the last decade, the 2.4 GHz band of IEEE 802.11 WLANs has become heavily congested due to the explosive increase in demand of Wi-Fi connectivity. With the current deployment of enterprise WLANs, channel switching mechanism continues to exhibit inefficiencies because it cannot adapt to real-time channel condition and the inability to support seamless channel switching. Software Defined Networking (SDN) as an emerging architecture is promising to introduce flexibility and programmability for wireless network management. Leveraging SDN to existing enterprise WLANs, channel switching method can be improved significantly. This paper presents a software-defined enterprise WLAN framework with a load aware automatic channel switching solution, which utilizes AP load and channel interference factor (CIF) to provide seamless channel switching. Two automatic channel switching algorithms named Single Switch (SS) and Double Switch (DS) are proposed to improve the overall user experience and the experience of users with highest traffic load respectively. Experiment results demonstrate that our solution can efficiently improve user experience in terms of jitter, transmission delay and network throughout when compared to the conventional channel switching mechanism.

In this article, we propose a new method for precise WLAN (Wireless Area Network) AP (Access Point) localization using GPS information measured in the smart phone. The idea is that the possible area of WLAN AP location, called AP_Area, is first determined by measuring GPS information and the received signal strength in the smart phones. As the number of measurements from the smart phones increases, the AP_Area are successively narrowed down to the actual AP location. We have performed the simulation to evaluate the proposed algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can detect the Wi-Fi AP localization within 5 m (probability over than 90%).

In this paper, we discuss the design of the Digital Down Converters for the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN receiver, which can be used for the customized receiver. The customized receiver can be used for special puropsed services which cannot be realized using the general custom chip. In the OFDM receiver, DDC receives the up sampled Inphase/Quadrature signal from the AD converter and process down sampling and filtering procedures using the Cascaded Intergrator Filter and FIR filters. We discuss the structure and design methodology of DDC's and analyze the simulation results.

The modern mobile devices are typically equipped with multiple network interfaces, e.g., 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, but the current implementation of TCP can support only a single path at the same time. The Multipath TCP (MPTCP) leverages the multipath feature and provides (i) robust connection by utilizing another interface if the current connection is lost and (ii) higher throughput than single path TCP by simultaneously leveraging multiple network paths. However, if the performance between the multiple paths are significantly diverse, the receiver may have to wait for packets from the slower path, causing reordering and buffering problems. To solve this problem, previous MPTCP schedulers mainly focused on predicting the latency of the path beforehand. Recent studies, however, have shown that the path latency varies by a large margin over time, thus the MPTCP scheduler may wrongly predict the path latency, causing performance degradation. In this paper, we propose a new MPTCP scheduler called, choose fastest subflow (CFS) scheduler to solve this problem. Rather than predicting the path latency, CFS utilizes the characteristics of these paths to reduce the overall flow completion time by redundantly sending the last part of the flow to both paths. We compare the performance through real testbed experiments that implements CFS. The experimental results on both synthetic packet generation and actual Web page requests, show that CFS consistently outperforms the previous proposals in all cases.

The Integration technique of combining the measurement method with the fine precision of the sensor collecting the satellite-based information to determine the displacement space is available to a variety of diagnostic information. The measurement method by a GNSS with the sensors is needed since there will always be occasional occurrence of natural disasters caused by various environmental factors and the surroundings. Such attempts carried out nationally by distributed torsional displacement of the terrain and facilities. The combination of the various positioning analysis of mm-class for the facility of main area observed is required constantly in real time information of the USN/IoT Smart sensors and should be able to utilize such information as a precisely fine positioning information for the precisely fine displacement of the semi-permanent main facilities. In this study, for the installation of the receiving system, the USN/IoT base line positioning are easily accessible for the target bridges. Transmitting hourly from the received data is also executed in real time using the wireless Wi-Fi/Bluetooth bridges and related facilities to automatically process a fine position displacement. The results obtained from this method can be analyzed by real-time monitoring for a large structure or facilities for disaster prevention.
