Although a substantial amount of studies have been carried out in order to improve the performance of IEEE 802.11, most of them focused on how to slowly decrease the Contention Window size, instead of resetting it to its initial value. Slow decreasing of the window size reduces the collision probability and increases the channel throughput. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve good results in a heterogeneous network which coexists with the original DCF. For instance, a Gentle DCF(GDCF) has good performance in a homogeneous environment, while it can hardly transmit frames in a heterogeneous environment including the original DCF. It is because the slow decreasing of the window size reduces the transmission probability. In this paper, we propose a Fast Recovery DCF(FRDCF) to solve this problem. In the FRDCF, the reset mechanism of the original DCF is maintained to keep the transmission probability high, while a new counter is used to enhance the performance of the wireless LAN. We prove that, compared with the GDCF, the FRDCF has better performance in a heterogeneous wireless LAN.

In this paper, we propose a Clustering-based Cooperative Routing using OFDM (CCRO) for supporting transmission efficiency in mobile wireless sensor networks. The main features and contributions of the proposed method are as follows. First, the clustering method which uses the location information of nodes as underlying infrastructure for supporting stable transmission services efficiently is used. Second, cluster-based cooperative data transmission method is used for improving data transmission and reliability services. Third, OFDM based data transmission method is used for improving data transmission ratio with channel efficiency. Fourth, we consider realistic approach in the view points of the mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks while conventional methods just consider fixed sensor network environments. The performance evaluation of the proposed method is performed via simulation using OPNET and theoretical analysis. The results of performance evaluation show improvement of transmission efficiency.

This paper analyzes the interference effect of WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) service on WiBro(Wireless Broadband) service in adjacent frequency band by using Monte Carlo method. For the analysis, we make scenario that WLAN service operates on frequency band of 2401 MHz ~ 2423 MHz and WiBro service operates on frequency band of 698 MHz ~ 704 MHz. In case of WiBro receiver is close to WLAN AP(Access Point), the interference will be increased. So, we calculate the protection distance between WiBro receiver and WLAN AP to meet interference probability of 5 % below and required interference power of WLAN AP to meet interference probability of 5 % below in the case of fixed protection distance. As a result, the protection distance of 60 m and -9.5 dBm of required interference power of WLAN AP at 10 m of the fixed protection distance are analyzed.

There are lots of vulnerability and chance to be attacked in wireless sensor networks, which has many applications. Among those attacks, sybil attack is to generate a lot of false node and to inject false information into networks. When a user uses such false information without recognizing the attack, there might be a disaster. Although authentication method can be used to protect such attack, the method is not a good choice in wireless sensor networks, where sensor nodes have a limited battery and low power. In this paper, we propose a novel method to detect sybil attack with a little extra overhead. The proposed method use the characteristics that there is a weak connection between a group of normal nodes and a group of false nodes. In addition, the method uses energy aware routing based on random routing and adds a little information into the routing. Experimental results show that the proposed method detects false node by more than 90% probability with a little energy overhead.

The realization of a monitoring system for senior citizens living alone through wireless sensor network. Due to the recent advances in medical science, people live longer than ever before which accelerates the number of senior citizens. The high rate of the old people in population causes some changes in the form of families, which results in the increasing number of old people living by themselves. This also causes a lot of social problems concerning aging population. For example, people found a dead body of 83-year-old, who had lived alone, after he passed away a month before. There is a national monitoring service for the old people of their daily lives, but the application of such system is very limited. Considering this, the current paper focuses on the realization of a monitoring system for senior citizens living alone through wireless sensor network. The system consists of ZigBee sensor network, which is based on standard IEEE 802.15.4. and the system uses Tmote Sky sensor mote made by Moteive, which is installed with TinyOS. The circumstances information data will be saved on DB and a household will be monitored through a Webpage or Mobile.

With the rapid development of Internet and communication network technology, various studies had proceeded to develop the technology of wireless sensor networks. Authentication schemes for user and sensor are critical and important security issue to use wireless sensors legally. First, Das introduce a user authentication scheme using smart card and password for wireless sensor networks, various studies had proceeded. Chem et al. suggested a secure user authentication scheme against smart card loss attack but Chen et al. scheme does not still resolve some security vulnerability such as perfect forward secrecy, session key exposure by gateway node, anonymity, and the password check. To resolve the problems, this paper proposes a security enhanced user authentication using the fuzzy extraction, elliptic curves cryptography and dynamic ID and analyzes the security.

이동 분산 환경에서는 무선 데이타 전송 기법을 통하여 사용자들에게 다양한 정보들을 전달하게 된다. 본 논문은 균등 무선 데이타 방송 환경에서, 빠른 시간에 방송데이타를 접근할 수 있는 방법에 대하여 기술한다. 이를 위하여 무선 방송 데이타의 스케쥴링 문제를 정의하고, 어떤 질의가 접근하는 데이타들의 응집 정도를 나타내는 `질의 거리(Query Distance: QD)'라는 측정 기준을 제시한다. 제안한 질의 거리를 사용하여 각 질의의 우선 순위에 따라 해당 질의가 접근하는 데이타 집합을 방송 스케쥴에 추가하면서 스케쥴을 구성하는 데이타 스케쥴링 기법을 제시한다. 데이타 집합의 스케쥴 구성 과정에서 우선 순위가 높은 질의의 질의 거리를 최소화하면서 낮은 우선 순위 질의들의 질의 거리를 줄이는 스케쥴 확장 규칙들을 사용한다. 예를 이용하여 제안하는 방법에 대하여 설명한 후, 실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가한다.Abstract In mobile distributed systems the data on the air can be accessed by a lot of clients. This paper describes the way clients access the broadcast data in short latency in uniform wireless broadcasting environment. We define the problem of wireless data scheduling and propose a measure, named Query Distance(QD), which represents the coherence degree of data set accessed by a query. By using the measure, we give a data scheduling method that constructs the broadcast schedule by appending each query's data set in greedy way. When constructing the schedule, we use schedule expansion rules that reduce the QD's of lower-frequency queries while minimizing the QD's of the higher-frequency ones. With the use of examples we illustrate the mechanism of the proposed method and we test the performance of our method.

Random process plays a major role in wireless communication system to analytically derive the probability distribution function of the various statistical distribution. In this paper, we derive the decreasing function of the exponential distribution under the given condition which is expressed as wireless channel condition. The probability distribution function of Gaussian, Laplacian, Rayleigh and Nakagami distribution are also derived. Extensive simulation results of these statistical distributions are provided to prove that random process has a significant role in the wireless communications. In addition, the Rayleigh and Rician channels show specific examples of visible distance communication and invisible distance channel environment. This paper is motivated by that we assume a block fading channel model, where the channel is constant during a transmission block and changes independently between consecutive transmission block, can achieve a better performance in high SNR regime with i.i.d channel. This algorithm for realizing these transforms can be applied to the Kronecker MIMO channel.

As the IoT industry expands, various application services based on location information of devices are released. In order to transmit the location information, various wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are used. However, these technologies have limited coverage, and cellular networks with relatively wide coverage have the disadvantage of paying for use. In this paper, we implemented our own location information system using LoRa, a low power long distance wireless communication technology. As a result, no cost is incurred and it has relatively wider coverage than other wireless communication technologies using LoRa technology. The implementation system enables LoRa communication based on IPv6 using CoAP and 6LoWPAN, and enables multiple devices to interwork with the existing Internet environment.
