In this paper, we implement the eXclusive OR-based Cast (XC) system that is a video streaming system using exclusive OR operations, and measure various performance metrics in wireless local area network (WLAN) environments. In addition, we investigate the performance improvement of the XC system considering various practical video streaming environments, while conventional studies analyzed the performance of XC through computer simulations in limited environments. To this end, we propose new control messages such as STR_REQ_MSG (SRM) that clients transmit to a video streaming server and STR_CON_MSG (SCM) that is used for the video streaming server to control the clients, and develop a new protocol by using the new control messages. According to the various measurement results using the implemented XC system, XC video streaming system can reduce the consumption of network bandwidth by 8.6% on average and up to 25% compared to the conventional video streaming system. In addition, the outage probability can be also reduced up to 76%.

Enterprises as well as central and local governments have tried to apply ubiquitous technology to the actual life on the various types of business and projects. In this paper we develop strategic plan to provide public service on public areas based on needs analysis of public services as well as trend analysis of ubiquitous and web technology. Ubiquitous service model should be based on geospatial web which can incorporate participation and collaboration concepts, as the wire/wireless network system develop rapidly. To achieve this purpose, we suggest the following projects; 1), construction of internet map based on geospatial web technology, 2), development of web contents based on geospatial web, 3), installing ubiquitous equipment, and 4), upgrade Seoul Metropolitan Government's homepage and internet system which can incorporate web 2.0 concepts. Ubiquitous service model should be based on not only development of ubiquitous technology but also needs of consumer such as citizen, enterprises, and public sectors which have an interest in that place. Geospatial web will be the core of development of ubiquitous service models.

This paper suggests the energy-efficient message delivery scheme and the software platform which exploits the multiple network interfaces of the mobile terminals and GPS in the current mobile devices. The mobile terminals determine the delivery method among 'direct', 'indirect', and 'WAN' based on the position information of itself and other terminals. 'Direct' method sends a message directly to the target terminal using local RAT. 'Indirect' method extends the service area by exploiting intermediate terminals as relay node. If the target terminal is too far to reach through 'direct' or 'indirect' method, the message is sent using wireless WAN technology. Our proposed scheme exploits the position information and, thus, power consumption is drastically reduced in determining handover time and direction. Network simulation results show that our proposed delivery scheme improves the message transfer efficiency and the handover detection latency. We implemented a message platform in a smart phone realizing the proposed delivery scheme. We compared our platform with other typical message platforms from energy efficiency aspect by observing the real power consumption and applying the mathematical modeling. The comparison results show that our platform requires significantly less power.

In this paper, we investigate the cause of throughput degradation on the wireless local area network(WLAN) and the reason of interference level change attributed to the spanned frequency in the presence of electromagnetic interference. We also measured and quantified the electric field strength of interference which yields the abrupt change of the throughput. Two units of WLAN and one unit of AP(Access Point) are configured to maintain the radio link. As the sources of interference, both the co-channel and adjacent-channel interference are considered and the critical values of electric field are provided for each case. Our experimental observations show that the signal strength generated from these interference sources is at most less than 54 dBuV/m @3 m in order to coexist between WLANs and other low power radio devices without any noticeable throughput decreases. Based on our empirical results, as far as 802.11b WLAN is concerned, we believe that the current domestic limit of the signal strength for an extremely low power radio device, 30.9 dBuV/m @3 m, can be increased as much as 23.1 dB.

This paper proposes a new three-line balun. The equivalent circuit of the proposed three-line balun is presented, and impedance matrix［Z］of the equivalent circuit is derived from the relationship between the current and voltage at each port. The design equation for a given set of balun impedance at input and output ports is presented using［S］parameters, which is transferred fom impedance matrix,［Z］. To demonstrate the feasibility and validity of design equation, multi-layer ceramic(MLC) chip balun operated in the 2.4 GHz ISM band frequency is designed and fabricated by the use of the low temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) technology. By employing both the proposed new three-line balun equivalent circuit and multi-layer configuration provided by LTCC technology, the 2012 size MLC balun is realized. Measured results of the multi-layer LTCC three-line balun match well with the full-wave electromagnetic simulation results, and measured in band-phase and amplitude balances over a wide bandwidth are excellent. This proposed balun is very easily applicable to multi-layer structure using LTCC as shown in the paper, and also can be realized with microstrip lines on PCB. This distinctive performance is very favorable for wireless communication systems such as wireless LAN(Local Area Network) and Bluetooth applications.

In this paper, an efficient Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) packet transmission scheme for railroad communication is proposed. WAVE communication is a wireless local area network (WLAN) based communication and it is developed to be suitable for vehicular communication. There has been a lot of study on WAVE's applicability to Intelligent Transport System (ITS). As one of main transportation methods, by using WAVE, quality of railroad communication including WLAN based Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) can be enhanced and variety of railroad communication systems can be integrated into WAVE. However, there are technical challenges to adopt WAVE in railroad communications. For the simplest single-PHY WAVE, time division alternation of 50ms between Control Channel (CCH) and Service Channel (SCH) is required. Since there are delay sensitive railroad traffic types, alternation operation of CCH and SCH may cause performance degradation. In this paper, after identifying a couple of problems based on detailed analysis, a novel packet transmission scheme under railroad environment is proposed. In order to verify if the proposed scheme meets the requirement of railroad communication, WAVE transmission is mathematically modeled.

We implemented a dual-band slot-coupled patch (SCP) antenna for the external access point (AP) of the wireless local area network (WLAN) band. The antennas consist of two radiators on three layers. The first radiator is a slotted bow tie antenna operating at the 2.4-2.483 GHz band. The second radiator is a patch antenna with parasitic elements operating at 4.095-5.845 GHz. The high gain and broad bandwidth is important element of wireless access. To enhance the bandwidth, a coupled feeding was used in the first radiator and a parasitic patch was used in the second radiator. We used a parasitic patch and chock to improve the directivity and isolation in both radiators. The porposed antenna was designed by EM simulation tool and measured. The S11 of the antenna was less than -11dB (VSWR 1.8:1) at operating frequency. The peak gain was more than 6 dBi in the first antenna and more than 8 dBi in the second antenna.

Todays, the rapid technical progress of smart device has been used for various social (wall-fare) services in our lives. Especially, most of these services are based on the Local-based Services (LBS) and this technology is getting popular more and more compared with before. Basically, LBS is able to support various types of geographical services such as vehicles' navigation services, Augmented reality services as using extensional local information such as GPS. However, LBS has serious mathematical vulnerability on the services frequently because of its miscalculated GPS data under interior and ambiguous geographical environment such like shadowed area. So, to overcome this limitation, iBeacon, which would be able to mitigate LBS miscalculation process, has been proposed recently among network experts. Compared with other wireless technologies, iBeacon is able to determine the accurate geographical data of certain local positions easily because it is not only designed based on low-powered data transmitting technology, but also, it can be much easy to be deployed. As users' dependency of smart devices are getting higher and higher and the use of smart device is also getting complex more and more, the users prefer to use various types of smart devices at one time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the loss prevention system that is able to interwork smart devices networks as using iBeacon technology for users' better conveniences.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers and, thus, a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) can occur when the subcarriers are added coherently. The high PAR brings such disadvantages as an increased complexity of the analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converters and a reduced efficiency of the radio frequency (RF) power amplifier. In this paper, we propose a novel PAR reduction scheme called selective mapping of partial tones (SMOPT). The SMOPT scheme has a reduced complexity, lower sensitivity to peak reduction tones (PRT) positions, and a shorter processing time as compared with the conventional tone reservation (TR) scheme. The performance of the SMOPT scheme is analyzed based on the IEEE 802.1la wireless local area network(WLAM) physical layer model. Numerical results show that the SMOPT scheme outperforms the TR scheme under various scenarios.

Band-notched ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas using frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) are presented. The proposed antennas utilized the band rejection characteristic of typical FSS unit cells. We loaded the FSS unit cells on the same plane of planar UWB antenna. These antennas are designed to reject the interference from the wireless local area network band, 5.15-5.825 GHz in the UWB band, 3.1-10.6 GHz. The measured peak gains of the proposed antennas are more than 2 dBi at both operation edge and center frequencies, and sufficient to apply for commercial purpose. The antennas are small size and planar shape for the purpose of the small mobile application, and enhanced design freedom by using various existing FSS unit cells.
