碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 網路工程研究所 === 101 === As wireless technology is continuously growing and many different kinds of applications are running on the unlicensed bands, wireless resource is becoming scarce. After Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opens up lightly-used TV spectrum, many researchers have started to study the usages of licensed bands. The ECMA standard body has released the ECMA-392 standard that can be applied to home electronics equipment, internet access, and high speed video streaming. In addition to ECMA-392, the IEEE standard body has released IEEE 802.11af and IEEE 802.22 standards. All of these standards operate on the TV white space. In this thesis, we use the EstiNet network simulator to implement ECMA-392 specification, and validate the correctness of the procedures defined at the MAC layer and PHY layer of ECMA-392. Before the ECMA-392 TV white space devices are available for experiments, researchers of ECMA-392 can use the developed tool to simulate different types of network topology and optimize ECMA-392 performances.
