Abstract

The next generation communication environment consists of various wireless access networks with distinct features that are configured as an overlay topology. In the network environments, the frequency of hand overs should be minimized and the error propagation should be solved in order to provide high-quality multimedia services to mobile users. Therefore, we propose an performance enhancement approach, based on mSCTP, that provides high quality multimedia services to mobile users by ameliorating the error propagation problem. We utilizes the following four functions: 1) the separation of transmission paths according to the types of frames. 2) retransmission strategy to minimize the loss rate of frames, 3) Foced vertical handover execution by utilizing bicasting, 4) using the stability period in order to reduce the effect of the ping pong phenomenon. The simulation results show that the proposed approach provides seamless multimedia service to mobile users by achieving error resilience.

차세대 네트워크는 다양한 특성을 가진 무선 액세스 네트워크들로 구성되는 오버레이 네트워크 형태로 구성된다. 이와 같은 네트워크 환경에서 이동 사용자에게 멀티미디어 서비스를 고품질로 제공하기 위해서는 핸드오버 횟수를 최소화하고 오류전파문제를 해결해야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 mSCTP (mobile Stream Control Transmission Protocol)을 기반으로 오류전파문제를 개선함으로써 오버레이 네트워크 환경에서 종단 간 수직 핸드오버 시 이동 사용자에게 고품질의 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하는 방안을 제안한다. 제안하는 방안은 다음 4가지 기능을 이용한다. (1) 멀티미디어 프레임의 전송 경로를 프레임 유형별로 분리, (2) 멀티미디어 프레임 손실률을 최소화하는 재전송 정책, (3) 바이캐스팅 (bicasting)을 통한 Forced 수직 핸드오버 수행, (4) 핑퐁 현상이 성능에 미치는 영향을 줄이기 위한 안정기간 사용, 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 방안은 오류복원력을 달성함으로써 이동 사용자에게 고품질의 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공함을 알 수 있었다.
