과거 사무실과 같은 실내 환경에서 무선을 이용하여 네트워크 접속을 위해 개발된 무선랜 기술이 최근 실외 공중망 서비스와 연계되며 미국을 비롯하여 유럽 등지에서 신규 통신서비스 개발이 활발히 사용되고 있다. 이러한 이동환경에 적합한 선불과금 방안은 선불제 요금제도의 필요성이 대두되면서 중요한 연구과제가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선랜 이동환경에 적합한 선불과금 모델을 제안하고 검증한다. 제안된 과금 모델은 차세대 이동통신의 이동환경에서 적용이 가능한 인터넷 IP 과금 방안을 연구하는데 기반 기술로 이용될 것이다.

The purpose of this research is to study technical and policy improvements of carrier billing services, which are a developing and growing industry, by adopting a meta-analysis method. Implications were derived from studying 15 years-worth of academic research papers (from 2001 to 2015), by analyzing the trends over a total of 109 such research papers on carrier billing services. First, looking at the characteristics of the main studies of the papers from 2008 to 2009, it papers appeared that dealt with preventing fraudulent transactions and preserving consumer protection. Privacy, policy proposals and studies for new systems were researched from 2010-2012. Service, success factors, damage prevention systems research, law, and institutions were discussed in 2013-2015 mainly. Second, the research showed that the number of carrier billing service studies increased due to social issues(telecommunications billing services deregulation, the emergence smartphones, fraud). Third, in sectorial research results, technology was the focus area of 47 papers (43.1%), the service sector was the focus of 39 pieces (35.8%) and law and policy improvement accounted for 23 pieces (21.1%). The study of technology and service areas was the most active and according to changes in the environment, law and policy improvement were second to most active. This study will contribute to improving relevant institutions and research directions about study trends in carrier billing services.

This paper studios billing mechanisms of value-added telephone services In Korea and major foreign countries. The billing methods of toll-free phone service, voice Information service, one number service, personal number service and calling card service ate compared with each other. The results show that several differences are identified among service providers due to the difference of the regulation, numbering mechanism and underlying networks employed. This paper also provides implications and suggestions to incumbent Korean value-added service providers and regulators

In this study, file size for measurement and the service system's billing data were submitted to a comparative analysis by performing a verification test on the billing system of three major mobile communication services providers, based on the wireless Internet service packet. As shown in the result of the verification test, there were some differences in the billing data due to transmission overhead, according to the network quality that is affected by the wireless environment of mobile operators. Consequently, the packet analysis system was proposed as a means of applying consistent packet billing to all service providers being compared. If the packet analysis system is added to supplement the current billing system various user requirements can be met. Billing by Packet among mobile operators and differentiated billing based on the content value are available, since the packet data can be extracted through protocol analysis by service, and it can be classified by content tape through traffic data analysis. Furthermore, customer's needs can be satisfied who request more information on the detailed usage, and more flexible and diverse billing policies can be supported like application of charging conditions to the non-charging packet handling. All these services are expected to contribute to the popularization of the wireless Internet service, since user complaints about the service charge could be reduced.

A battle royale game is a multiplayer video game genre that blends the survival and exploration with last-man-standing gameplay. The genre has been hot in recent years and the 'Player Unknown's Battleground' produced by Korean enterprise PUBG had been the hottest during 2017 and the first half of 2018. However, a similar battle royale game 'Fortnite' became the game of the year in 2018 and the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the predominance only in Korea and China. In this paper, we investigate the game structure of those two games on combat, survival, farming and charging elements, We also conduct a user survey on what might be the weak point of the Player Unknown's Battleground and why they choose Fornite among users played both but currently play Fortnite. The result shows that the Player Unknown's Battleground sustains the advantage on battle elements but creative charging policy and the efficient survival elements are the reasons of choosing Fortnite between the two.

Due to the development of mobile technologies, the carrier (telecommunications) billing service market is rapidly growing. carrier (telecommunications) billing service allows users to make on-line purchases through mobile-billing. Users find this particularly convenient because the payment acts as a credit transaction. Furthermore, the system is commonly believed to be secure through its use of SMS (Short Message Service) authentication and a real-time transaction history to confirm the transaction. Unfortunately, there is a growing number of fraudulent transactions threaten the future of this system. The more well documented types of security breaches involves hackers intercepting the authentication process. By contaminating the device with security breaching applications, hackers can secretly make transactions without notifying users until the end of month phone bill. This study sheds light on the importance of this societal threat and suggests solutions. In particular, "secure" systems need to be more proactive in addressing the methods hackers use to make fraudulent transactions. Our research partially covers specific methods to prevent fraudulent transactions on carrier billing service providers' systems. We discuss about the proposed improvements such as complement of electronic payment systems, active promotion for fraudulent transactions enhanced monitoring, fraud detection and introduce a new authentication service. This research supports a future of secure communications billing services, which is essential to expanding new markets.

현재 한국전력공사에서 전기를 제공하는데 투입된 고정비용을 회수하기 위해 기본요금 제도를 도입하고 있다. 현재 사용되고 있는 요금제도는 계약전력에 맞게 과금을 하고 계약전력을 초과해서 사용하게 되면 초과사용량에 대한 초과요금을 과금하고 있다. 전력비용을 적게 내기 위해 계약전력을 사실대로 보고하지 않는 경우가 발생할 수 있고 이를 해결하기 위한 기본요금 및 초과요금을 산정하는 방법에 대해 제안하고자 한다. 게임이론에서 널리 사용하고 있는 한 방법인 VCG(Vickrey-Clarke-Groves) 방법론을 기본요금 및 초과요금을 산정하는 데에 적용을 하여 거짓이 석이지 않은 진실한 계약전력의 보고가 전력소비자에게 가장 이상적인 방법임을 보인다.

This study explores reasonable alternatives to internet interconnection policy. Due to the development of information and communication technology, patterns of the Internet usage are changing rapidly, including increase of video streaming services. For this reason, there is a lively discussion of the Internet interconnection policy, which integrates various Internet service operators into one ecosystem. We conducted an Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) analysis with 16 experts in government/public, and academic sectors, and alternative selection criteria and their corresponding alternatives and detailed tasks were evaluated. According to the results, the most important alternative selection criteria was a "fair charge against foreign service operators", and the most desirable alternative was "partial revise". Moreover, the experts responded that "reassessment of the principle of the charge" is the most urgent task to improve the Internet interconnection policy.

3세대 이동통신 망에서는 릴레이 노드를 이용한 셀룰러 망과 애드혹 망의 통합을 통해 셀의 용량 및 셀 커버리지의 증가와 인접 셀 간의 부하 밸런싱 효과를 제공할 수 있다. 이러한 이종 무선 통합 망 환경에서 QoS를 제공하기 위해서는 이종 망 간에 데이터 전송 시 서로 다른 망 간의 네트워크 용량을 고려하여 데이터 릴레이 및 QoS 레벨을 일치시켜 줄 수 있는 릴레이 노드의 중계 역할이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 과금 서비스에 기반한 보상금과 수익금 제도를 통하여 애드혹 노드와 셀 기지국 간의 데이터 릴레이 기능 및 QoS를 제공하는 협상 에이전트 기법을 제안하며 ns-2 기반 UMTS/WLAN 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 성능을 분석한다.

통신기술의 발달에 따라 기존의 통신망은 TP 기반의 NGN 구조로 통합이 추진되고 있으며, 서비스 형태도 음성주도형 서비스에서 음성과 데이터가 혼합된 멀티미디어형 서비스로 전환되는 추세이다. 또한 기존 PSTN 서비스를 인터넷기반으로 대체하는 인터넷전화 서비스가 출현하게 되었다. 인터넷전화 서비스는 VoIP 관련 번호 제도가 체계적으로 도입되고 사업자 역무가 구체화될 경우 본격적인 활성화 단계에 진입할 것으로 예상된다. 기업측면에서는 통신 요금을 절감하고 음성과 데이터를 통합하여 사용할 수 있는 사설망 구축을 적극적으로 도입하거나 활용을 검토하고 있는 추세이며 개인 고객들도 향후 IP 기반의 유무선 인터넷전화 서비스를 많이 활용하게 될 것이다. 결국 ITSP와 사설기업망이 많이 생겨나게 되고, 이러한 환경에서는 ITSP(Internet Telephony Service Provider)와 사설 기업망 가입자들은 모든 타사업자 (ITSP, 무선통신사업자. PSTN 사업자, 사설 기업망 등)들간 통신을 위하여 협약을 체결하고, 호 라우팅을 위한 정보를 유지하고 과금 정산 기능을 지원하여야 하는 문제점이 있다. 이를 위한 방안으로서 사업자간 정산 시스템을 중심으로 ITSP와 사설기업망 가입자를 연동하도록 구성할 수 있다. 프로토콜로서는 ETSI 표준 프로토콜 OSP을 사용하도록 한다. 본 고에서는 사업자간 정산 시스템(OSPs : OSP 서버)을 통한 ITSP와 사설 VoIP 망들간의 호 서비스 연동 방안을 제시하였다.
