다중 네트워크 인터페이스 단말과 멀티 네트워크 환경간의 통신을 위한 네트워크 구조에 관한 기존 연구는 GLL, A-MAC처럼 멀티네트워크 자원관리에 초점을 둔 프로토콜 연구가 대부분이며 이 프로토콜들은 2.5 계층, 즉, 네트워크 계층과 데이터 링크 계층 사이에 위치하여 응용을 위해서 다중 인터페이스 중 하나의 인터페이스를 선택할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 따라서 기존 연구에 초점은 기존 통신 프로토콜 및 인터넷 구조의 변화를 최소화 할 수 있으나 단말내의 응용이 다중 네트워크 인터페이스를 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 기술은 아니다. 본 연구에서는 기존 통신 프로토콜 및 인터넷 구조에서 단말이 다중 네트워크 인터페이스 사용 시 발생하는 계층별 문제점 및 IETF MIF WG 표준화 동향을 분석한다. 특히 응용 계층이 멀티 네트워크 인터페이스 기반의 멀티 연결을 지원하지 못하는 문제점, 전송 계층에서의 다중 연결 시 발생하는 문제점, 네트워크 계층에서 다중 인터페이스별로 할당된 IP 주소에 대한 처리문제, 다중 인터페이스 라우팅 문제, Split DNS 문제, 응용별 서비스 요구에 적응적인 인터페이스 선택 방법에 관한 문제를 정의하고 이를 해결하기 위한 연구 방향을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose the battery life time extension method in the multi-interface terminal by using the state information in an optical wireless integrated network architecture. When the bottlenecks occurs in the network, the terminal receives data packets via multipath. However, the battery life time is rapidly reduced because the power consumption of the terminal is bigger than single interface. For reducing the power consumption in the multi-interface terminal, the Optical Line Terminal (OLT) confirms whether the bottleneck phenomenon is occurred or not. And the network state information is transmitted to the terminal. The terminal turns one of the interfaces off to reduce the power consumption. In order to estimate the performance, we compare the power consumption between single and dual interfaces.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technology is an automatic identification method using radio frequencies between RFID reader which collects the informatin and tag which transmits the information. RFID technology develops passive RFID which transmit the only ID to active RFID which transmit the additional information such as sensing information. there is ISO/IEC 18000-7 as typical standard of active RFID. it is single channel system of 433.92MHz and has limitation of collection of a number of tags. to overcome limitation of collection of many tags, we propose the new 2.4GHz active RFID technology which can use the multi-channel. if reader has multi-interface and uses another channel in each, reader could fast collect the tags. but, if a reader which has many interfaces collects tags through the specific interface, the performance may not improve any more comparing with a reader using single interface. in this paper, we show the fast collection through design and implementation of protocol for load balancing between interfaces in multi-interface RFID reader.

We propose the control channel access scheme for multi-interface multi-hop cognitive radio (CR) environment having a cluster structure. Due to the difficulty of obtaining common channels across the entire CR network, most multi-interface multi-hop CR networks put the control channel outside the CR bandwidth and dedicate one network interface to it in order to exchange the control information such as the activation of licensed users. However, this will be the waste of the network interface. Our focus is how to alternate between the control and the data channel without multichannel hidden node problem under the cluster structure where CR nodes connect with neighbors through multiple data channels. By using simulation, we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme achieves higher network throughput than the dedicated scheme where one network interface card should dedicate to the control channel and cannot be used for data transmission.

When reader collect tags, we found that they tend to get together to specific interface in Multi-Interface Multi-Channel 2.4GHz Active RFID system. To solve this problem, we designed the LP-Combind and AP-Balanced protocol for load distribution between interfaces, then verified its superiority of the performance through the simulation. There are three problems to implement designed protocols in hardware of firmware-level. first, tag selects randomly the channel of reader and reader need the method which can change the channel of tags. second, reader has the synchronization problem between reader and tag. third, reader has problem that MCU of reader have to operate simultaneously dual interface. To slove this problems, we designed the message and implemented method for tag channel change and the protocol in order to adjust synchronization between reader and tag, Therefore, we compared and analyzed the performance of protocols by experiment. If LP windows size is same, the performance of LP-Combined protocol and AP-Balanced protocol which lower collision probability by its load distribution is more outstanding than single interface protocol performance.

Any user in Ubiquitous environments have to be able to access networks in anywhere and anytime. Thus interests and researches are increasing. In this paper, we propose an interface selection scheme that adaptively utilizes a proper interface, as the wireless channel condition changes, instead of utilizing only one interface while the node is in move. The proposed scheme can determine which interface would be the most proper one by measuring data rate, packet error rate (PER), and end-to-end delay of each interface. From the simulation results, it is verified that the proposed scheme is able to enhance packet transmission about 20% better.

무선 메쉬 네트워크(Wireless Mesh Network, WMN)는 유비쿼터스 환경 및 무선 브로드 밴드 액세스를 제공하기 위한 차세대 핵심기술로 떠오르고 있다. 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스가 존재하는 유비쿼터스 환경에서 실시간 서비스 제공을 위해서는 네트워크 용량 증대가 요구되며, 이를 위하여 WMN에서 네트워크 용량을 증대시키기 위한 다중 인터페이스 활용 기술이 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 하지만 WMN에서 주로 사용하는 인터페이스 기술인 IEEE 802.11 표준에서는 IEEE 802.11b/g 또는 IEEE 802.11a와 같은 스펙에 따라 간섭 없이 사용할 수 있는 채널은 3개 또는 12개로 한정되어 있기 때문에 다중 인터페이스 활용을 통해 증대된 가용 자원 효율성을 극대화하기 위해서 효율적인 채널 할당 기법의 연구가 요구되며, 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 채널 그룹 설정을 통하여 간섭 발생을 최소화하며 채널스캐닝 과정을 수행하지 않고 채널 변경을 진행함으로써 채널 스캐닝 과정으로 발생하는 전송 지연을 최소화하여 네트워크 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 채널 할당 기법을 제안한다.

WLAN, WiBro, cdma2000, HSDPA 와 같은 여러 이기종 무선 네트워크 서비스가 늘어나고 무선서비스를 사용하기 위한 사용자의 선택의 폭도 점점 늘어남에 따라 여러 이기종 무선인터페이스를 동시에 사용하고자 하는 Multiple Care-of Address 방안이 IETF MONAMI6 WG 에서 제안되었다. 이를 통해 단말은 사용 가능한 인터페이스를 사용하여 동시에 여러 인터페이스에 접속이 가능하다. 그러나 현재의 방안은 이기종 인터페이스가 아닌 단일 인터페이스의 동시 사용만을 고려하고 있어 각 이기종 인터페이스의 특성에 따른 선택적인 인터페이스 활용방안이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인터페이스의 특성에 따른 사용자의 preference 를 고려한 다중 인터페이스 선택방안을 제안한다.

In multi-hop ad hoc networks, multi-interface multi-channel architecture is being noticing as methodology to improve the effective bandwidth and end-to-end throughput, But since existing routing metrics designed for networks based on single-interface exactly can not reflects the nature of networks based on multi-interface multi-channel, we are not expected the effect of throughput improvement. there had been proposal of MCR that discover high throughput by using metrics such as channel diversity and interface switching cost. however, MCR have an problem that is degraded it's performance in congested networks, because it not reflects the impact of traffic load. in this paper, we propose MAMCR metric, which select high throughput paths under congested conditions by combination MCR with channel access time metric, and conform it's the effect of performance improvement by ns-2 simulation.

The ISO 18000-7 Active RFID standard, a single channel system operating in the 433Mhz, faces technical difficulties in supporting some recently introduced application demands because of its low transmission rates and radio interference between readers. We propose a new multi-channel active RFID system operating in the 2.4Ghz. The special feature of the proposed system is that a reader makes use of multiple interfaces to improve its performance like a multi-core processor. However if only a small part of interfaces are actually used, the performance improvement would not meet the expectation. To overcome this problem, a new multi-channel multi-interface active RFID protocol, which balances communication loads among all available interfaces, is necessary. 3 protocols, named as "Aggregated", "LP-Combined", "AP-Balanced", are proposed. Through simulation, we compare them for various conditions by changing number of tags, number of interfaces, tag data size. AP-Balanced shows the best performance and its performance increases almost linearly as the number of interface increases, which meets our expectation.
