In recent years, there have been many researches about Ad-hoc Networks which is available to communicate freely between mobile devices by using multi-hop without any support of relay base or access point. TCP that used the most widely transport protocol in the Internet repeats packet loss and retransmission because it increases congestion window size by using reactive congestion control until packet loss occurs. As a result of this, energy of mobile device is wasted unnecessarily. In this paper, we propose TCP-New Veno in order to improve the energy efficiency of mobile device. According to the state of network, the scheme adjusts appropriate size of congestion window. Therefore, the energy efficiency of mobile device and utilization of bandwidth are improved by the scheme. From the simulation by using ns-2, we could see more improved energy efficiency with TCP-New Veno than those with TCP in Ad-hoc Networks.

With rapid development of Internet technology, business management in an organization or an enterprise depends on Internet-based technology for the most part. Furthermore, as dependency and cohesiveness of network in the communication facilities are increasing, cyber attacks have been increased against vulnerable resource in the information system. Hence, to protect private information and computer resource, research for damage propagation is required in this situation. However the proposed traditional models present just mechanism for risk management, or are able to be applied to the specified threats such as virus or worm. Therefore, we propose the probabilistic model of damage propagation based on the Markov process, which can be applied to diverse threats in the information systems. Using the proposed model in this paper, we can predict the occurrence probability and occurrence frequency for each threats in the entire system.

In this paper, a novel method of equalization of RF transceivers is suggested for MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna actively studied for high speed data transmission in the recent IMT-2000 system. The core of suggestion is in equalizing the transfer characteristics of multiple transceivers using feedback and memory during the predefined calibration time. This makes it possible to weight the signals in the intermediate frequency, which is easier in the application of recently developed DoA(Direction of Arrival) algorithms. In addition, the time varying optimum cell formation according to traffic is feasible by antenna beam-forming based on the DoA information. The suggested method of equalizing multiple transceivers are successfully verified using envelope simulation. two outputs.

Context-awareness is a technology to facilitate information acquisition and execution by supporting interoperability between users and devices based on users' context. It is one of the most important technologies in ubiquitous computing. In this paper, we propose a middleware and a context server for dealing with context-awareness in ubiquitous Computing and implement an application system using them. The middleware proposed in our work plays an important role in recognizing a moving node with mobility by using a Bluetooth wireless communication technology as well as in executing an appropriate execution module according to the context acquired from a context server. In addition, the proposed context server functions as a manager that efficiently stores into a database server context information, such as user's current status, physical environment, and resources of a computing system. Finally, our application system implemented in our work one which provides a music playing service based on context information, and it verifies the usefulness of both the middleware and the context server developed in our work.

Due to rapid advance of wireless communication technology, demand on data services in mobile environment is gradually increasing. Caching at a mobile client could reduce bandwidth consumption and query response time, and yet a mobile client must maintain cache consistency. It could be efficient for the server to broadcast a periodic cache invalidation report for cache consistency in a cell. In case that long period of disconnection prevents a mobile client from checking validity of its cache based solely on the invalidation report received, the mobile client could request the server to check cache validity. In doing so, some schemes may be more efficient than others depending on the number of available channels and the mobile clients involved. In this paper, we propose new cache consistency schemes, effects, efficient especially (1) when channel capacity is enough to deal with the mobile clients involved or (2) when that is not the case, and evaluate their performance.

The antenna height of the mobile communications lower than its typical surroundings causes multipath fading usually resulting in fast fluctuations of both signal strength and wave length in mobile radio communications. Therefore, there have been developed and used various wave be- havior prediction models, in some other foreign countries, based on the measurement data rather than on theoretical derivation. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the wave propagation characteristics particularly in Korean terrain with the measurements made in four types of different areas - a large city area, a small city area, a flat terrain area, and a mountain area. Those areas have been classified according to the terrain characteristics with which the particular area contains, such as scale and number of buildings, highways, trees, and so on. With the measured data of the field strength in the frequency band of pager system obtained from those four different areas, we compared the calculated ones from both Hata's and TIREM prediction models which are often applied in Korea.

인터넷 등의 컴퓨터 통신 네트워크의 발달로 인하여 분산된 정보자원의 공유를 통한 자원에 대한 재사용성의 필요성이 대두되었다. IRD(Information Resource Dictionary)는 조직 내에서 관련된 모든 정보에 대한 데이터가 논리적으로 중앙화된 정보저장소(repository)이다. IRD 내의 데이터는 다른 데이터를 기술하므로 이른바 메타 데이터라고 하기도 한다. IRD의 사전(dictionary) 요소는 정보자원의 종류, 정보자원의 의미, 정보자원의 논리적 구조, 정보자원의 위치, 그리고 정보자원의 접근방법 등을 기술한다. FIPS ANSI의 IRDS는 이항 관계를 이용하여 무결성 제약조건을 표현하므로 제약조건 규칙의 표현과 일반적인 추론 규칙의 표현이 제한되어 있으며, 다양한 형태의 무결성 제약조건의 표현과 IRD와 관련된 여러 정보의 도출 또는 추론 및 관리에 관한 사항은 IRD 응용 고유의 문제로 간주하여 언급하고 있지 않다. 한편, FIPS IRDS는 사용자가 SQL 및 IRD에 대한 전문적 지식이 없이는 사용자 질의 작성이 어려운 점등에 대한 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문은 FIPS IRDS의 기본모델에서 정보자원 표현, 정보자원들간의 관계, 정보자원의 관리 정보 구분을 명확히 하기 위해 정보자원 모델을 정보자원 표현요소와 정보자원 관리요소의 두 부류로 나누어 구분하고, 각 부류에 대한 자격 질의(competency question)를 통하여 유추된 요소들을 FIPS ANSI IRDS 기본 모델의 스키마 기술 레벨과 스키마 레벨에 첨가함으로써 그 기본 모델을 확장한다. 그리고, FIPS ANSI IRDS가 제공하는 IRD 기술과 관리 기능을 그대로 포함하면서 앞에서 문제점으로 지적된 제약조건 표현과 추론규칙 표현을 위하여 확장된 기본 모델을 중심으로 각 레벨의 구성 요소들의 형식적 의미(formal semantics)와 레벨 내 혹은 레벨 구성요소들간의 관계성(relationship), 그리고 제약조건의 표현과 질의 추론 규칙들을 식별하여 FOPL(First Order Predicate Logic)로 표현한다. 또한, 본 논문은 FOPL로 표현된 predicate들과 규칙들을 구현하기 위하여 Prolog로 변환하기 위한 이론적 방법론을 제시하고 정보자원 관리를 위한 기본 함수들과 스키마 진화(schema evolution)를 위한 방법론을 제안한다.

We present a new MDA-based Mobile-IPv6 multicast routing algorithm for wirelese service operators to offer Mobile-IP over IMT-2000 service under IMT-2000 network by taking advantage of the existing infrastructure for IMT-2000 multimedia application services. The extended IMT-2000 system architectures use an PDSNs (i.e. IWFs), and the home network (i.e. Internet) backbone and intermediate network are composed of ATM entities. A key feature of the new protocol is the use of MDA(Multicast Delivery Agent) to reduce delivery path length of the multicast datagram. We show that proposed protocol is efficient in terms of various performance measures such as multicast traffic load, multicast related handoff, and average routing length when we implement it using the Mobile-IPv6. Particularly, the number of tunneling and average routing length of datagram are reduced relatively, the multicast traffic load is also decreased.

Network-based computing such as cluster computing requires a reliable high-speed transport protocol. TCP is a representative reliable transport protocol on the Internet, which implements many mechanisms, such as flow control, congestion control, and retransmission, for reliable packet delivery. This paper, however, finds out that Myrinet does not incur any packet losses caused by network congestion. In addition, we ascertain that Myrinet supports reliable and ordered packet delivery. Consequently, most of reliable routines implemented in TCP produce unnecessarily additional overheads on Myrinet. In this paper, we show that we can attain the reliability only by flow control on Myrinet and propose a new reliable protocol based on UDP named RUM (Reliable UDP on Myrinet) that performs a flow control. As a result, RUM achieves a higher throughput by 45% than TCP and shows a similar one-way latency to UDP.
