최근 들어, 모바일 장치의 성능이 향상되고 보급률이 증대됨에 따라 모바일 장치를 그리드 자원으로 이용하기 위한 모바일 그리드가 등장하였다. 그러나 모바일 장치가 가지는 무선기기로써의 제약사항 즉, 무선 통신의 불안정성, 이동으로 인한 연결 끊김 등의 문제와 배터리의 제약은 모바일 그리드를 구성하는데에 많은 어려움을 야기한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 제약사항을 극복할 수 있는 환경적인 요소를 고려하여 학교나 회사와 같이 안정적인 무선통신 환경을 제공하고 베터리 충전이 용의한 네트워크 그룹을 가정하였다. 그리고 제한된 성능을 발휘하는 모바일 장치에서 독립적인 소규모 작업의 효율적인 수행을 위해 성능예측 기반 작업 스케줄링 기법을 제시하였다. 이 기법은 네트워크 그룹 내의 모바일 장치의 이용 패턴이 규칙적으로 나타내는 특성을 이용한다. 제안하는 스케줄링 기법에서는 하나의 네트워크 그룹의 성능을 그 그룹에 속한 모바일 장치들의 성능의 합으로 정의하고 시간에 따라 변화하는 모바일 장치들의 성능을 예측하기 위해 기존에 수집된 성능 정보의 통계를 이용한다. 그리고 본 기법은 그리드와 네트워크 그룹, 네트워크 그룹과 모바일 장치 사이의 작업 분배시 예측된 성능 정보를 이용함으로써 네트워크 그룹의 사용률을 높여 전체 작업의 최종 응답시간을 줄일 수 있다.

최근 마이크로 센서와 무선 통신 기술의 진보는 센서 네트워크의 발전을 가능하게 하였다. 이와 같은 사실은 무선 센서 네트워크를 위한 수많은 라우팅 프로토콜의 개발로 이어졌으며, 다양한 구조의 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 특히, 디렉티드 디퓨젼(Directed Diffusion; DD)은 데이터 중심 기반의 라우팅 알고리즘으로 속성 칼 쌍을 이용하여 통신하는 센서 네트워크의 한 패러다임이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 DD에서는 작업을 요청하는 질의 메시지(interest message)가 전체 센서 네트워크에 플러딩(flooding)되는데, 이러한 과정은 에너지 소비 측면에서 볼 때 매우 비효율적이라고 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 에너지와 밀도 정보를 고려한 임계값을 이용하여 데이터의 전송 지역을 제한함으로서, 네트워크의 에너지 소비를 줄일 수 있는 새로운 메시지 전달영역 제한기법(propagation limiting method; PLM)을 제안한다. 퍼지 규칙 기반 시스템은 센서 필드에 배치된 노드들의 에너지와 밀도 정보를 입력 파라미터로 사용하여 메시지 라우팅을 위한 임계값 결정에 사용된다 본 연구에서 제안된 기법을 사용하여 센서 네트워크의 에너지 소비를 실험한 결과 기존에 제안되었던 알고리즘들에 비해 상대적으로 높은 효율성을 나타내었으며, 전체적으로 네트워크의 수명도 연장할 수 있었다.

Capacity is a traditional issue in wireless network and is closely related to the service quality of network providers, therefore it is a main interest of them. Especially, when a big match of sport game or a special event are held in a place and a large crowd temporarily gathers, a need of big transmission capacity greater than usual usage in the area is required, where network providers need a scheme to temporarily expand network capacity in any specified area. This paper focuses on temporary expansion of wireless network capacity for such situations. In this paper, we first investigate maximum transmission capacity of wireless ad-hoc networks. In the investigation, we consider a network topology with regularly located nodes. For the topology, we investigate the maximum transmission capacity with RTS/CTS medium access protocol, and then we study the maximum transmission capacity without the protocol. Next, we propose a scheme to expand network capacity and analyze the performance of the proposed scheme. From the results of analysis, we see that our proposed scheme is effective for temporary expansion of wireless network capacity.

In wireless sensor networks, geographic routing is known as an efficient method to transmit the data packet using the location information. Geographic routing relies on two techniques: greedy forwarding and face routing. Face routing helps to recover from greedy routing fail and is based on the planar graph in which does not cross each edge. However, the planarization causes frequently short transmission of data packet because it removes other edges except the shortest one. In other words, since the planarization removes the long edges, face routing could not exploit the efficient removed edges of communication graph. This problem brings about the excessive energy consumption of nodes. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient face routing protocol in wireless sensor networks. This proposed protocol searches the removed edges and transmits them via the edges. Simulation shows that the proposed protocol is more efficient in terms of energy consumption than the previous face routing.

The rights and obligations of the Member States of ITU in the domain of international frequency management of the spectrum/orbit resource are incorporated in the Constitution and Convention of the ITU and in the Radio Regulations that complement them. These instruments contain the main principles and lay down the specific regulations governing the major elements such as rights and obligations of member administrations in obtaining access to the spectrum/orbit resource, as well as international recognition of these rights by recording frequency assignments and, as appropriate, any associated orbits, including the geostationary-satellite orbits used or intended to be used in the Master International Frequency Register (MIFR) Coordination is a further step in the process leading up to notification of the frequency assignments for recording in the MIFR. This procedure is a formal regulatory obligation both for an administration seeking to assign a frequency in its network and for an administration whose existing or planned services may be affected by that assignment. Regulatory problem lies in allowing administrations to fulfill their "bringing into use" duty for preserving his filing simply putting any satellites, whatever nationlity or technical specification may be, into filed orbit. This sort of regulatory lack may result in the emergence of the secondary market for satellite orbit. Within satellite orbit secondary market, the object of transaction may be the satellite itself, or the regulatory rights in rem, or the orbit registered in the MIFR. Recent case of selling the Koreasat belongs to the typical example of orbit transaction between private companies, the legality of which remains doubtedly controversial from the perspective of international space law as well as international transaction law. It must be noted, however, that the fact is the Koreasat 3 and its filed orbit is for sale.

It is very hard to obtain a general algorithm for solution of all the constraint satisfaction optimization problems. However, if the whole problem is separated into subproblems by characteristics of decision variables, we can assume that an algorithm to obtain solutions of these subproblems is easier. Under the assumption, we propose a problem classifying rule which subdivide the whole problem, and develop backtracking algorithms fit for these subproblems. One of the methods of finding a quick solution is efficiently arrange for any order of the search tree nodes. We choose the cluster head positioning problem in wireless sensor networks in which static characteristics is dominant and interference minimization problem of RFID readers that has hybrid mixture of static and dynamic characteristics. For these problems, we develop optimal variable ordering algorithms, and compare with the conventional methods. As a result of classifying the problem into subproblems, we can realize a backtracking framework for systematic search. We also have shown that developed backtracking algorithms have good performance in their quality.

As frequency resource has taken on greater importance, Cognitive Radio(CR) technology has been considered as the solution to improve spectrum utilization by allowing a secondary user to utilize a licensed band when the primary user is absent. So spectrum sensing is significant part of CR for high performance. Recently, cooperative spectrum sensing that secondary users share each sensing results is proposed to improve spectrum sensing accuracy. In this paper, OR rule based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme using reporting error probability which occurs in user to fusion center(FC) channel The simulation results show that proposed scheme mitigates false alarm probability limitation which appears in existing cooperative spectrum sensing scheme by restricting the number of cooperating users using reporting error probability.

CR systems performs spectrum sensing operation to detect the appearance of primary users. However, since it is not feasible to do spectrum sensing and data transmission simultaneously, they typically operate alternatively in a time domain. There have been an effort(8) to investigate the optimal spectrum sensing duration for maximum throughput for the scheme with cooperative spectrum sensing. This is based on an assumption that the communication channels between each secondary user and the fusion center are ideal and does not consider the effects of transmission error. Motivated by this, we here model the channels as binary symmetric channels and examined its effect on the maximum throughput and the associated optimal sensing duration. Analysis shows that the performance degradation due to the transmission error is smaller for the case of using the AND fusion rule than for the OR fusion rule.

This research introduces a case of NFC (Near Field Communication)-based exhibition support system for analyzing visitors' POB (Point of Behavior) data gathered from the system. The application of NFC technology to an exhibition space allows visitors new experiences of exposition and exhibitors to collect and analyze data about behaviors of visitors. The NFC-based exhibition support system is applied to the 'Korea Travel Expo 2013.' The visitors' behaviors are analyzed based on collected NFC tag touch data and association rules among booths are extracted. Furthermore, the tag touch data are integrated with the survey data for catching the demographics-based implications.
