IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN(WLAN) is being widely used in public space such as airport, and increases the networking boundary in campus and enterprise, and it has lastly attracted considerable attention for mesh network and converged network with other 3G mobile communication networks. In WLAN, load balancing among Access Points(AP) is an important issue for efficient resource management or supporting the Quality of Service(QoS) of traffic, but most researches focused on the AP selection in network entry or roaming of Stations(STA). In this paper, we propose an AP-Initiated Flow Redirection(FR) for AP load balancing by monitoring AP's availability in the true sense. When the AP's resource becomes almost saturated, that is used more than a specific threshold, the AP queries the roaming possible neighbor APs about their availability and calculates the distribution of traffic load with statistical methods such as entropy or chi-square. Finally, the AP decides flows and new APs for redirection and performs it. Our simulation results show that our FR mechanism increases the performance in the various views.

In this paper, we design and implement a product information guidance system Based on BLE beacons. This system is designed to provide various functions such as contactless entrance service through mobile ticket, seat guidance service, event push service, content push service, and public service. This system consists of three modules: a beacon recognition module, a server linkage module, and a content transmission module. The beacon recognition module implements a function of transmitting a specific ID of a nearby beacon when a customer with a smartphone approaches the available service area. The server linkage module recognizes the beacon ID value, transfers it to the server, and implements the function to check the location of the server having the ID. The content transmission module implements a function of transmitting event or service information set at a corresponding location to a smartphone. The beacon-based product information guidance system implemented in this paper has the advantage of being able to quickly and easily implement various product information guidance systems.

In the satellite communications, the frequency sharing with other services is important because the service coverage is generally very wide and overlaps with those of other wireless services. This paper introduces a new technique to mitigate interference into the terrestrial stations from the Earth station in the same frequency band by means of band segmentations which are portions of the overall operation frequency band divided by frequency reuse factor. We consider a multi-beam satellite system, where frequency bands are reused in each satellite cell. The terrestrial stations use band segmentations of adjacent satellite cells, and this may decrease the interferences. By this way, the terrestrial and satellite systems can share the same frequency bands efficiently. The simulation is performed at frequency reuse factors, seven and three. The simulation results show that the proposed method can highly reduce the interference level to -168 dBW or -163 dBW depending on the considered frequency reuse factor from -117 dBW at the 90% link availability.

Learning Diagnosis & Prescription Service(LDPS) in Cyber Home Learning System is a educational service which provides customized learning contents based on student's academic level and individualized counseling and comments after diagnosing learner's study habits beyond the past e-Learning systems which offer the same contents to different students. For a national point of view, it is a crucial project in public education to achieve the goals of the next-generation e-Learning service by making a lot efforts both in time and money. However, those efforts has been made, not in terms of providing a better quality of service and a better user experience in a effective and enjoyable way, but in terms of developing the technology-driven system. Therefore, in this study, two types of usability evaluations has been conducted in order to enhance a user experience on the LDPS. One is the expert reviews by utilizing the usability evaluation tools (heuristics) which was focused on educational contexts developed by Suh Young-suhk(2007). The other is the user testing with students who have done think-aloud during the evaluation, remembering their retrospective experience with LDPS, and the interview with teachers & service operators were conducted. As the implications on the research, this is an effort to provide an user-friendly educational system for the students nationwide.

A Tile Map Service is a regular map service that has been enhanced to serve maps very quickly using a cache of static images. The map cache is a directory that contains image tiles of a map extent at specific scale levels. Returning a tile from the cache takes the server much less time than drawing the map image on demand. Use of a Tile Map Service can dramatically improve the time that clients take to display complex base-maps. Using Tile Map Services thus eliminate the need to trade quality for performance. This study provides a way to construct Tile Map Service System using Open Source GIS. We used GDAL(Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) which is one of the Open Source GIS Softwares to make Tile Map Image and OpenLayers to publish Web Page. Moreover, We conducted a performance test on Tile Map System and Dynamic Map System and evaluated the results of it. As a result, the proposed method makes it easier to construct high performance Tile Map Service using Open Source GIS without commercial products.

Purpose: Food environmental factors related to food insecurity affect household food intake in several socio-ecological aspects. This study explores the relationship between food environment factors and food insecurity in households with married immigrant women. Methods: From November 2018 to February 2020, a survey was conducted enrolling 249 married immigrant women residing in the metropolitan areas of South Korea. In the final analysis, 229 subjects were divided into 2 groups classified as food security (n = 154) and food insecurity (n = 75), as assessed by the score of food security. Three aspects of food environments were measured: built·natural, political·economic, and socio-cultural Results: Food environments were significantly different between food security and food insecurity groups, as follows: the number of foods market and their distance from the home and food status for the last week at home in the built·natural domain; monthly cost of food purchase and experience for food assistance in the political·economic domain; total score of social support, parenting, and cooking skills in the socio-cultural domain. A stepwise multivariate linear regression model showed a negative association between the food insecurity score with social support from family and food inventory status in the last week. After adjusting for confounders, a positive association was obtained between the experience of a food support program. The final regression model explains about 30% of the relationship obtained in the three food environment domains and food insecurity (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Not only economic factors, which are common determinants of household food insecurity, but socio-cultural factors such as social support also affect household food insecurity. Therefore, plans for implementing a food assistance program to improve food insecurity for households with immigrant women should consider financial support as well as other comprehensive aspects, including socio-cultural domain such as social support from family and community.

In this paper, we explore the efficient processing of continuous range queries over a huge number of moving objects, each of which retrieves the moving objects that are currently located within a geographic query region of interest. The moving objects should continually communicate with the server to report their current locations, so as to keep the results of the continuous range queries up-to-date. However, this increases the server workload and involves a enormous amount of communication as the number of continuous range queries and the moving objects becomes enormous. In this paper, we adopt an approach where we leverage available memory and computational resources of the moving objects in order to resolve these problems. To this end, we propose a query indexing structure, referred to as the Space Partitioning Query Index(SPQI), which enables the server to efficiently cooperate with the moving objects for processing continuous range queries. SPQI improves system performance in terms of server workload and communication cost. Through simulations, we show the superiority of SPQI.
