Future mobile communication networks, which consist of ATM-based B-ISDN backbone networks and wireless ATM networks, will provide u user with broadband connection and QoS service. These network systems need the lossless handoff methods which support user mobility, satisfy ATM features such as ATM cell ordering and no ATM cell duplication and minimize buffer requirement for ATM cell buffering. In this paper we suggest a multicast-based handoff method to supp$\alpha$t lossless connection as well as to minimize buffer overhead. It establishes a dynamic multicast connection between source terminal and wireless member AP (access point)s. When the mobile terminal receives data packet correctly, it notifies the positive acknowledgement of the packet to all member APs. And member APs then release the MT related temporary buffer space for MT's future movement. Therefore member APs can eliminate unnecessary buffer usage and manage the buffer space efficiently. Analysis result shows that our handoff method has better performance in buffer requirement for lossless and seamless connection services over VCT (virtual connection tree) method and other dynamic multicast-based handoff methods.

In this paper, a multicast mechanism is proposed for intermittently disconnected networks where the nodes move forward in formation or within a limited area. The proposed scheme extends the well-known tree-based multicast routing mechanism called MAODV by modifying the tree construction and data delivery scheme. Especially, an algorithm is introduced which determines the flooding hop count k estimating the degree of the movement of children in the tree. The performance evaluation was done by the simulation and the proposed scheme was compared with MAODV and two multicast routing schemes for DTN (Disruption Tolerant Network) including the Epidemic routing and ST-multicast. The evaluation results show that our scheme improves the original MAODV from the aspect of tree reconstruction events and message delivery ratio. Compared with the Epidemic routing scheme, our scheme achieves 85% message delivery ratio with less than 50% message delivery overhead.

In 3GPP2 standard, MIP is used and a PDSN performs the function of FA to support macro mobility. When a MS is roaming from a PDSN area to another, the mobility supported is called macro mobility, while it is called micro mobility when a MS is roaming from a RN area to another in a PDSN area. Since a PDSN performs the function of FA in 3GPP2 standard, it is possible to support mobility but its mechanism is actually for supporting macro mobility, not for micro mobility, thus it is weak in processing fast and seamless handoff to support micro mobility. In this paper, we suggest the seamless handoff algorithm barred on multicast group mechanism to support micro mobility. Depending on the moving direction and velocity of a MS, the suggested algorithm constructs a multicast group of RNs on the forecasted MS's moving path, and maximally delays RNs'joining to a multicast group to increase the network efficiency. Moreover, to resolve the buffer overhead problem of the existent multicast scheme, the algorithm suggests that each RN buffers data only after the forecasted handoff time. To prove deadlock freeness and liveness of the algorithm. we use state transition diagrams, a Petri-net modeling and its reachability tree. Then, we evaluate the performance by simulation.

In this paper, we present an architecture for supporting QoS multicast routing in mobile ad-hoc networks. The proposed architecture consists of three parts as follows. The first part is a mobility-based clustering as underlying structure for supporting stable multicast services. In the second part, a framework which can support and evaluate the stability of route and network for supporting QoS routing is presented. In the third part, we describe a method which uses two structures of the first and second parts for supporting QoS multicast routing services. The performance evaluation of our proposed architecture is accomplished via modeling and simulation using the Optimized Network Engineering tool(OPNET).

멀티캐스트 응용을 다루는 기존의 많은 네트워킹 솔루션들은 특정한 트랜스포트 기술에 기반을 두고 있기 때문에 인터넷, ATM과 같은 하부 트랜스포트 네트워크에 따라 서로 다른 접근 방법을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 여러트랜스포트 네트워크에 적용 가능한 새로운 멀티캐스트 서비스 구조(MSA: Multicast Service Architecture)를 제안한다. MSA는 기존의 트랜스포트 네트워크 프로토콜들이 연결제어를 위하여 그대로 사용될수 있도록 설계되어 최소한의 변경으로 기존 트랜스포트 네트워크 상에서 운용될 수 있다. MSA는 트랜스포트 네트워크에 독립적으로 다양한 멀티미디어 멀티캐스트 응용들을 수용할 수 있으며 망 중심의 통신관리체계를 규정한다. MSA는 여러 가지 개념들을 도입하여 유연하고 확장성 있는 통신관리를 지원하는데 특히 호/연결제어 기능을 단말로부터 분리하여 정의함으로써 원격제어와 제어의 이동성을 지원할 수 있다. 따라서 사용자는 보다 다양한 방법으로 멀티미디어 멀티캐스트 서비스를 이용할 수있게된다. 또한 단말관리자와 가상 디바이스 개념을 도입하여 응용 개발자가 트랜스포트 네트워크나 물리적 디바이스의 상세한 특성을 모르더라도 응용을 설계할 수 있도록하였다. MSA를 구성하는 여러개의 서비스 컴포넌트들은 미들웨어 상에서 동작한다. 우리는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 MSA를 분석하였다.

An ad hoc network is multi-hop wireledss formed by mobile node without infrastructure. Due to the mobility of nodes in mobile ad hoc networks, the topology of network changes frequently. In this environments, multicast protocols are faced with the challenge of producing multi-hop routes and limitation of bandwidth. We compare the performance of two multicast routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks - Serial Multiple Disjoint Tree Multicast Routing Protocol (Serial MDTMR) and Adaptive Core Multicast Routing Protocol (ACMRP). The simulator is implemented with GloMoSim.

We design and implement explicit mobile multicast, named XMIP, by enhancing explicit multicast for a great number of small group multicast communications. XMIP is a straightforward multicast mechanism without maintaining multicast states due to the inheritance from the explicit multicast based on a unicast routing. This research modifies and extends the functionality of each mobility agent of IETF Mobile IP for interworking XMIP XMIP Packets captured by an extended home agent are forwarded to each extended foreign agent through nested tunnels, named X-in-X tunnels, made by the binding table of the extended home agent. X-in-X tunneling mechanism can effectively solve the serious traffic concentration problems of Mobile IP multicast specifications. Finally heterogeneous mobile networks as an XMIP testbed including CDMA2000 1X EV-DO and WLAN are actually established, and a multi-user instant messenger system for small group communications is developed for verifying the feasibility of the proposed protocols.

MANET이 유연성 있고, 자유로운 네트워크로서 주목 받아감에 따라 MANET에서의 Routing 알고리즘이 중요한 논점이 되고 있다. 특히 이동 에드혹에서 각 Node에 대한 관리 방법은 향후 차세대 네트워크의 중요한 부분으로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문에서 연구하고 제안하는 오버레이 멀티캐스트 Routing 알고리즘은 Cluster링 Node의 오버레이ID 생성 및 유지에 관한 알고리즘으로 MANET의 여러 가지 제한 조건 및 조건에 따라 유연성 있게 작용하므로, 현재 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 기존의 오버레이 멀티캐스트는 일반적인 단일 레이어로 이루어진 Cluster에 한하여 그 알고리즘을 적용하고 있으며, Cluster의 구성 및 유지 또한 Node의 속성 구분에 따른 에너지 등을 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 OMM은 오버레이 멀티캐스트를 Cluster링 기반의 RODMRP에서 사용하는 멀티레이어 구조에 링크코스트에 따른 Node의 잔여 에너지를 고려하여 적용하였으며, 멀티레이어의 장점과 네트워크의 Life Time을 위한 Node의 오버레이 ID 생성 및 유지에 대한 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안하고 있다

Since multicast in the mobile environments is based on packet transmission and independent addressing, this paper propose an improved scheme about how to manage the multicasting group and to set the communication path in the mobile environment by applying two-level addressing mode, which is similar to mobile IP, for location-independent address setting. And we propose the smooth handoff scheme that minimizes the handoff delay for mobile multimedia services. Performance analysis by the modified NS-2 network simulator has showed that the proposed scheme is better than other techniques in terms of handoff delay and transmitted packets' throughput.

멀티미디어 통신을 위한 계층형 멀티캐스트를 무선 환경으로 화장할 때에는 무선 네트워크의 낮은 대역폭에 의한 네트워크 혼잡 및 핸드오프에 의한 전송률 불안정 현상이 나타나게 된다. 이러한 문제를 효과적이고 능동적으로 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는이동 지원국 (MSS) 을 이용한 능동적인 전송률 조절 기법과 우선 순위에 따른 패킷 누락 기법을 제안한다. MSS는 네트워크 계층의 전송 큐 사용량을 통해 현재의 네트워크 상태를 파악해, 네트워크 혼잡 시 이동 호스트(MH)의 가입 실험 (Join-experiment) 을 막거나 수신 계층의 제거를 종용할 수 있다. 그리고 MSS에서 직접 계층별 우선 순위를 부여함으로써 핸드오프에 의한 전송량 불안정성 및 대역폭 분배 불공평성을 해결하고자 한다.
