In this paper we propose a novel mobile terminal software architecture supporting energy efficient handover operation in heterogeneous networks. Since the legacy proposals for L3 handover are mostly dependent on IETF Mobile IP which has some problems in movement detection mechanism and no considerations on nested heterogeneous network environment as a result they make serious overload on networks and terminals by performing unnecessary handover in such network environments. The proposed architecture has terminal-oriented network selection and switching architecture where a mobile terminal periodically monitors network status and selects the optimum network, and reduces energy consumption by making L3 handover of Mobile IP to the finally selected network. The network selection method first picks up some candidate networks by considering a terminal speed and power consumption estimation, and determines the final target handover network among the candidates after evaluating multiple factors including QoS required by a terminal, network status, user preference and terminal battery status. Finally we verify the functionality and performance of the energy efficient vertical handover architecture by means of adopting it into a real mobile terminal.

This paper proposes a method to provide the high quality 3D broadcasting service in a mobile broadcasting system. In this method, audio and video data are delivered through a heterogeneous network, consisting of a mobile network as well as a broadcasting network, due to the limited bandwidth of the broadcasting system. However, it is more difficult to synchronize the left and right video frames of a 3D stereoscopic service, which come through different types of networks. The proposed method suggests the use of the offset from the initial timestamp of RTP (Real Time Protocol) to determine the order of frames and to find the pair of a left and a right frame that must be played at the same time. Additionally, a new signaling method is introduced for a mobile device to request a 3D service and to get the initial RTP timestamp.

This paper proposes a resource management and allocation algorithm to guarantee QoS continuity of realtime multimedia services and to maximize the resource utilization in heterogeneous wireless networks simultaneously. This scheme reserves the appropriate resources to be used by real-time multimedia services and allocates those resources left unused due to decreased transmission rate of realtime services to non-realtime services. Those resources can be preempted by the need of realtime services later. Performances are analyzed by simulation.

이종 망 환경에서 멀티미디어 서비스의 QoS를 보장하는 것은 3GE 시스템 개발을 위한 중요한 이슈이다. 이동 단말기가 이종 망간의 이동 시 끊임없는 서비스(seamless service)를 지원하기 위해서는 종단간(end-to-end) 협상 정보에 근거하여 사용자의 QoS를 보장할 수 있는 QoS 운영 구조(QoS management structure)를 제공해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 SLA(Service Level Agreement)에 기반한 종단간 QoS 제어 방안을 제시한다. 이를 위하여, QoS 지원을 위한 SLA 제어 구조 및 알고리즘을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 평균 지연과 패킷 손실률을 평가한다. 제안된 방식을 적용한 시스템이 기존의 망보다 더 좋은 성능을 보인다.

본 논문에서 우리는 이종사업자망이 연동된 통합망 환경에서 네트워크 성능 저하 구간을 탐색하기 위해 RTCP(Real-time Transport Control Protocol)의 타임스탬프 정보를 이용한 네트워크 구간별 지연 시간을 측정할 수 있는 트래픽 모니터링 방안을 제안한다. 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스(IPTV, VoIP)의 이용이 증가함에 따라 이종망간 연동 환경에서 실시간 서비스에 대한 QoS 관리 방안이 반드시 필요하다. 영상회의, VoIP(Voice over IP) 및 IPTV 서비스와 같은 멀티미디어 서비스는 네트워크 성능(지연, 지연변이 및 패킷 손실)에 매우 민감하기 때문에 연동망 환경에서 서비스 품질이 저하될 경우 어느 네트워크 구간에서 성능 저하가 발생하였는지 탐색하는 것은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 이에 우리는 RTCP 패킷을 이용한 구간별 지연시간 측정 방안을 제안하며 이 방안을 통해 네트워크 성능 저하가 발생한 구간을 탐색하고 정의할 수 있다.

We propose a cell selection and resource allocation scheme that assigns users to nearby accessible cells in heterogeneous wireless networks consisting of macrocell, femtocells, and Wi-Fi access points, under overload situation. Given the current power level of all accessible cells nearby users, the proposed scheme finds all possible cell assignment mappings of which user should connect to which cell to maximize the number of users that the network can accommodate at the same time. We formulate the cell selection problem with heterogeneous cells into an optimization problem of binary integer programming, and compute the optimal solution. We evaluate the proposed algorithm in terms of network access failure compared to a local ad-hoc based cell selection scheme used in practical systems using network level simulations. We demonstrate that our cell selection algorithm dramatically reduces network access failure in overload situation by fully leveraging network resources evenly across heterogeneous networks. We also validate the practical feasibility in terms of computational complexity of our binary integer program by measuring the computation time with respect to the number of users.
