This paper proposes a cross-layer design combining adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) with truncated hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) for wireless multicast transmission, in order to increase the spectral efficiency while meeting the target quality-of-service (QoS). In the design, we provide the selection criterion of AMC so as to satisfy the target packet error rate (PER) of all users when the multicast data is received through the common channel and the number of retransmission is limited by the delay constraint of the service. The analytically derived results show that the cross-layer design using HARQ provides a better spectral efficiency than the AMC without HARQ by allowing retransmission and code combining. It is also observed that the design for multicast outperforms that for unicast in the mid to high signal-to-noise ratio region.

The damage of safety accidents at home can be minimized by preventing accidents in advance as well as by coping with the accidents promptly through the help of safety management system. In this paper, we identify several services to prevent and cope with the accidents that may occur at home by leveraging sensors and wireless network technology available at home network environments. In order to provide these services, we propose a context-aware system for safety management at home. The proposed system awares the dangerous situations through the information collected by the sensors in home network environment. The proposed system tries to not only prevent the accidents but also to cope with the situations using the information of rescue targets and the location where the accident occurs. We evaluate the appropriateness of sensors by implementing the proposed environments. Through OPNET simulation experiments, we also measure the amount of network traffic in order to confirm that the bandwidth of IEEE 802.15.4 is enough for the proposed system. Finally, we determine more appropriate wireless data transmission mechanism with respect to the end-to-end delay and battery consumption for the proposed system.

비정상 행위에 대한 true/false 방식의 공격 탐지 및 대응방법은 높은 오탐지율(false-positive)을 나타내기 때문에 이를 대체할 새로운 공격 탐지방법과 공격 대응방법이 연구되고 있다. 대표적인 연구로는 트래픽 제어 기술을 이용한 단계적 대응방법으로, 이 기술은 비정상 트래픽에 대해 단계적으로 대응함으로써 공격의 오탐지로 인하여 정상 서비스를 이용하는 트래픽이 차단되지 않도록 하는 기술이다. 비정상 트래픽 중 포트스캔 공격은 네트워크 기반 공격을 위해 공격대상 호스트의 서비스 포트를 찾아내는 공격으로 이 공격을 탐지하기 위해서는 일정 시간동안 특정 호스트의 특정 포트에 보내지는 패킷 수를 모니터링 하여 임계치와 비교하는 방식의 true/false 방식의 공격 탐지방법이 주로 사용되었다. 비정상 트래픽 제어 프레임워크(Abnormal Traffic Control Framework)는 true/false 방식의 공격 탐지방법을 이용하여 공격이 탐지되었을 때, 처음에는 트래픽 제어로 대응하고 같은 공격이 재차 탐지되었을때, 차단하여 기존의 true-false 방식의 공격 탐지 및 대응방법이 가지는 높은 오탐지율을 낮춘다. 하지만 포트스캔 공격의 특성상, 공격이 탐지된 후 바로 차단하지 못하였을 경우, 이미 공격자가 원하는 모든 정보를 유출하게 되는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 True/False 방식의 포트스캔 공격 탐지방법에 퍼지 로직 개념을 추가하여 공격 탐지의 정확성을 높이고 기존의 탐지방법을 이용하였을 때보다 신속한 트래픽 제어 및 차단을 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

Mobile computing environment makes it possible for computing activities to be maintained during movement even if a user changes its network point of attachment. Mobile IP is a standard protocol designed to be used in such mobile computing environment. However, Mobile IP has a drawback to incur a lot of handoff delays and waste network resources, since CoA(Care of Address) registration packets need to go through a HA(Home Agent) first whenever a mobile node moves. To solve this long-standing problem, this paper proposes a new scheme that, for infra-domain movement, efficiently performs local handoff without notifying the HA Specifically, based on the notion of load balance, the proposed scheme allows every FA(Foreign Agent) in a domain to become the root FA(also known as domain FA) dynamically, thus distributing the registration task into many other foreign agents. The dynamic root assignment through load balancing ultimately leads to fast network response due to less frequent transmission of registration packets.

이동통신 망을 통한 멀티미디어 통신의 수요 급증으로, 차세대 이동통신 시스템에서는 패킷 교환에 기초한 망 구조가 사용될 것으로 예측된다. VOD(Voice Activity Detector)를 갖는 음성 단말은 데이터를 발생시키는 talk spurt(평균이 t$_1$인 지수분포를 따름)와 데이터를 발생시키지 않는 silence period(평균이 t$_2$인 지수분포를 따름)의 두가지 상태를 갖는 마코프 체인으로 모델링된다. Goodman at. al.은 음성 단말들이 talk spurt동안만 데이터를 전송하게 함으로써 더 많은 가입자들을 수용할 수 있는 PRMA(Packet Reservation Multiple Access) 기법을 제안되었다. PRMA 방식에서는 시간 축이 슬롯들로 구성되며 여러개의 슬롯들로 프레임이 형성된다. Silence period 상태에 있던 음성 단말은 talk spurt 상태가 되면 talk spurt의 첫 번째 데이터를 하나의 슬롯을 통해 전송하게 된다. 이때 단말들은 각 슬롯에서 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 확률을 나타내는 채널 접근 확률(channel access probability)에 의해 데이터를 전송하게 되며 전송에 성공하면 슬롯을 예약함으로서 다음 프레임부터는 동일한 위치의 슬롯을 통해 데이터들을 전송하게 된다. DS/CDMA(Direct Sequence/code Division Multiple Access)는 이동통신 단말의 수용 용량상의 이점, 소프트 핸드오버 능력, 보다 용이하게 셀 계획을 세울 수 있는 점 등에 의해 차세대 이동통신 망에서 채택될 예정이다. CDMA 시스템은 간섭(interference)에 의해 용량이 제한을 받게 되며, MAI(Multiple Access Interference)가 시스템의 성능에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. Brand, et. al.은 간섭의 분산을 줄이기 위해 PRMA 개념을 DS/CDMA 환경으로 확장한 Joint CDMA/PRMA 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 이때 각 슬롯에서의 데이터 전송확률을 그 슬롯에서 예약상태에 있는 음성 단말의 수에 의존하게 하는 방식을 사용하였으며 데이터 전송확률을 나타내는 채널 접근 확률들을 시뮬레이션을 통해 유도하였다. 한편 음성 단말에게는 실시간 서비스를 제공해 주어야 하는 대신 데이터 단말에게는 실시간 서비스를 제공해 주지 않아도 되므로, 트래픽이 많을 때에는 음성 단말의 데이터 전송에 우선권을 주는 것이 바람직하다. 이를 위해서 Brand, et. al.은 채널 접근 확률을 각 슬롯의 트래픽 상태에 따라 적응적으로 산출하는 기법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 Joint CDMA/PRMA의 성능이 채널 접근 함수의 효율성에 많이 의존하게 되므로 보다 효율적인 채널 접근 확률을 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 즉 채널 액세스 확률을 각 슬롯에서 예약상태에 있는 음성 단말의 수뿐만 아니라 각 슬롯에서 예약을 하려고 하는 단말의 수에 기초하여 산출하는 방법을 제안하고 이의 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션에 의해 새로 제안된 채널 허용 확률을 산출하는 방식의 성능을 비교한 결과 기존에 제안된 방법들보다 상당한 성능의 향상을 볼 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose the location determination system of an agent mobile device using the information provided by the WLAN(Wireless LAN) infrastructure. This system is configured as a typical ESS(Extended Service Set)-type WLAN structure with real-time location positioning engine and thru AP(Access Point) controller. The positioning engine collects the information of agent devices using SNMP(Small Network Management Protocol) thru AP controller and utilize those information as Cell ID. for LBS(Location Based Service). In the result of a real office environment implementation, the average success rate of inter-AP roaming is measured to 62.5% and the duration time of the device information update within the AP is average of 11 second of time, which means this system is adaptable to the location based service of above average accuracy but somewhat less urgency.

The introduction of fast packet switching networks such as the ATM leads to the possibility of video services with constant quality. However, the fixed traffic descriptor(TD), which is defined by ATM Forum and ITU-T, can not simultaneously satisfy network efficiency and video quality. This paper presents fast resource reallocation protocol (FRRP) which can provide an effective compromise between network efficiency and video quality. This protocol reallocates the network resources and then adapts the traffic to the reallocated resources. In the proposed method, a video session is divided into several time-intervals according to its generated traffic and TD is calculated which well characterizes the traffic during the specific subdivided interval. In addition, a system model, where MPEG coding algorithm and network control are unified, is proposal and the performance of the FRRP in terms of cell loss rate(CLR) is evaluated though the simulation using real video traffic(Star Wars). Simulation results show that the FRRP has only 5 ~35% CLR of the fixed TD.

In this paper, we propose the next-generation broadband wireless access network architecture, which is based on the wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network(WDM-PON), and efficient mobility management scheme to support quality-of-service(QoS) of multimedia services in the next-generation wireless network. By adapting WDM-PON technology to wireless access network, the proposed scheme can realize broadband wireless access network. In addition, We utilize newly proposed local channels between optical network units(ONUs) or subnets in order to support the fast and efficient local data and handoff data transmission. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of handoff delay and packet loss thru computer simulation. Thru various computer simulation results, we verified the superior performance of the proposed scheme by comparing with the results of other schemes.

Traffic and congestion control in the wireless sensor network is an important parameter that decides the throughput and QoS (Quality of Service). This paper proposes a transmission rate priority-based traffic control scheme to serve digital contents streaming in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, priority for transmission rate decides on the real-time traffic and non-real-time with burst time and length. This transmission rate-based priority creates low latency and high reliability so that traffic can be efficiently controlled when needed. Traffic control in this paper performs the service differentiation via traffic detection process, traffic notification process and traffic adjustment. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves improved performance in delay rate, packet loss rate and throughput compared with those of other existing CCF and WCA.

When users of mobile environments move fast or slow into a number of base stations(BS) and request the services of continuous media data such as video or audio, this study examines what the caching has the usefulness in mobile environments. Namely, to reduce packet disconnections and network overheads in mobile environments and minimize transmission delay time, we propose domain-based hierarchical caching structure and study whether application of caching has the usefulness. So we have a model based on user environments and hierarchical network structure to process continuous media services, and analyze the usefulness of caching which depends on the mobile patterns of user and the locations of caching nodes. And then, we research whether caching offers the usefulness in mobile environments. As the result, we are able to see that an adaptable application of caching is needed because the hit ratio and the number of replacement vary in large according to mobile patterns of user and locations of caching.
