This paper proposes a proxy-based caching optimization scheme for improving the streaming media services in wireless mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed scheme utilizes the proxy for data packet transmission between media server and nodes in WLANs, and the proxy locates near the wireless access pointer. For caching optimization, this paper proposes NFCO (non-full cache optimization) and CFO (cache full optimization) scheme. When performs the streaming in the proxy, the NFCO and CFO is to optimize the caching performance. This paper compared the performance for optimization between the proposed scheme and the server-based scheme and rate-distortion scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better performance than the existing server-only scheme and rate distortion scheme.

In this paper, wireless internet proxy server clusters are used for the wireless internet because their caching, distillation, and clustering functions are helpful to overcome the limitations and needs of the wireless internet. A wireless Internet proxy server cluster needs a systematic scalability, simple communication structure, cooperative caching, and serving Hot Spot requests. In our former research, we proposed the CD-A structure which can be scalable in a systematic way and has a simple communication structure but it has no cooperative caching. A hash based load balancing can be used to solve the problem, but it can not deal with Hot Spot request problem. In this paper, we proposed a shared storage based wireless internet proxy server cluster which has a systematic scalability, simple communication structure, cooperative caching, and serving Hot Spot requests. The proposed method shares one cache directory and it has advantages: advantages of the existing CD-A structure, cooperative caching, and serving Hot Spot requests. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show high performance improvement of the proposed system compared to the existing systems in Hot Spot requests.

무선 인터넷 프록시 서버 클러스터에서 부하 분산기는 사용자의 요청을 각 서버(호스트)로 분산시키는 역할을 한다. 리눅스 가상 서버(LVS: Linux Virtual Server)는 소프트웨어적으로 사용되는 부하 분산기로서 여러 가지 스케줄링 방식들을 가지고 있다. 그러나 부하 분산시에 서버(호스트)의 유동적인 부하 정보를 반영하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 이에 개선된 방식으로 서버의 동시 연결 개수에 따라 상한계(Upper Bound)와 하한계(Lower Bound)를 설정하고, 요청을 분산하는 동적 스케줄링(Dynamic Scheduling)이 존재한다. 그러나 사용자의 요청 컨텐츠에 따라 상한계와 하한계가 바뀔 수 있음에도 불구하고 이 값들이 고정되어 있다는 단점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 호스트 부하 정보에 기반한 스케줄링 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 호스트의 부하 정보를 바탕으로 사용자의 요청을 분산하였으며, 사용자의 요청에 따라 상한계와 하한계가 바뀔 수 있음을 고려하여 상한계와 하한계를 설정하지 않고 사용자 요청 컨텐츠에 따라 적절하게 요청이 분배되도록 하였다. 16대의 컴퓨터를 사용하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과 사용자가 요청하는 컨텐츠가 동일한 경우에는 기존 스케줄링 방식과 $13\%$ 성능 감소를 다른 경우에는 기존 스케줄링 방식보다 $102\%$의 성능 향상을 보임을 확인하였다.

컴퓨터 이용이 일반화되어 가면서 가정내에 인터넷을 이용한 수 있는 PC뿐만 아니라 다양한 정보기기들과 정보가전기기들이 등장하였다. 홈네트워크는 가정내에 홈서버를 중심으로 정보기기들과 정보가 전기기들로 이루어진 네트워크를 말한다. 본 논문에서는 홈네트워크에서의 효율적인 작업 수행과 홈네트워크 관리를 위해서 이동에이전트를 사용하는 홈네트워킹과 그에 따른 홈서버와 정보기기들의 구조를 제안하고, 홈네트워크에서 에이전트가 요청하는 에이전트 서버의 서비스나 홈네트워크 내의 자원을 공격적인 에이전트로부터 안전하게 보호하고 관리하기 위한 프록시 기반의 자원관리 메커니즘을 제안한다.

본 논문은 클라이언트 버퍼 확장 기법과 프록시 프리픽스 캐싱을 응용하여 기존의 패칭 기법의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 패칭 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 프록시에서 비디오의 프리픽스를 캐싱하여 패칭 윈도우 크기를 확장한다. 또한 클라이언트의 버퍼로 부터 오버플로우된 스트림을 공유하고 저장하기 위해 프록시 버퍼를 통해 클라이언트의 버퍼 공간을 확장한다. 프록시에서 프리픽스와 패칭 윈도우 크기가 확장되므로 기존의 패칭 기법보다 서버의 대역폭 요구량이 현저히 줄어들게 된다. 성능 평가를 통해 제안된 기법이 서버의 대역폭 요구량을 줄일 수 있음을 보인다.

The main bottleneck for large scale VOD systems is bandwidth of storage or network I/O due to the large number of client requests simultaneously, and then efficient techniques are required to solve the bottleneck problem of the VOD system. Patching is one of the most efficient techniques to overcome the bottleneck of the VOD system through the use of multicast scheme. In this paper, we propose a new patching scheme, called P2P proxy patching, for improving the typical patching technique by jointly using the prefix caching and P2P proxy. In our proposed scheme, each client plays a role in a proxy to multicast a regular stream to other clients that request the same video stream. Due to the use of the P2P proxy and the prefix caching, the client requests that ive out of the patching window range can receive the regular stream from other clients in the previous patching group without allocating the new regular channels from the VOD server to the clients. In the performance study, we show that our patching scheme can reduce the server bandwidth requirement about $33\%$ less than that of the existing patching technique with respect to prefix size and request interval.

A server load balancer is used to accept and distribute client requests to one of servers in a wireless internet proxy server cluster. LVS(Linux Virtual Server), a software based server load balancer, can support several load balancing algorithms where client requests are distributed to servers in a round robin way, in a hashing-based way or in a way to assign first to the server with the least number of its concurrent connections to LVS. An improved load balancing algorithm to consider server performance was proposed where they check upper and lower limits of concurrent connection numbers to be allowed within each maximum server performance in advance and apply the static limits to load balancing. However, they do not apply run-time server load information dynamically to load balancing. In this paper, we propose a dynamic load balancing scheme where the load balancer keeps each server CPU load information at run time and assigns a new client request first to the server with the lowest load. Using a cluster consisting of 16 PCs, we performed experiments with static content(image and HTML). Compared to the existing schemes, experimental results show performance improvement in the cases of client requests requiring CPU-intensive processing and a cluster consisting of servers with difference performance.

Currently, web syndication is usually utilized in desktop environments, but not considering mobile environments. In this paper, we focus on the extension of the desktop based web syndication to the mobile internet. Simply adapting the desktop based web syndication to mobile devices can cause high wireless internet communication cost. We propose PMS(Proxy-based Mobile Syndication) model which achieves low cost mobile syndication. In the PMS model, MWProxy is defined as a proxy server between mobile devices and web sites. It can reduce the communication cost by peeking up modified items from the web sites and reducing the channel size. In this paper, we designed and implemented the PMS system in a mobile phone and evaluated the performance of the PMS system by conducting real experiments using mobile emulators.
