As quick and secure mobility service is becoming a critical issue in the ubiquitous environment. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has done a lot of meaningful work in order to cope with the critical issues, which is a key technology of guaranteeing the legally and safely using of network resources, they has proposed Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) to complement for such problems as handover latency and signaling overhead in existing MIPv6. Most of the current research about HMIPv6 focuses on how to optimize the interactive processes between the HMIPv6 and AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) protocol. This paper describes a cost-effective hierarchical authentication scheme, which makes its focus on minimizing the authentication latency in AAA processing. In this scheme, a hierarchical AAA architecture is proposed, in which the AAA servers are deployed on the Mobility Anchor Point (MAP), the Root AAA server manages several Leaf AAA servers and the Brokers on behalf of the AAA server in home domain. The simulation results shows that the proposed scheme reduces the handoff and authentication latency evidently compared to the previous traditional authentication combination modeling.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification: 라디오 주파수 인식)란 라디오 주파수를 활용해서 무선으로 사물을 인식하는 것을 의미한다. RFID 기술을 구성하는 기본 요소는 태그, 안테나, 리더 등이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 RFID 기술의 기본 요소와 더불어 인식된 사물의 정보를 광범위하게 구축되어 있는 유${\cdot}$무선 네트워크와 연결하여 활용할 수 있는 모든 기술을 RFID 기술로 정의하였다. 비록 최근에 RFID 기술이 여러 분야에서 큰 이슈로 떠오르고 있지만, 실제 RFID 기술은 오래전인 2차 세계대전에 영국군의 자국 전투기 식별을 위해 이미 활용되고 있었다. 그러나 그 당시에는 RFID 기술의 구성요소인 태그나 리더의 값이 고가였기 때문에 특정분야에 한해 RFID 기술을 적용할 수 있었다. 그 이후에 1990년대에 이르러 RFID 기술은 가축관리, 컨테이너관리, IC 카드 등 점차 다른 분야로 적용이 확대되기 시작했다. 특히 반도체 기술의 발전이 급속도로 이루어진 1990년대 말을 기점으로 RFID 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어져, 현재에는 SCM(Supply Chain Management), 국방, 의료, 교통, 환경, 동물관리, 홈 네트워크 등 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능한 기술로 평가되고 있다. 특히, SCM에 있어서 RFID 기술 도입은 큰 파급효과가 예상되고 있다. SCM을 구성하는 기업들은 RFID 기술 도입을 통해 제품의 가시성(visibility)과 추적성(traceability)을 확보할 수 있게 된다. 기업들은 자신의 제품이 현재 어디에 있으며 어떠한 경로를 통해 그 자리에 이르렀는지를 실시간(real time)으로 확인 가능하게 된다. 미국의 월마트사(社) 와 영국의 메트로사(社) 같은 선진 유통 기업들은 실증연구를 통해 RFID 기술 도입이 비용 절감과 함께 고객 서비스 향상을 도모할 것이라는 결론을 내린 바 있다. 또한 현제 초기단계이기는 하지만 실제 RFID 기술을 도입하여 운영 중에 있다. 국내에서도 정부주도 하에 RFID 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 지난 2004년에 유통 물류 분야의 1차 시범사업을 완료하였다. 그러나, 이러한 국내${\cdot}$외의 적극적인 도입 움직임에도 불구하고 국내에서는 아직 RFID기술 도입이 SCM(Supply Chain Management)에 있어서 구체적으로 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 대한 연구가 거의 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 RFID 기술 도입 의사결정자에게 제공될 수 있는 정량적인 ROI 분석 모형에 관한 연구는 시급한 과제로 떠오르고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SCM 차원에서 RFID 기술 도입에 따른 ROI 분석 모형을 제시하고 적용해 보고자 한다.

In this paper, to solve some problems of the Mobile IP and local registration strategy we propose a method that can effectively support real-time traffics sensitive to delay time and packet loss. The proposed method reduces the registration time after a Mobile Node's movement between networks by carrying out the pre-registration for the domain which it will move into the network information of the link layer of cdma2000 system, at the boundary cell's handoff zone. Through the cost analysis and simulation it is shown that the proposed scheme yield a better performance compared with the Mobile IP and local registration strategies in terms of packet loss for parameters; variation of the velocity of a Mobile Node, and a distance between the Mobile Node and home networks, etc.

This paper presents calorie expenditure prediction model of daily activity of elderly living alone for LBS(Location Based Service) applications. The proposed method is to describe the daily activity patterns of older adult using PIR (Passive InfraRed) motion sensors and to examine the relationships between physical activity and calorie expenditure. The developed motion detecting system is composed of a sensing system and a server system. The motion detecting system is a set of wireless sensor nodes which has PIR sensor to detect a motion of elder. Each sensing node sends its detection signal to a home gateway via wireless link. The home gateway stores the received signals into a remote database. The server system is composed of a database server and a web server, which provides web-based monitoring system to caregivers for more effective services. The experiment results show the adaptability and feasibility of the calorie expenditure model.

In order to control moving facilities on a remote place effectively, it are required to acquire a environment informations such as images where the moving facilities are placed. However, since there is no tools to acquire such informations to the central control system based on the non-networked sensor environments, it is difficult to control the moving facilities remotely. Therefore, we design and implement the Zigbee based image transmission system and communication protocol to control the moving target remotely. The wireless control utilizing the Zigbee protocol is that electrically consumption is more small than the Bluetooth and reliability of data transmission is better. The implemented Zigbee based control systems and communication protocol have the normal and replay function for a realtime control of the moving target under the server PC and the mobile FDA with the WiFi protocol. The functional operability and performance are analyzed by a designed prototype under the wireless home network environment.

As one of the most spotlighted research areas, these days, the Internet of Things (IoT) aims to provide users with various services through many devices. Since there exist so many devices in IoT environments, it is inefficient to manually configure the domain name system (DNS) names of such devices. Thus, for IPv6-based IoT environments, this paper proposes a scheme called the DNS Name Autoconfiguration (DNSNA) that autoconfigures an IoT device's DNS name and manages it. In the procedure for generating and registering an IoT device's DNS name, the standard protocols of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) are used. Since the proposed scheme resolves an IoT device's DNS name into an IPv6 address in unicast through a DNS server, it generates less traffic than multicast-based mDNS (Multicast DNS) which is a legacy DNS application for the DNS name service in the smart home. Thus, the proposed scheme is more appropriate in multi-hop IoT networks than mDNS. This paper explains the design of the proposed scheme and its service scenarios, such as smart home and smart road. It also explains the implementation and testing of the proposed scheme in the smart grid.

In this paper, we have implemented UPnP Devices which emulate a Control Point, a Light Controller, and a Digital TV. The Control Point has been developed on Linux host system by using C language. The UPnP Devices emulating the Digital TV and Light Controller are running on embedded linux developer board. For the development of UPnP Devices, UPnP SDK API Vl.04 made by Intel Co. Ltd. has been ported on Assabet Linux Reference board to implement the UPnP protocol. After we analyze and design some services of Digital TV device, we have applied UPnP Device program to those devices. UPnP SDK vl .04 consists of APIs which support HTTP, SSDP, SOAP, GENA and XML DOM Level-1 that are cores of UPnP protocol. The C program written for the UPnP Control Point has been compiled and executed on Linux-based PC. The embedded system running on Embedded Linux OS has been connected all together through Ethernet which allows IP-based communications. Under this environment, the UPnP programs are being executed on each device. Control Point, when in operational mode, discovers UPnP Devices on the network and displays the device list on the consol. By selecting one of the functionalities of the device services that are displayed on the Control Point, the controllability has been accomplished. The experiment that we performed in this thesis have revealed that the Control Point and UPnP Devices have supported the protocols including SSDP, SOAP, GENA, and DHCP.
