The purpose of this study is to predict promising Location Based Services under an ubiquitous environment based on their technical characteristics, which is strongly required in rapidly changing circumstances with ubiquitous computing and Broadband Convergence Network (BcN). To begin with, this study proposes a classification scheme of ubiquitous services and defines five technology factors required for ubiquitous services. Next, this study collects a number of ubiquitous services from previous researches and classified them according to the classification scheme of ubiquitous services. And then, technical importance of the collected ubiquitous services are evaluated in terms of technology factors by using service-technology metrics. Finally, a set of important Location Based Services under ubiquitous environments and the correlations between technology factors are identified by using the evaluation results.

Bandwidth Trading(BT) represents a potential market with over 1 trillion USD across the world and high growth potential. BT is also likely to accelerate globalization of the telecommunications industry and massive restructuring driven by unbundling rush. However, systematic researches on BT remain at an infant stage. This study starts with structure analysis of the Internet industry, and discusses significance of Internet interconnection with respect to BT Issues. We also describe the bandwidth commoditization trends and review technical requirements for effective Internet interconnection with BT capability. Taking a step further, this study explores the possibility of improving efficiency of network providers and increasing user convenience by developing an architectural prototype of Hub-&-Spoke interconnection model required to facilitate BT. The BT market provides an Innovative base to ease rigidity of two-party contract and Increase service efficiency. However, as fair, efficient operation by third party is required, this research finally proposes an exchanging hub named NIBX(New Internet Business eXchange).

Advances in networking technology digital media, and codecs have made it possible for the Internet evolves into a Broadband convergence Network (BcN) and provides various services including Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and IPTV over their high-speed IP networks. In order for the Internet to make a profit as traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), it must provide high qualify VoIP services. Therefore, real time qualify measurement framework is the most important requisite to provide VoIP service. For this, IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) defined RTCP-Extended Reports (RTCP-XR) that extend RTCP (Real-Time Transport Protocol Control Protocol). However, procedure and method tot actually VoIP qualify measurement did not recommended nothing but defined item to measure voice quality. Our objective in this paper is to describes a practical measuring framework for end-to-end QoS of switched voice packet in an IP environment. It includes concepts as well as step-by-step procedures for measuring packetized voice streams. It also proposes new formats that extend RTCP-XR's concept.

Recently, the application of network technology extends to all areas because of development of digital information technology. Thus, networks are being evolved towards a next-generation communication environments where all information devices, home appliances, and object are connected and interoperated. In order to provide adequate convergence services in IMS-based networks that are the core technology of the next-generation communication environments, seamless service should be possible although the underlying network and the device in use may change in the networks. In this paper, we propose an efficient architecture, algorithm, and protocol of service session control for seamless service in such networks.

In this paper, an algorithm that provides absolute and proportional differentiation of packet delays is proposed with the objective of enhancing quality of service in future packet networks. It features an adaptive scheme that adjusts the target delay for every time slot to compensate the deviation from the target delay, which is caused by prediction error on the traffic to arrive at the next time slot. It predicts the traffic to arrive at the beginning of a time slot and measures the actual arrived traffic at the end of the time slot. The difference between them is utilized by the delay control operation for the next time slot to offset it. Because the proposed algorithm compensates the prediction error continuously, it shows superior adaptability to bursty traffic and exponential traffic. Through simulations we demonstrate that the algorithm meets the quantitative delay bounds and is robust to traffic fluctuation in comparison with the conventional non-adaptive mechanism. The algorithm is implemented with VHDL on a Xilinx Spartan XC3S1500 FPGA, and the performance is verified under the test board based on the XPC860P CPU.

In this paper, we deal with a hierarchical location-allocation problem in designing the broadband convergence networks (BcN). The objective is to minimize the total cost of switch and cable while satisfying the quality of service (QoS). We formulate the problem as an integer programming model and develop the Tabu Search (TS) heuristic algorithm to find a good feasible solution within a reasonable time limit. Initial solution is obtained by using the tree structure. Three neighborhood generation mechanisms are used by local search heuristic: insertion, switch up, and switch down. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we generate lower bounds from nonlinear QoS relaxation problem. We present promising computational results of the proposed solution procedures.

Recently, Broadband Internet service in the rural area is deployed actively so it will be needed to identify the factors influencing success for continuous spread. In this paper, we explain the users'satisfaction of BcN for rural area and verify success factors such as obstacles the digital divide through the empirical analysis. We select basic variables from Information System (IS) Success Model and add specific variables from former research about overcoming digital divide. The results show that system quality has a significant influence on satisfaction. Use and satisfaction have an impact on eliminating the digital divide in rural area. Based on the findings, academic and practical implications for establishing Broadband Service in rural area are also discussed.

In this paper, we propose active queue management mechanism (Active-WRED) to guarantee quality of the high priority service class in multi-class traffic service environment. In congestion situation, this mechanism increases drop probability of low priority traffic and reduces the drop probability of the high priority traffic, therefore it can improve the quality of the high priority service. In order to analyze the performance of our mechanism we introduce the stochastic analysis of a discrete-time queueing systems for the performance evaluation of the Active Queue Management (AQM) based congestion control mechanism called Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) using a two-state Markov-Modulated Bernoulli arrival process (MMBP-2) as the traffic source. A two-dimensional discrete-time Harkov chain is introduced to model the Active-WRED mechanism for two traffic classes (Guaranteed Service and Best Effort Service) where each dimension corresponds to a traffic class with its own parameters.

The NGN (Next Generation Network) means the kernel infrastructure technology to provide information and communication services which are able to be used at present and future when a ubiquitous computing era has been realized. In other words, NGN can be the frame providing the same information and communication services anytime and anywhere regardless of wire and wireless. The broadband convergence network that has been built in the public institution has established a broadband multimedia communication network supporting voice telephone, task net, internet network, video conference network, voice over IP (VoIP) network and etc. It is possible for a requested bandwidth and services to be served, only if a broadband convergence network provide the interoperability between the various classes which include a transport network layer, network control layer, service control layer and other layers. In this paper, we analyzed the interoperability issues of the present broadband convergence network and propose a guideline for the future one.
