This paper briefly reviews ITU-T recommendations associated with multi protocol label switch (MPLS) and Ethernet operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM). The broadband convergence network (BcN) architecture with a centralized network controller is introduced. An aggregation structure employing Ethernet, MPLS, and time division multiplexing (TDM) signal is presented for the BcN. A physical link failure scenario is examined to investigate how the maintenance signal is propagated between different layers.

We performed field test and analyzed results of field test in variable HFC(Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) network environments. And we investigated whether the test results is satisfied in DOCSIS(Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification) 2.0 and OpenCable standard. Also, we propose HFC improvement problem for HFC Network quality as BcN(Broadband convergence Network) access network. We tested three sample areas. The sample areas represent various type of SO(System Operator) in korea. The field test was to measure signal level about digital channels. In results of multiple digital channels, in case of "Equalizer ON", we could be obtained very good test results. The results of field test were shown in satisfying recommended values in DOCSIS 2.0 and OpenCable. So, we could have confidence through field test that BcN will be possible to be adapted to environment of korea HFC network.

Automatic discovery of physical topology plays a crucial role in enhancing the manageability of modern metro Ethernet networks. Despite the importance of the problem, earlier research and commercial network management tools have typically concentrated on either discovering logical topology, or proprietary solutions targeting specific product families. Recent works have demonstrated that network topology can be determined using the standard simple network management protocol (SNMP) management information base (MIB), but these algorithms depend on address forwarding table (AFT) entries and can find only spanning tree paths in an Ethernet mesh network. A previous work by Breibart et al. requires that AFT entries be complete; however, that can be a risky assumption in a realistic Ethernet mesh network. In this paper, we have proposed a new physical topology discovery algorithm which works without complete knowledge of AFT entries. Our algorithm can discover a complete physical topology including inactive interfaces eliminated by the spanning tree protocol in metro Ethernet networks. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated by implementation.

A new approach to designing a broadband and highly efficient class-E power amplifier based on nonlinear shunt capacitance analysis is proposed. The nonlinear shunt capacitance method accurately extracts optimum class-E power amplifier parameters, including an external shunt capacitance and an output impedance, at different frequencies. The dependence of the former parameter on the frequency is considered to select an optimal value of external shunt capacitor. Then, upon determining the latter parameter, an output matching network is optimized to obtain the highest efficiency across the bandwidth of interest. An analytical approach is presented to design the broadband class-E power amplifier of a MOSFET transistor. The proposed method is experimentally verified by a 140-170 MHz class-E power amplifier design with maximum added power efficiency of 82% and output power of 34 dBm.

As increasing the Internet traffic, many researches on access network are reported for end-to-end highspeed broadband network, where E-PON (Ethernet-Passive Optical Network) is one of reasonable candidates for the network with respect to cost and bandwidth utilization. For the high-speed access network, E-PON needs an efficient bandwidth allocation method. This paper describes a WFBA (Water-Filling Bandwidth Allocation) algorithm for the efficient bandwidth allocation with various simulation test. Based upon the simulation test, we suggest several ways to improve performance of E-PON.

Internet의 확대와 망의 진화에 따라 현 통신 방식은 기존 회선 교환 방식에서 패킷 교환 방식으로 진화를 한다. NGN(Next Generation Network)이란 정확하게 정의를 내리기는 어렵지만, 개념적으로는 현존하는 모든 서비스(Voice, Data, Video 등)들과 미래에 나타날 멀티 서비스를 통합하여 수용할 수 있는 패킷 기반의 통신망을 의미한다. 이러한 개념은 망의 통합을 목적으로 하는 BcN(Broadband Convergence Network, 이하 BcN)로 진화하고 있다. 하지만, 진정한 의미의 BcN은 Legacy 회선 교환 방식(include Wireless Network)과 패킷 교환 방식의 모든 망 사용자에게 동일한 서비스를 제공하는 것이며, 이것은 Convergence Service라는 개념으로 정리를 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 접근을 Next Generation Convergence Service(이하 NGcS)로 정의를 한다. 논문에서는 NGcS 구축을 위해 지능망 서비스와 연계하여 접근을 할 것이며, INAP(Intelligent Network Application Protocol), WIN(Wireless Intelligent Network) 및 CAP(CAMEL Application Part) 등의 제어방식에 근거한다. 이러한 방식들에 대한 연동에 대해 논하며, NGcS 구축을 위한 Service Switching Function 설계 방법과 서비스를 트리거(Trigger)하기 위한 방법에 대해 논한다.

We propose the scheme that supports continuously service when a user tries to contact new target network in broadband convergence network even though the network resource for the service is not enough. The proposed scheme transforms original service capacity into suitable QoS for the target network using the scalable service techniques in the oncoding/decoding and supports handover for the user. We analyzed the handover blocking probability of two schemes using queueing system to show the improvement of performance by the proposed scheme. Subsequently, we showed that the handover blocking probability in the proposed scheme is lower than that in the existing scheme.

The subscriber access network is cause of the bottleneck phenomenon because equipment and infrastructure were not originally designed for busty high-bandwidth traffic between MAN(Metro Area Network) and LAN(Local Area Network). Whether riding on shorter copper drops or optical fiber, Ethernet is emerging as the future broadband protocol of choice, offering plug and play simplicity, and low cost. EPON(Ethernet Passive Optical Network) combines point-to-multipoint optical infrastructure with low-cost high-bandwidth Ethernet. The future broadband access network will be a combination of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint Ethernet, optimized for transporting IP data, as well as time critical voice and video. EPON is being considered as a novel communications infrastructure for next-generation broadband access network for the convergence of low-cost Ethernet equipment and low-cost fiber infrastructure. But, EPON has a problem with duplex multimedia services. It is the insufficiency of bandwidth for upstream. Because all ONUs use a shared transmission media for upstream. In this paper, we addressed the problem of upstream bandwidth in EPONs. We presented a wavelength division EPON supporting QoS in the differentiated services framework.

오늘날의 개발자들은 서비스를 생성함에 있어서 몇번의 클릭만으로도 간단하게 서비스를 개발할 수 있는 환경을 갖추었다. 이는 서비스를 개발하는 환경이 사용자가 최소한의 지식만을 가지고 개발 할 수 있도록 자동화 되어가고 있기 때문이다. 개방형 서비스에 있어서도 기존의 Parlay 를 단순화한 Parlay X 가 탄생하였고, 더 나아가 Parlay X 의 API 들을 개발자들이 쉽게 사용할 수 있게 해주는 SCE(Service Creation Environment)툴이 개발되게 되었다. 개발자를 위한 환경의 변화에 발 맞추어, SCE 의 범위는 더욱 넓어 졌다. 기존의 기능을 쉽게 사용할 수 있게 해주는 좁은 의미의 SCE 에서 서비스 생성 도구들을 사용자가 잘 이해하고 사용할 수 있도록 하는 방법도 중요한 이슈가 된 것이다. 본 논문에서는 통신망 응용 서비스에 대한 전문적인 지식이 없는 서비스 생성 도구 사용자가 개방형 서비스를 생성함에 있어서 어떠한 순서와 방법을 적용하면 효과적으로 서비스 생성을 체험할 수 있는지를 제안한다.

Since the guaranteed service quality(QoS) is spotlighted as a strategic competitive tool to Broadband Convergence Network(BcN) service providers, many scholars have dealt with QoS issues in the BcN environment. However, just a few researchers focus on end-users and most are lean toward service providers or technology itself. In this paper, therefore, we investigated how end-users could measure service quality in the BcN environment, and moreover, proposed the end-user oriented measurement guideline for BcN QoS. Through literature review and two surveys, four QoS dimensions and nineteen measurement items were derived from end-user's perspective. proposed QoS dimension and items would be utilized as meaningful tools for future BcN service.
