In this work, we propose an analytic framework for dimensioning the link capacity of broadband access networks which provide universal broadband access services to a diverse kind of customers such as patient and impatient customers. The proposed framework takes into account the flow-level quality of service (QoS) of a connection as well as the packet-level QoS, via which a simple and systematic provisioning and operation of the network are provided. To that purpose, we first discuss the necessity of flow-aware network dimensioning by reviewing the networking technologies of the current and future access network. Next, we propose an analytic model for dimensioning the link capacity for an access node of broadband convergence networks which takes into account both the flow and packet level QoS requirements. By carrying out extensive numerical experiment for the proposed model assuming typical parameters that represent real network environment, the validity of the proposed method is assessed.

In this letter, we study the protection problem in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, and propose a novel dynamic heuristic algorithm called differentiated reliable segment protection (DRSP). Differing from previous work, DRSP can effectively avoid the trap problem and is able to find a feasible solution for each connection request. Therefore, DRSP outperforms the previous work. Simulation results have shown to be promising.

We propose an improved selective randomized load balancing (ISRLB) robust scheme under the hose uncertainty model for a special double-hop routing network architecture. The ISRLB architecture maintains the resilience properties of Valiant's load balancing and reduces the network cost/propagation delay in all other robust routing schemes.

Recently, due to the prevalence of various mobile devices and wireless broadband networks, there has been a significant increase in interest and demand for multimedia streaming services such as the mobile IPTV. In such a wireless broadband network, transmitting a continuous stream of multimedia data is difficult to achieve due to mobile stations (MSs) movement. Providing Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia video streaming applications requires the server and/or client to be network-aware and adaptive. Therefore, in order to deploy a mobile IPTV service in wireless broadband networks, offering users efficient wireless resource utilization and seamlessly offering user perceived QoS are important issues. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive streaming scheme, called MARC (Mobile-aware Adaptive Rate Control), which adjusts the quality of bit-stream and transmission rate of video streaming based on the wireless channel status and network status. The proposed scheme can control the rate of multimedia streaming to be suitable for the wireless channel status by using awareness information of the wireless channel quality and the mobile station location. The proposed scheme can provide a seamless multimedia playback service in wireless broadband networks in addition to improving the QoS of multimedia streaming services. The proposed MARC scheme alleviates the discontinuity of multimedia playback and allocates a suitable client buffer to the wireless broadband network. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

In this letter, we study the multicast protection problem in sparse-splitting wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical network, and propose a novel multicast protection algorithm called the shared source-leaf path-based protection (SLPP) algorithm. Unlike the proposals in previous studies, the backup paths derived by SLPP can share wavelength with the primary tree in sparse-splitting WDM networks. Simulations are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the SLPP algorithm.

DSL, 캐이블 모뎀, 그리고 이더넷 기반으로 구축된 대부분의 광대역 접속망은 주로 인터넷 접속 서비스 제공에 활용되고, 최선형(Best-effort) 인터넷 서비스를 제공하며, 정액제(Flat Rate Pricing) 방식의 요금 체계를 채택하고 있어서 사용자별 그리고/또는 응용 서비스별 차별화된 통신 서비스 제공이 어렵다. 그러나 최근 멀티미디어 통신 기술, 보안 기술 등의 발전으로 최선형 인터넷 접속 서비스 이상의 서비스 품질(QoS-Quality of Service) 제공을 요구하는 대화형/스트리밍형 멀티미디어 서비스와 VPN(Virtual Private Network)의 도입이 확대되고 있다. 인터넷에서 QoS 제공을 위하여 RSVP 기반의 IntServ와 DiffServ 와 같은 다양한 기술들이 개발되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 현재의 광대역 접속망 구조와 QoS 지원 현황을 분석하고, 광대역 접속망 환경에서 멀티미디어 서비스 지원을 위해 요구되는 QoS를 지원할 수 있는 현실적인 접근법과 구현 방안을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 QoS 지원 방안은 종량제 형태의 과금 체계와 DiffServ 방식의 QoS 지원 기법의 결합으로 이루어지고, 기존 광대역 접속망과의 역호환성을 고려한 단계적인 접근 방안을 채택하고 있다.

We address the data confidentiality for wireless broadband (WiBro) networks. In WiBro, as the channel is wireless in nature, it suffers from passive and active attack. Passive attack, for example is to decrypt traffic based on statistical analysis and active attack is to modify traffic or inject new traffic from unauthorized mobile stations. Due to high mobility, frequent session key distribution is a bottleneck for the mobile stations. In aspect of WiBro, there is a communication between mobile station to base station, and also in mobile station to mobile station. It is expected to ensure data confidentiality while maintaining minimum overhead for the resource constrained mobile stations. In this paper, we proposed a security framework based on the concept of hyper-encryption to provide data confidentiality for wireless broadband networks.

현재 해상통신망에는 고속의 데이터 송수신을 위한 경제적인 통신기술이 요구되고 있다. 해상에서는 무선통신에 전적으로 의존할 수밖에 없는 환경으로 인해 취약한 데이터 통신보안에 대한 해결책도 함께 제시되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 광대역 해상통신망의 위와 같은 현안들을 해결하기 위하여 다중 홉 자율통신망 형성기술 가운데 하나인 WiMAX MMR 기술을 도입하고, 육상과 달리 기지국이 없는 해상 상황에서 안전한 자율망을 형성하기 위해 확장된 프로토콜을 제안한다.

To enhance the scalability of high performance packet switches, a two-stage load-balanced switch has recently been introduced, in which each stage uses a deterministic sequence of configurations. The switch is simple to make scalable and has been proven to provide 100% throughput. However, the load-balanced switch may mis-sequence the packets. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called full frame stuff (FFS), which maintains packet order in the two-stage load-balanced switch and has excellent switching performance. This algorithm is distributed and each port can operate independently.

We propose a new optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) scheme for reducing multiple access interference (MAI) and enhancing performance for optical subscriber access networks using modified pseudorandom noise (PN)-coded fiber Bragg gratings with bipolar OCDMA decoders. Through the bipolar OCDMA decoder and the modified PN codes, MAI among users is effectively depressed. As the data are encoded either by a unipolar signature sequence of the modified PN code or its complement according to whether the data bit is 1 or 0, the bit error ratio (BER) can be more improved with the same signal to interference plus noise ratio over the conventional on-off shift keying-based OCDMA system. We prove by numerical analysis that the BER of the proposed bipolar OCDMA system is better than the conventional unipolar OCDMA system. We also analyze the spectral power distortion effects of the broadband light source.
