The telecom world is steadily converging with the IP world, the benefits of converged services are required by many traditional telecom users. The aim of this thesis is to study the functional architecture of NGN based converged service. This thesis also shows how the converged service could be implemented on NGN with IMS core architecture.

To reduce time to market for converged services, the service provider needs to combine external services and internal processes together, and IT architecture for converged services has to support it. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) enables the development of a converged service by combining external services and internal processes effectively. However, it is difficult for the existing SOA methods to support the evolution of a converged service, even though the service which consists of the converged service changes over time. In this paper, we argue that a method for profile-based dynamic service binding is required to support evolution of converged services. In order to identify requirements for the proposed method, a business scenario with a smart athletic equipment is given. We then present the concept and architecture of the method for profile-based dynamic service binding to meet the identified requirements. We also demonstrate a prototype implementation for evaluating the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose the converged profile and authentication scheme for supporting converged media services of broadcasting & communications convergence in fixed mobile convergence networks. The proposed scheme supports the management of access, service, mobility and IPTV profiles on subscriber and a function of open API(Application Program Interface) for providing the subscriber profile for the third party service provider with the PUSH/PULL method. The open API is based on a web service and a REST(Representational State Transfer) and provides various services for the third party service provider with ease. In addition, the proposed scheme supports a function of SSO(Single Sign-on). After user succeeded in establishing an access connection, user can sustain the same authentication state with this function although connected access network is changed or IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem) service network is attached. We evaluate and analyze the performance of the proposed scheme through the implementation of CUPS(Converged User Profile Server) system test-bed.

This paper Introduces an electronic auction service to be provided on Interactive TV (T-auction). This converged service is expected to much enhance the quality of the service to current online auction users through vivid visualization and live Interactive experience. Our study focuses on how the characteristics of the interactive TV-based shopping platform can affect users' attitudes towards the converged service. To develop our proposed research model, we extended the technology acceptance model and integrated it with a hedonic factor, or perceived enjoyment to reflect the dual characteristics of the converged system. We also adopted the variable of intermediary trust In the service as a critical mediating determinant for a successful commutations-mediated commerce. The research model was verified with an empirical study conducted on 970 Korean online auction users. Results show that both trust and perceived usefulness positively affect user adoption of the service. Trust had not only a direct effect on users' attitudes toward T-auction but also an indirect one by mediating the service quality, information quality, perceived enjoyment and ease of use. Meanwhile, the hedonic factor of T-auction contributes to increasing both the level of the intermediary's trust and its perceived usefulness. Users' enjoyment also was found to help form a positive attitude toward T-auction services. Theoretical and practical implications of this study for current e-auction service providers and potential t-auction service providers are also discussed.

Recently, there has been much interest in the converged platform that enables the harmonized collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of various kinds of marine information by using the ICT means. Regarding such the converged platform, S-100 standards including the international hydrographic data model are being announced and various studies have been published based on the S-100 standards. However, the existing studies have presented simple solutions for only given problems on the converged service of the maritime information. They could not propose the design concept of the converged platform which makes it possible to provide the standardized and integrated services among the geospatial data, the real-time maritime data, and the next ENC. Therefore, we propose design and implementation details of the converged service platform for the geospatial and the maritime data based on the S-100, WMS, WMTS, WPS, SOS standards. The proposed platform has advantages of supporting both the S-57 and the S-101, supporting the converged services of heterogeneous geospatial data and ENC data, supporting the real-time services of sensor data such as weather, AIS, and CCTV, and supporting the development of various kinds of maritime systems such as ECDIS, ECS, VTS based on the WebApp service. Finally, we proved the effectiveness of our proposed platform through the actual implementation of the converged service of geospatial data, S-101 data, and KWeather data.

Converged LAN accepts diverse traffics so that performance analysis is very important for successful development of converged LAN. In this paper, we develop simulation program using SALM II and simulate queue management scheme and scheduling algorithm for converged LAN. The result of simulation shows the effect of performance for cyclic service algorithm larger than priority algorithm using weight. And queue management can be easy by implementation of Back Pressure scheme.

A novel converged optical network unit (ONU)-base station (BS) architecture has been contemplated for next-generation optical-wireless networks. It has been demonstrated through high quality studies that data traffic carried by both wired and wireless networks exhibit self-similar and long range dependent characteristics; attributes that classical teletraffic theory based on simplistic Poisson models fail to capture. Therefore, in order to apprehend the proposed converged architecture and to reinforce the provisioning of tightly bound quality of service (QoS) parameters to end-users, we substantiate the analysis of the QoS behavior of the ONU-BS under self-similar and long range dependent traffic conditions using custom queuing which is a common queuing discipline. This paper extends our previous work on priority queuing and brings novelty in terms of presenting performance analysis of the converged ONU-BS under realistic traffic load conditions. Further, the presented analysis can be used as a network planning and optimization tool to select the most robust and appropriate queuing discipline for the ONU-BS relevant to the QoS requirements of different applications.

In this paper, we present a service model which serves multimedia contents to end consumer(End-user) that have various mobile communication terminals under a communication & broadcasting converged environment that broadcasting and communication networks are linked. A main feature of this service model is that it has a distribution structure that deliver to end consumer via adaptation of content from production of contents offering End to End (E2E) media QoS and personalized contents consumption. The proposed service model may be used as a reference model for distribution of multimedia content in communication & broadcasting converged environment in the future.
