  • Mobile network is used by many users worldwide for diverse services, including phone-call, messaging and data transfer over the Internet. However, this network may experience massive damage if it is exposed to cyber-attacks or denial-of-service attacks via wireless communication interference. Because the mobile network is also used as an emergency network in cases of disaster, evaluation or verification for security and safety is necessary as an important nation-wide asset. However, it is not easy to analyze the mobile core network because it's built and serviced by private service providers, exclusively operated, and there is even no separate network for testing. Thus, in this paper, a virtual mobile network is built using OpenAirInterface, which is implemented based on 3GPP standards and provided as an open source software, and the structure and protocols of the core network are analyzed. In particular, the S1AP protocol messages captured on S1-MME, the interface between the base station eNodeB and the mobility manager MME, are analyzed to identify potential security threats by evaluating the effect of the messages sent from the user terminal UE to the mobile core network.

  • Effective alerts will drastically mitigate the disaster impacts. One way to enhance the effectiveness is to prepare multiple alert distribution channels. In this paper, we propose a new emergency alert distribution system that will solve the weaknesses of the current distribution systems, such as Cell Broadcasting System and T-DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service. The weaknesses are: the limitation of message length, small portions of terminals that can receive and display the alert signal, and one-way communication service. To solve these problems, we propose an emergency alert distribution system over the Internet with RSS (Rich Site Summary) format. The system also has the capability of adaptive alert filtering according to the receiver characteristics. We analyzed the characteristics of RSS as an alerting format, and draw functional requirements satisfying use case scenarios. We designed the system only with major requirements and verified it on our test bed. Sending richer message contents through various receiving terminals, the system will achieve more effective emergency alert service.

  • Measuring method being applied for off-shore works is performed by using data logger or manual measuring instrument with wiring the cable connected from the sensor up to the position where measuring is allowed.(upper part of embankment or marine structure) Measuring management by using existing measuring method may be acceptable on the condition that the ground deformation volume(vertical, horizontal) is generally minimal and the site condition is good. But loss of measuring instrument, sensor cable failure or cutting is taken place frequently due to significant change of ground behavior caused by an external force change(embankment, excavation) under very soft ground condition(N value below 0-4). In case of the marine works, in particular, loss rate of measuring instrument is highly represented due to the factors of working barge anchoring, constructional interference and natural disaster. In order to solve these problems, measuring management was performed with employing underground wireless system at the immersed tunnel site. Measuring data was obtained freely under the marine environment by using underground wireless communication and cable cutting potential by ground behavior could be reduced. Measuring cost savings and its installation convenience were maximized by way of off-shore tower installation or cabling and by minimizing constructional interference of off-shore working barge. This case of measuring management was accomplished successfully.

  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies are perhaps the most prominent examples of wireless communication technologies used in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment. Compared to widely used Wi-Fi, Bluetooth technology has some flaws including 1:1 connection (one-way) between Master and Slave, slow transmission, and limited connection range; Bluetooth is mainly used for connecting audio devices. Since the release of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), some of the flaws of Bluetooth technology have been improved but it still failed to become a competitive alternative of Wi-Fi. This paper presents a method of data transmission through broadcasting in BLE and demonstrates its performance, one-to-many data transfer result. The Connection-Free Data Transmission proposed in this paper will hopefully be utilized in special circumstances requiring 1:N data transmission or disaster security network.

  • In recent years, Drone(lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle) is used for broadcast shooting, disaster scene, leisure, observation and military purposes. However, as the use of drones increases the threat of hacking is also rising. Especially when a flying drone is seized, a dangerous situation can occur which is abused regardless of the driver's intention. Already in Iran and China, there is a case of hacking and stealing the drones of other countries under reconnaissance. In this paper, we analyze the security vulnerabilities of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication in wireless network which are used in drones for stealing the commercial drones. The results provide a countermeasure to safeguard the drones against attempts by the unauthorized attacker to take out the drones.

  • Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been applied to not only military missions like surveillance and reconnaissance but also commercial missions like meteorological observation, aerial photograph, communication relay, internet network build and disaster observation. Fuel cells make UAVs eco-friendly by using hydrogen. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) show low operation temperature, high efficiency, low noise and high energy density and those characterisitcs are well fitted with UAVs. Thus Fuel cell based UAVs have been actively developed in the world. Recently, fuel cell UAVs have started to develope for high altitude UAVs because target altitude of UAVs is expanded upto stratosphere altitude. Long endurance of UAVs is essential to improve effects of the missions. Improvement of UAV endurance time could be fulfilled by developing a hydrogen fuel storage system with high energy density and reducing the weight of UAVs. In this paper, research trend and analysis of fuel cell UAVs are introduced in terms of their altitude and endurance time and then the prospect of fuel cell UAVs are shown.

  • In this paper, there was compared to the performance of the Auto Correlation Feature of each code using Spreading code for improving the data transmission technology in T-DMB disaster broadcasting. Generally, wireless mobile communication environment such as DMB occur the Inter Code Interference and the Multi-Path Interference in the process of the identification of the transmitter from the receiver. To solve this problem, spreading code technology was able to improve the security property. Also, it will be able to use in many fields of signal processing, because to control a period of the code can be variable. Therefore, in this paper, we studied to compare the performance of excellent orthogonal Golay code, Kasami code and ZCD(Zero Correlation Duration) code.

  • In recent years, there have been frequent occurrences of collapsing buildings and tilting accidents due to frequent earthquakes and aging of buildings. Various methods have been proposed to prevent disasters on these buildings. In this paper, we propose a system that provides an indication of anomalous phenomena such as collapse and tilting of buildings by real-time monitoring of IoT(Internet of Things) based architectural anomalies. The MEMS sensor is based on the inclinometer sensor and the accelerometer sensor, transmits the detected data to the server in real time, accumulates the data, and provides the service to cope when the set threshold value is different. It is possible to evacuate and repair the collapse and tilting of the building by warning the occurrence of the upper threshold event such as the collapse and tilting of the building.

  • Event detection using social media has been widespread since social network services have been an active communication channel for connecting with others, diffusing news message. Especially, the real-time characteristic of social media has created the opportunity for supporting for real-time applications/systems. Social network such as Twitter is the potential data source to explore useful information by mining messages posted by the user community. This paper proposed a novel system for temporal event detection by analyzing social data. As a result, this information can be used by first responders, decision makers, or news agents to gain insight of the situation. The proposed approach takes advantages of deep learning methods that play core techniques on the main tasks including informative data identifying from a noisy environment and temporal event detection. The former is the responsibility of Convolutional Neural Network model trained from labeled Twitter data. The latter is for event detection supported by Recurrent Neural Network module. We demonstrated our approach and experimental results on the case study of earthquake situations. Our system is more adaptive than other systems used traditional methods since deep learning enables to extract the features of data without spending lots of time constructing feature by hand. This benefit makes our approach adaptive to extend to a new context of practice. Moreover, the proposed system promised to respond to acceptable delay within several minutes that will helpful mean for supporting news channel agents or belief plan in case of disaster events.
