In this paper, we present a high-level design methodology applied on a network system-on-a-chip(SOC) using SystemC. The main target of our approach is to get optimum performance parameters for high network address translation(NAT) throughput. The Fast Ethernet media access controller(MAC) and its direct memory access(DMA) controller are modeled with SystemC in transaction level. They are calibrated through the cycle-based measurement of the operation of the real Verilog register transfer language(RTL). The NAT throughput of the model is within $\pm$10% error compared to the output of the real evaluation board. Simulation speed of the model is more than 100 times laster than the RTL. The validated models are used for intensive architecture exploration to find the performance bottleneck in the NAT router.

Recently, due to the variety and complexity of marine electronics communication devices, much research has been done to adopt the novel communication protocol. Among them, NMEA2000 protocol, is adopted as standardized protocol to the next generation ship. In this paper, we design and implement the conversion algorithm for sensor protocol based on NMEA2000, and analog data module which convert data format between NMEA2000, CAN, Ethernet, RS232. The present study was designed to implement user-based data monitoring system by supporting various communication protocols through the development and application of key technologies through NMEA2000.

In the present study, the real-time monitoring system is developed based on the wireless sensor network (WSN) and power line communication (PLC) employed in the 3,000-ton-class training ship. The WSN consists of sensor nodes, router, gateway and middleware. The PLC is composed of power lines, modems, Ethernet gateway and phase-coupler. The basic tests show that the ship has rather good environments for the wired and wireless communications. The developed real-time monitoring system is applied to recognize the thermal environments of main-engine room and one cabin in the ship. The main-engine room has lots of heat sources and needs careful monitoring to satisfy safe operation condition or detect any human errors beforehand. The monitoring is performed in two regions near the turbocharger and cascade tank, considered as heat sources. The cabin on the second deck is selected to monitor the thermal environments because it is close to the heat source of main engine. The monitoring results of the cabin show the thermal environment is varied by the human activity. The real-time monitoring for the thermal environment would be useful for the planning of the ventilation strategy based on the traces of the human activity against inconvenient thermal environments as well as the recognizing the temperature itself in each cabin.

The P-3C maritime patrol aircraft operated by the Republic of Korea Navy is equipped with various sensor devices (LRUs, line replace units) for tactical data collection. Depending on the characteristics of the sensor device, it operates with various communication protocols such as IEEE 802.3, MIL-STD-1553A/B, and ARINC-429. In addition, the collected tactical data is processed in the tactical station for mission operators, and this tactical station constitutes a clustering network on Gigabit Ethernet and operates in a distributed processing method. For communication with the sensor device, a specific tactical station mounts a peripheral device (eg. ARINC-429 interface card). The problem is that the performance of the entire distributed processing according to the peripheral device control and communication relay of this specific device is degraded, and even the operation stop of the tactical station has a problem of disconnecting the communication with the related sensor device. In this paper, we propose a method to mount a separate gateway to solve this problem, and the validity of the proposed application is demonstrated through the operation result of this gateway.

FTTH상용화, IEEE802.11n 무선랜 기술의 상용화 등과 같은 초고속 전송기술의 발전에 따라 홈네트워킹 환경 또한 급격하게 변화하고 있다. 100Mbps를 초과하는 많은 홈네트워킹 기술들의 개발로 인해 홈게이트웨이에 보다 넓은 대역의 LAN 인터페이스를 요구하게 되었고, xDSL이나 케이블모뎀 기반의 가입자망과의 대역폭 차이는 고성능의 QoS 기능을 요구하게 되었다. 이러한 통신환경을 토대로 홈게이트웨이의 기능에 대한 요구사항을 분석하고 홈게이트웨이용 스위칭 칩의 개발규격을 도출하였다. 그리고 새로운 네트워크 기반의 비즈니스 모델을 개발하고자 하는 통신사업자의 요구사항과 QoS나 IPv6등의 다양한 네트워크 요구사항을 등을 유연하게 수용할 수 있으며, 칩의 기능과 성능을 수정하 또는 추가할 수 있는 네트워크 프로세서 기반의 기가빗 스위치 칩을 개발하였다. 개발 칩은 패킷 프로세서로 Layer 4까지 의 패킷헤드를 처리하고, 2기가빗이더넷 + 6패스트이더넷 포트를 갖도록 설계하였으며, FPGA를 이용하여 스위칭 칩의 기본적인 전송기능과 성능, Flow별 패킷 분류 및 패킷 필터링, 스케쥴링 기능 등의 시험을 통하여 설계한 칩의 기능과 성능을 확인하였다.

홈 네트워크내에서 Always-on 기기 특성으로 인하여 불필요한 에너지를 소비하는 경우가 전체 소모전력량의 60%이상을 차지한다. 그러므로 이러한 에너지 소비를 줄일 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구의 필요성이 점차 증대되고 있으며, 본고에서 연구한 Ethement 기반의 트래픽량에 의한 대기모드 전환 알고리즘은 에너지 절감에 매우 유용한 연구기술이라 할 수 있다. 이에, 본고에서는 idle time때의 네트워크 에너지 소비를 절감하기 위한 대기전력 지원형 Green Ethernet Gateway시스템설계 및 구현방안과 시스템 대기모드상태를 최대한 연장하여 energy efficient효과를 향상시키기 위한 Proxying 기반 control policy를 제안한다. 일반적으로 홈네트워크의 네트워크 연결은 ethemet을 중심으로 이루어지며, 대부분 게이트웨이를 기반으로 그 연결이 구성된다. 그러나 홈네트워크의 일반적인 동작시간이 8시간 내외인데도 불구하고, 네트워크 연결을 위해서 full Power 상태를 유지해야하는 기존의 energy unaware기반의 게이트웨이 구조로는 에너지측면에서 막대한 에너지 낭비를 초래한다. 이에 본고에서는 게이트웨이에서의 에너지 절감을 위한 트래픽량 기반의 대기모드 지원형 시스템을 구현하고 실제 홈네트워크 적용을 통한 에너지 절약효과를 실험한다. 또한 활성모드, 대기모드간 전환을 효과적으로 하기 위한 layer 2,3 Packe기반의 지능형 Proxying 알고리즘을 이용한 control policy를 제안한다.

A home network is a collection and connection of many electronic and electrical devices in home in order to make daily life comfortable, entertaining and safe. The convergence of Ethernet and wireless technology to a single shared broadband connection in residential gateway is the key feature of the home network. This kind of heterogeneous network has realized the need to implement different QoS mechanisms. Basically, in this paper we propose to integrate IP QoS and Wireless QoS mechanisms for QoS assurance in home network. This paper compares the combination of PCF with two queuing algorithms Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) and Custom Queuing (CQ) and concludes that the combination of CQ and PCF performs best for home network.

Home network is the connection and communication of several electronic and electrical devices at hone with the integration of several technologies like Ethernet, wireless, phone line and power-line at the residential gateway to the internet. This internet based home network can be accessed from any part of the world through any device by any poison via internet. Since home network is developed for comfortable and safe life of home users, the information flow to/from home network needs to be private. Hence the remote access of the home network must be secured. This paper analyses two secure tunneling methods, voluntary and compulsory for L2TP(Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) based VPN(Virtual Private Network) for secure remote access of the home network.
