In this study, the system level network simulation is considered with adaptive array antenna in CDMA mobile communication system. A network simulation framework is implemented based on IS-95A/B system to consider dynamic handoff, system level network behavior, and deploying strategy into the overall CDMA mobile communication network under adaptive array algorithm. Its simulation model, such as vector channel model, adaptive beam forming antenna model, handoff model, and power control model, are described in detail with simulation block. In order to maximize SINR of received signal at antenna, Maximin algorithm is particularly considered, and it is computed at each simulation snap shot with SINR based power control and handoff algorithm. Graphic user interface in this system level network simulator is also implemented to define the simulation environments and to represent simulation results on real mapping system. This paper also shows some features of simulation framework and simulation results.

Next-generation mobile communication systems evolve in the form of high speed data transmission along with integration of wired-wireless network. Therefore, it needs researches on integrating service to heterogeneous networks to offer high speed data transmission and various services while supporting user mobility. In existing studies, heterogeneous networks are linked to single core network separatively, Since vertical handoff between heterogeneous networks leads to some delay, packets may be lost during vertical handoff. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an hierarchically integrated network architecture considering the characteristics of CDMA2000, WiBro, and WLAN. The hierarchically integrated networks are overlaid according to coverage of each network. Therefore, the proposed architecture can minimize handoff delay and packet loss. In addition, this paper proposes an integrated framework for next generation mobile communication networks.

In Mobile IP-enabled wireless LAN (WLAN), packet flows are corrupted due to the handoff of a mobile node (MN) at the link and network layers, which results in burst packet losses and can cause temporary buffer underflow in a streaming client at the MN. This transient behavior hurts time-sensitive streaming media applications severely. Among many suggestions to address this handoff problem, few studies are concerned with empirical issues regarding the practical validation of handoff options on the time-sensitive streaming media applications. In this paper, targeting seamless streaming over Mobile IP-enabled WLAN, we introduce a seamless media streaming framework that estimates accurate pre-buffering level to compensate the handoff latency. In addition, we propose a link-layer (L2) assisted seamless media streaming system as a preliminary version of this framework. The proposed system is designed to reduce the handoff latency and to overcome the playback disruption from an implementation viewpoint. A packet buffering and forwarding mechanism with L2 trigger is implemented to reduce the handoff latency and to eliminate burst packet losses generated during the handoff. A pre-buffering adjustment is also performed to compensate the handoff latency. The experimental results show that the proposed approach eliminates packet losses during the handoff and thus verify the feasibility of seamless media streaming over Mobile IP-enabled WLAN.

Traditional applications are executed using the restricted resources of a single computer, do not consider contextual information, and can not support mobile users. However, ubiquitous applications provide optimal services for mobile users using the various resources of computers and the contextual information around users and devices. Thus, ubiquitous applications need to have the functionality of context awareness, user mobility and QoS adaptability. This paper design the CMQ(Context-aware, Mobility-aware, QoS-aware) middleware framework for ubiquitous applications and implement the middleware framework using Jini and Java. The implemented middleware system can process various contexts, provide the session handoff for a mobile user, and allow applications to adjust its QoS dynamically.

차세대 이동 네트워크에서는 다양한 무선 접속 기술이 공존하게 된다. 이에 따라, 다양한 무선망을 지원하기 위한 분산방식의 호 수락 제어 구조인 SmartCAC를 제안한다. 우리는 네트워크간 정보 수집이 필요없는 분산방식을 위하여 모바일노드와 네트워크간의 상호동작을 이용한다. SmartCAC는 기본적으로 VHO call과 new call의 구분을 가능하도록 함으로써 VHO call에 handoff를 위해 예약된 채널을 사용할 수 있도록 한다. 또한, 이종망에서 네트워크 필터링을 할 수 있도록 모바일노드의 스피드를 이용한다. 이 때 효율적인 호 수락 제어 방식을 위하여 QoS 요구와 네트워크 사용에 대한 cost를 다룬다. 특히 우리는 이종망의 상태정보를 알 수 없는 모바일 노드가 네트워크의 상태정보를 받아 비교할 수 있도록 확장된 프로토콜을 제시하고, 시뮬레이션 연구에서 복잡도와 프로토콜 효율성에 따른 SmartCAC 평가를 수행하여 복잡도는 낮추고 효율성은 높이는 결과를 얻는다.

The international mobile telecommunication-2000(IMT-2000) system can support not only the non-realtime multimedia traffic such as data such as data image but also the realtime multimedia traffic such as voice, video. In the paper we propose multicode allocation and handoff schemes for efficient transmission of realtime and non-realtime data in cdma2000. In those schemes the bandwidth of target cell is reserved based on moving direction of mobiles to support QoS of realtime multimedia data and the reserved bandwidths is used by the non-realtime mobiles of the target cell until the mobiles want to perform hadoff. Our framework is able to guarantee QoS continuity of realtime multimedia data and carries the maximum number of subscriber. System performance is evaluated and compared with conventional scheme considering transmission delay channel utilization and blocking probability by computer simulation.

For supporting various mobile networks, this paper proposes a framework of distributed connection admission control, named SmartCAC. Especially, intelligent CAC operations are adopted in terms of interoperation between mobile nodes and mobile networks. This scheme does not need to correct information between networks. Basically vertical handover call can use guard channel that was reserved for handoff, because SmartCAC addresses the identification between vertical handover call and new call, delay and reliability as requirement of QoS for efficient connection control. The scheme also uses mobile terminal speed for network filtering. Especially an extended protocol is proposed to give different network states information to mobile nodes because there have been no ways for mobile nodes to compare the states of different networks. Sophisticated simulation study is performed in order to evaluate SmartCAC in terms of signaling cost. As a result, signaling cost of ours is up to 96% better than that of the existing scheme.

Mobility management of the mobile nodes and provision of seamless handover is crucial to an efficient support for the global roaming of the mobile nodes in next-generation wireless networks. Mobile IPv6 and mobility management in extended IP layer, which highly depend on traffic characteristics and user mobility models, were proposed by the IETF. Therefore, to evaluate the in-depth performance about these factors is important. Generally, the performance of IPv6-based mobility management protocol is evaluated through simulation. This paper shows the correlation between network parameters and performance metrics through numerical results, which is investigated how influence handoff latency and packet loss. And this paper uses mathematical analysis of the system parameters, such as the subnet residence time, the packet arrival rate and delay in wireless connection through the analytical framework which evaluate the performance of IPv6-based mobility management protocol.
