The Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has been standardized by the IETF NETLMM WG for network-based mobility management. The PMIPv6 can provide IP mobility for Mobile Nodes (MNs) with low handover latency and less wireless resource usage. But, since the PMIPv6 is basically designed for local mobility management, it cannot support directly global mobility management between different PMIPv6 domains. In the PMIPv6, since all traffic is routed through a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA), it causes a long end-to-end delay and triangular routing problem. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a fast network-based global mobility management scheme and route optimization scheme with a new network entity, called Global Mobility Agent (GMA). Numerical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme is able to support global mobility between different public domains with low handover latency and low end-to-end delay, compared with the PMIPv6.

The code division multiple access(CDMA) system capacity is limited by the amount of interference of the system. To reduce the unnecessary interference, this paper proposes optimized cell identification codes for site selection diversity transmission(SSDT) power control in wideband code division multiple access system of third generation partnership project(3GPP). The main objective of SSDT power control is to transmit on the downlink from the primary cell, and thus reducing the interference caused by the multiple transmission. In order to select a primary cell, each cell is assigned a temporary identification(ID) and user equipment(UE) periodically informs a primary cell ID to the connecting cells during soft handover. The non-primary cells selected by UE do not transmit the dedicated physical data channel(DPDCH) to reduce the interference. A major issue with the SSDT technology is the impact of uplink symbol errors on its performance. These errors can corrupt the primary ID code and this may lead to wrong decoding in the base station receivers. The proposed SSDT cell ID codes are designed to minimize the problem and to be easily decoded using simple fast Hadamard transformation(FHT) decoder.

Purpose: This study is an overview of the experiences of nurses who have participated in a communication education program which was designed to develop proper change-of-shift dialogues. The goal of this program was to improve the communication competencies of outgoing and incoming nurses during handover and takeover of their shifts. Methods: The materials used in this study to analyze the experiences qualitatively were transcripts from narrative interviews with seven nurse participants. The education program consisted of two rounds of change-of-shift simulations by pairs of nurses, planning of a forthcoming change-of-shift, three lectures on ideal dialogue patterns, and time for video feedback. Afterwards the participants' experiences of the program were evaluated generally, highlighting the positive and the negative aspects, and how this educational experiences might affect their future change-of-shift activities. Results: High practicability, originality, professionalism, and effectiveness were some of the positive assessments made by the nurse participants. In addition, they pointed out that the sample video in which two professors performed an ideal handover and takeover and the paper kardex were both quite unrealistic. The location of the change-of-shift simulation was also unfamiliar so it needed to be supplemented. However, most of the nurses took for granted that such a communication education program is necessary and that it will provide a substantial help in their future job performance. In this regard they recommended the program to all related hospitals and nursing schools. Conclusion: The results of this study could be applied to other forms of communication education programs regardless of the specific area where communication takes place.

In this paper, we propose a QoS information collection method at the information server in maritime networks with multi-network interfaces, and a route selection scheme based of the measured predictive QoS information comparing with parameters requested from a mobile node in a ship entering into a harbor from near-shore area. By changing network conditions and applying various application bandwidths, we check the operation of our proposed scheme and measure its performance of the original and proposed schemes in the viewpoints of the received packet traffic and end-to-end delays.

Wireless network systems provide fast data transmission rates and various services to users of mobile devices such as smartphones and smart pads. Because many people use high-performance mobile devices, the use of real-time multimedia services is increasing rapidly. However, the preoccupation of resources by real-time traffic users is causing harm to other services-for example, frequent call interference, lowered service quality, and poor network performance. This paper suggests a resource allocation algorithm for effective traffic service support in a hybrid network. The main objective is to obtain an optimum value of data rates by comparing user requirements with the amount of resources that can be allocated. A new mechanism based on Adaptive-Quality of Service (QoS) and a monitoring system based on Queue-Aware are proposed. Adaptive-QoS supports effective resource control according to the type of traffic service, and the monitoring system based on Queue-Aware measures the amount of resources in order to calculate the maximum that can be allocated. We apply our algorithm to a test system and use Qualnet 4.5.1 to evaluate its performance.

4G 네트워크로 불라는 차세대 네트워크는 All IP 기반으로 구성되며 여기서는 다양한 특성을 갖는 네트워크 간의 통합이 이루어질 것으로 예측된다. 이러한 4G 네트워크에서의 동종 혹은 이종 망간의 이동 단말의 끊김없는 이동성 제공이 중요한 요소 기술 중 하나로 간주된다. 이동성 제공을 위해 IETF 워킹 그룹에서는 Mobile IP (MIP) 기술을 제안하였고, 차세대 네트워크에서 중요한 역할을 수행할 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 MIP 기술은 이동 단말의 매크로 이동성 (macro mobility)을 지원하기 위해 제안되었기 때문에 긴 핸드오버 지연 시간에 따른 패킷 손실 및 성능 저하를 초래하는 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서 차세대 네트워크에서 이동 단말의 이종 망 핸드오버를 지원하기 위해서는 기존 구축된 네트워크와의 호환성을 제공해 주는 것과 동시에 끊김없는 연결성을 제공해 주는 기법이 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 이종 망간의 이동 단말의 움직임에도 끊김없는 연결성을 제공해 줄 수 있는 핸드오버 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 공통 네트워크 인터페이스로 설계되어 사용되는 무선 기술에 상관없이 투명한 서비스를 IP/MIP 레이어에 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 시스템을 바탕으로 약결합 네트워크 기반의 cdma2000/무선랜 설험 네트워크를 구축하여 이동 단말의 버티컬 핸드오버 성능을 측정한다. 측정한 핸드오버 성능을 바탕으로 제안한 시스템이 기존 코어 네트워크 및 IP/MIP 레이어 수정없이 여러 이종 망간의 핸드오버 시에 끊김없는 서비스를 이동 단말에게 제공해 준다는 것을 보여준다.

Traffic performance in a microcellular system is much more affected by cell dwell time and channel holding time in each cell. Cell dwell time of a call is characterized by its mobility pattern, i.e., stochastic changes of moving speed and direction. Cell dwell time provides important information for other analyses on traffic performance such as channel holding time, handover rate, and the average number of handovers per call. In the next generation mobile communication system, the cell size is expected to be much smaller than that of current one to accommodate the increase of user demand and to achieve high bandwidth utilization. As the cell size gets small, traffic performance is much more affected by variable mobility of users, especially by that of pedestrians. In previous work, analytical models are based on simple probability models. They provide sufficient accuracy in a simple second-generation cellular system. However, the role of them is becoming invalid in a picocellular environment where there are rapid change of network traffic conditions and highly random mobility of pedestrians. Unlike in previous work, we propose an improved probability model evolved from so-called Random walk model in order to mathematically formulate variable mobility of pedestrians and analyze the traffic performance. With our model, we can figure out variable characteristics of pedestrian mobility with stochastic correlation. The above-mentioned traffic performance measures are analyzed using our model.

Proxy Mobile IP in IETF is a network-based mobility management scheme to solve the problem of host-based mobility management scheme, Mobile IP. PMIP shows the better performance in the aspect of mobility, but PMIP, as a legacy of Mobile IP based on "best effort service", lacks of consideration of QoS. In this thesis, a novel mobility support scheme is proposed for mobility and QoS support based on PMIP in MPLS networks.

In this paper, we suggest criteria for objective measurement of speech quality in mobile VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services over wireless mobile internet such as mobile WiMAX networks. This is the case that voice communication service is available under other networks. When mobile VoIP service users in the mobile internet network based on packet call up PSTN and mobile network users, but there have not been relevant quality indexes and quality standards for evaluating speech quality of mobile VoIP. In addition, there are many factors influencing on the speech quality in packet network. Especially, if the degraded speech with packet loss transfers to the other network users through the handover, voice communication quality is significantly deteriorated by the transformation of speech codecs. In this paper, we eventually adopt the Gilbert-Elliot channel model to characterize packet network and assess the voice quality through the objective speech quality method of ITU-T P. 862. 1 MOS-LQO for the various call scenario from mobile VoIP service user to PSTN and mobile network users under various packet loss rates in the transmission channel environments. Our simulation results show that transformation of speech codecs results in the degraded speech quality for different transmission channel environments when mobile VoIP service users call up PSTN and mobile network users.
