The objective of this paper is to provide service continuity based on an efficient subchannel allocation in OFDMA systems. The resource management for handover are necessary to maintain the QoS requirements of different multimedia applications because the service continuity may be defected by some delay and information loss. Therefore we propose two subchannel management schemes applied to OFDMA systems. Firstly, a superposition allocation of interference subchannels is achieved by modifying a frequency reuse scheme, using co-subchannel interference principle. Secondly for handover applications, we suggest a novel subchannel reservation scheme to adjust the number of allocated channels, depending on the different characteristics and diverse quality of mobile multimedia applications. Simulation results show that the total throughput for the proposed method is increased up to 20% at average and peak arrivals and the handover failure rate is decreased to about 25%, as compared to the conventional method.

In this paper, we propose and analyze the optimized sleep mode for a mobile node (MN) in IEEE 802.16e wireless metropolitan area networks. Because a MN in a sleep mode specified in 802.16e specification should maintain state information with the base station currently attached, it must renew sleep state with a new base station after handover which leads to unnecessary waste of battery power. Noting that the mobility pattern of a MN is independent of call arrival patterns, we propose an optimized sleep mode to eliminate unnecessary standby period of a MN in sleep state after handover. We also propose an analytical model for the proposed scheme in terms of power consumption and the initial call response time. Simulation studies that compare the performance between the sleep mode and the optimized sleep mode show that our scheme marginally increases initial call response delay with the huge reduction in power consumption.

This paper proposes a fast authentication scheme based on hierarchical key structure (HiFA) for roaming mobile nodes in both intra-domain and inter-domain. The full authentication procedure standardized in IEEE 802.11 and 802.16 is difficult to be applied to a handover since it needs a heavy operation and long delay time during a handover. Though a number of schemes were proposed to solve the problem, the existing schemes might degrade the security of authentication or impose heavy administrative burden on the Pome authentication server. The main contribution of this paper is to reduce the communication and computation overhead of the home authentication sewer without degrading the security strength of the fast roaming authentication using hierarchical authentication key structure. The proposed scheme iii this paper decentralizes the administrative burden of the home authentication server to other network entities such as a local authentication server or access point and supports the security separation of the authentication key among local authentication servers using hash key chain.

In the conventional centralized mobility management schemes, it can lead to single points of failure, occurrence of a bottleneck, since all data and control are concentrated on the mobility anchor which is located in home network. In the current research of distributed mobility management, it is doing research into distributed mobility management which is supported by distributed mobility anchors. Such schemes do not consider a failure of the mobility anchor. However, it could be an issue under tactical environment since it occur non-service problem due to anchor movement, maintenance, failure, etc. In this paper, we proposed new DMM scheme named T-DMM(Tactical-Distributed Mobility Management) which can support handover even if mobility anchor breaks down. From the numerical analysis, we evaluate signaling cost and handover latency.

As the demand on ubiquitous communication increases, global roaming and vertical handover will be prevailing in the near future. Since this environment is accompanied by the frequent handovers at remote sites, a scalable and fast authentication becomes prerequisite for ubiquitous communication. In this paper, we suggest a framework for scalable and fast authentication, using hierarchical caching based on general trust relationship among domains. At the end, we show that the proposed scheme achieves reduced authentication delay and network overhead through an analytic method with fluid flow model.

이기종 네트워크들이 계층적인 구조로 결합되어 있는 오버레이 네트워크 환경에서 이동 단말(Mobile Terminal:MT)의 끊김없는 이동성 지원을 위해서는, 패킷 손실 및 호 단절 현상을 최소화할 수 있는 최적의 핸드오버 시점을 결정할 수 있어야 한다. 기존의 수직적 핸드오버 기법은, 단순히 MT의 위치 정보를 바탕으로 핸드오버 수행을 예측하고 결정하였다. 하지만 이 기법은, MT의 위치와 관계없이 네트워크의 과부하로 인한 패킷 손실 및 호 단절 현상이 발생할 수 있기 때문에, 네트워크의 과부하에 따른 핸드오버 시점을 간과하는 문제점을 노출하였다. 하루가 다르게 인터넷 트래픽이 급증하는 현실에서, 네트워크의 과부하를 고려하는 핸드오버 기법이 필요한 때이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 MT의 위치와 네트워크의 부하를 모두 고려하여 핸드오버 시점을 결정할 수 있는 핸드오버 맵(Handover-Map:H-Map)의 개념을 제안한다. 그리고 핸드오버 동기화 현상을 최소화하기 위해 향상된 H-Map을 기반으로 차별화된 핸드오버 시점을 부여하는 VAH(Vertical handover on Advanced H-Map) 기법을 소개하고, 이의 성능을 기존기법과 비교한다.

Interconnecting wireless local area networks (WLANs) with third generation (3G) cellular networks has become an issue of great interest. However, a Vertical Handover (VHO) causes an abrupt change in link bandwidth. Due to such a change, TCP triggers unnecessary fast retransmission during a Downward VHO (DVHO) from a cellular network to a WLAN, causing throughput degradation. Thus, we propose a new reordering mechanism for DVHO that suppresses unnecessary retransmission due to the spurious duplicate acknowledgments. We analytically investigate the throughput of TCP in the literature and our proposed scheme. Through the numerical and simulation results, it is shown that our proposed TCP achieves better performance in terms of throughput, compared with Nodupack with SACK.

With the development of high-speed railway technologies, train velocities can now reach speeds up to 350 km/h, and higher in the future. In high-speed railway systems (HSRs), loss of communication can result in serious accidents, especially when the train is controlled through wireless communications. For to this reason, operators of Long Term Evolution for Railway (LTE-R) communication systems install eNodeBs (eNBs) with high density to achieve highly reliable communications. However, densely located eNBs can result in unnecessary frequent handovers (HOs) resulting in instability because, during every HO process, there is a period of time in which the communication link is disconnected. To solve this problem, in this paper, an HO scheme based on the maximum cell residence time (CRT) and adaptive time to trigger (aTTT), which are collectively called CaT, is proposed to reduce unnecessary HOs (using CRT estimations) and decrease HO failures by improving the handover command transmission point (HCTP) in LTE-R HSR communications.

In this paper, we use WiMedia WLP-based networks to meet the demand for IT services of a ship. If a mobile node moves to a congested base station of a new subnetwork, we will propose a scheme for improving performance of radio link of existing communicating mobile nodes. An old base station denotes packets stored during a handover. And, a proposed buffer management determines to discard the buffered packets in accordance with congestion degree at the congested new base station. Simulation results show that the proposed buffer management scheme improves link utilization in congested wireless links.
