In order to ensure the wireless connectivity and seamless service to mobile users, the next generation network system will be an integration of multiple wireless access networks. In a heterogeneous wireless access system, bandwidth allocation becomes crucial for load balancing to avoid network congestion and improve system utilization efficiency. In this article, we propose a new dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for hierarchical wireless network systems. First, we derive a multi-objective decision criterion for each access point. Second, a bargaining strategy selection algorithm is developed for the dynamic bandwidth re-allocation. Based on the intervenient Stackelberg game model, the proposed scheme effectively formulates the competitive interaction situation between several access points. The system performance of proposed scheme is evaluated by using extensive simulations. With a simulation study, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme can achieve better performance than other existing schemes under widely diverse network environments.

Any future heterogeneous overlay network system must be able to support ubiquitous access across multiple wireless networks. To coordinate these diverse network environments, one challenging task is a call admission decision among different types of network. In this paper, we propose a new call admission control scheme to provide quality of service (QoS) while ensuring system efficiency. Based on the interplay between network structure and dynamics, we estimate the network's QoS level and adjust the service price adaptively with the aim of maximizing the network performance. A simulation shows that the proposed scheme can approximate an optimized solution while ensuring a well-balanced network performance in widely different network environments.

Due to growing demand on wireless data traffic, a large number of different types of base stations (BSs) have been installed. However, space-time dependent wireless data traffic densities can result in a significant number of idle BSs, which implies the waste of power resources. To deal with this problem, we propose an active state control algorithm based on semi-Markov decision process (SMDP) for a heterogeneous network. A MDP in discrete time domain is formulated from continuous domain with some approximation. Suboptimal on-line learning algorithm with a random policy is proposed to solve the problem. We explicitly include coverage constraint so that active cells can provide the same signal to noise ratio (SNR) coverage with a targeted outage rate. Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm properly controls the active state depending on traffic densities without increasing the number of handovers excessively while providing average user perceived rate (UPR) in a more power efficient way than a conventional algorithm.

With proliferation of diverse network access technologies, users demands are also increasing and service providers are offering a Quality of Service (QoS) to satisfy their customers. In roaming, a mobile node (MN) traverses number of available networks in the heterogeneous wireless networks environment and a single operator is not capable to fulfill the demands of user. It is crucial task for MN for selecting a best network from the list of networks at any time anywhere. A MN undergoes a network selection situation frequently when it is becoming away from the home network. Multiple Attribute Group Decision (MAGD) method will be one of the best ways for selecting target network in heterogeneous wireless networks (4G). MAGD network selection process is predominantly dependent on two steps, i.e., attribute weight, decision maker's (DM's) weight and aggregation of opinion of DMs. This paper proposes Multi-Attribute Intuitionistic Fuzzy Group Decision Method (MAIFGDM) using TOPSIS for the selection of the suitable candidate network. It is scalable and is able to handle any number of networks with large set of attributes. This is a method of lower complexity and is useful for real time applications. It gives more accurate result because it uses Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFS) with an additional parameter intuitionistic fuzzy index or hesitant degree. MAIFGDM is simulated in MATLAB for its evaluation. A comparative study of MAIFDGM is also made with TOPSIS and Fuzzy-TOPSIS in respect to decision delay. It is observed that MAIFDGM have low values of decision time in comparison to TOPSIS and Fuzzy-TOPSIS methods.

With the increasing growth of Internet and wireless IP networks, Multimedia systems need to be envisaged as information resources where users can access anywhere and anytime. However, efficient services in these multimedia systems are open and challenging research problem due to user mobility, limited resources in wireless devices and expensive radio bandwidth. To implement multimedia services over heterogeneous network, the IP header compression scheme can be used for saving bandwidth. In this paper, we present an efficient solution for header compression, which is modified form of ECRTP. It shows an architectural framework adopting modified ECRTP when IP tunneling network using GRE over IPSec is implemented. We have conducted simulations in order to analyze the effects of different header compression techniques while delivering real-time services to the wireless access network through secured IP Network. The impacts on performance have been investigated through a series of experiments.

Wireless 1394 over IEEE802.15.3 must allow a data reserved for delivery over a wired 1394 network to be delivered over an IEEE802.15.3 wireless network through bridging IEEE 1394 to IEEE802.15.3. Isochronous transfers on the 1394 bus guarantee timely delivery of data. Specifically, isochronous transfers are scheduled by the bus so that they occur once every $125\;{\mu}s$ and require clock time synchronization to complete the real-time data transfer. IEEE1394.1 and Protocol Adaptation Layer for IEEE1394 over IEEE802.15.3 specify clock time synchronization for a wired 1394 bus network to a wired 1394 bus network and wireless 1394 nodes, which are IEEE802.15.3 nodes handling 1394 applications, over IEEE802.15.3. Thus, the clock time synchronizations are just defined within a homogeneous network environment like IEEE1394 or IEEE802.15.3 until now. This paper proposes new clock time synchronization method for wireless 1394 heterogeneous networks between 1394 and 802.15.3. If new method is adopted for various wireless 1394 products, consumer electronics devices such as DTV and Set-top Box or PC devices on a 1394 bus network can transmit real time data to the AV devices on the other 1394 bus in a different place via IEEE 802.15.3.

Offering of different attractive opportunities by different wireless technologies trends the convergence of heterogeneous networks for the future wireless communication system. To make a seamless handover among the heterogeneous networks, the optimization of the power consumption, and optimal selection of interface are the challenging issues. The access of multi interfaces simultaneously reduces the handover latency and data loss in heterogeneous handover. The mobile node (MN) maintains one interface connection while other interface is used for handover process. However, it causes much battery power consumption. In this paper we propose an efficient interface selection scheme including interface selection algorithms, interface selection procedures considering battery power consumption and user mobility with other existing parameters for overlaying networks. We also propose a priority based network selection scheme according to the service types. MN‘s battery power level, provision of QoS/QoE and our proposed priority parameters are considered as more important parameters for our interface selection algorithm. The performances of the proposed scheme are verified using numerical analysis.

차세대 네트워크 환경은 유선과 무선, 방송과 통신, 음성과 데이터의 융합을 고려한 통합망 형태로 진화하고 있다. 특히, 인터넷 프로토콜(IP) 기반의 코어 네트워크(Core network)를 중심으로 다양한 접속기술을 갖는 서로 다른 이기종(Heterogeneous) 접속망이 존재하는 환경에서 대용량의 멀티미디어 서비스들을 언제, 어디서나, 이동 중에도 끊김 없이 제공받고자 하는 사용자의 요구 또한 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 융합 서비스 관리자로서 유비쿼터스 식별자(UID)를 사용하여 통합된 식별체계와 인증 및 과금을 지원하고 통합 프로파일 관리를 통하여 사용자 정보를 서비스 제공자에게 제공하는 알고리즘을 구현 단말이 이동되는 경우에도 융합 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 제시한다.

무선 네트워크기술의 발전으로 사용자들은 다양한 네트워크를 쉽게 사용하며 다양한 서비스를 이용할 수 있지만, 서비스 제공자들은 서비스의 질을 개선하고 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 관리하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 그레이 관계 분석(GRA)과 게임이론을 결합하여 효율 무선자원관리(RRM) 방안을 제시한다. 첫 번째 단계에서, GRA 방법을 이용하여 네트워크 선호도를 나타내는 GRC를 구하고, 두 번째 단계에서는 내쉬 균형점을 찾아 네트워크 제공자에게 최대 보상을 제공하는 서비스를 선택한다. 한 개의 WiMAX와 2개의 WLAN이 공존하는 이종 무선 환경에서, 4개의 응용서비스중 하나를 요청하는 서비스들을 처리하기 위해 게임은 반복적으로 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, WiMAX, WLAN 1과 WLAN 2의 게임에서, 각 경기자들은 각각 93, 90.6과 92.8로 최대 보수를 얻는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로 제안된 시스템은 이종 네트워크에서 사용자 서비스 요청이 있을 때, 네트워크 운용자의 보수를 최대로 할 수 있는 효과적인 자원관리 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

무선 인터넷 서비스 특히 PDA, 스마트 폰과 같이 이동성이 높은 무선 단말들의서비스가 활성화 되면서 현재 많은 사용자들은 공간에 제약 없이 다양한 인터넷 서비스들을 사용할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 사용자가 다양한 무선네트워크를 사용함에 따라 서로 다른 네트워크를 이동 할 경우 이기종 간의 네트워크에서 핸드오버를 지원할 수 있는 기술이 미흡하기 때문에 네트워크 설정에 있어 많은 제약이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 PMIPv6에서 IEEE8 02.21 MIH를 활용하여 이 기종 네트워크간의 핸드오버를 지원하고 핸드오버 지연시간을 단축할 수 있는 기법을 제안하고, 제안 기법에 대하여 저속과 고속에서의 이동성을 바탕으로 성능 평가하여, 기존의 PMIPv6 에서의 핸드오버 지연시간에 대하여 26%의 지연시간 단축을 통해 향상된 성능을 확인하였으며 손실되는 데이터 역시 최대 90% 이상 줄일 수 있었다.
