Access networks connected in B3G networks provide its property network service. Hence, though mobile users may utilize only a network service from an access network, they can also use variety of network services from several access networks for their service satisfaction. To support heterogeneous changeable network service in access networks, the mobile terminal must implement heterogeneous system techniques so that it is able to change the network service by ISHO (Inter-System Handover) In this paper, we present the ISHO condition by the policy-based framework in B3G networks. Also, we propose an ISHO scheme to control network resources for the QoS management of a mobile session between UMTS and WLAN access networks. To support the QoS management, the proposed scheme is that it will be implemented before the resource exhaustion occurs to effect network performances.

By the newly emerging network access technology, we face the new heterogeneous network environment. Focusing on the co-existence of multiple access network technology and the complex service needs of users, the wireless service operators should present the stable service quality for every user. For this, the service operators should build the new operation framework which combine the pre-established network and newly adopted one. Our problem is finding the optimal heterogeneous network operation framework. We suggest market-based marginal cost function for evaluating the relative value of resource of each network and develop the whole new heterogeneous network operation framework. To test the applicability of developed operation framework, we build large-scale JAVA simulator. By this development, we can easily test the new network environment in practical engineering field.

Future wireless network aims to integrate different radio access networks (RANs) to provide a seamless access and service continuity. In this paper, a new resource denotation method is proposed in the WLAN and LTE heterogeneous networks based on a concept of spectral bandwidth mapping. This method simplifies the denotation of system resources and makes it possible to calculate system residual capacity, upon which an economic model-based network selection algorithm is designed in both under-loaded and over-loaded scenarios in the heterogeneous networks. The simulation results show that this algorithm achieves better performance than the utility function-based access selection (UFAS) method proposed in [12] in increasing system capacity and system revenue, achieving load balancing and reducing the new call blocking probability in the heterogeneous networks.

Recently, mobile devices have supported wireless LAN as well as bluetooth, where the services such as heterogeneous network access and seamless mobility connection are important. Even though the mobility and physical network might be varied, an efficient communication mechanism for the network access and a robust mobility management of mobile devices are needed. In this paper, we design and implement a Bluetooth system with mobile LAN access capability. The proposed system has the following features; 1) IP connection is enabled by BENP in the link layer, 2) The networks devices of heterogeneous mobile devices are integrated into a single virtual network interface, 3) IP mobility between the bluetooth and wireless LAN is supported by mobile IP. The experimented results show that the packet loss and delay time during the handover duration is reduced by predicting the handover among different networks followed by the setup of any required parameters in advance.

신규 무선 네트워크 기술의 발전은 현재의 단일 네트워크 위주의 구성을 가진 무선 서비스 사업자에 새로운 다중 네트워크 (Heterogeneous Network) 환경을 맞이하게 하였다. 또한 무선 통신 사용자 수는 계속적인 증가추세에 있고 사용자들이 원하는 서비스의 종류 또한 계속적으로 다양해지고 있으며 사용자가 기대하는 서비스의 질과 수준 역시 높아지고 있다. 이에 무선 서비스 사업자들은 사용자들의 높아진 서비스 품질을 만족시키고 새로운 형태의 서비스를 안정적으로 공급하며, 현재의 네트워크와 신규 네트워크의 조화로운 운용을 위해 새로운 형태의 운용 구조 (Operation Framework)를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크간의 비용/효용에 대한 한계 비용 (Marginal Cost) 산정 기법을 도입하여 서비스에 따른 최적 네트워크 운용 기법에 대해 논술한다.

Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) refers to the virtualization of base station functionalities by means of cloud computing. This results in a novel cellular architecture in which low-cost wireless access points, known as radio units or remote radio heads, are centrally managed by a reconfigurable centralized "cloud", or central, unit. C-RAN allows operators to reduce the capital and operating expenses needed to deploy and maintain dense heterogeneous networks. This critical advantage, along with spectral efficiency, statistical multiplexing and load balancing gains, make C-RAN well positioned to be one of the key technologies in the development of 5G systems. In this paper, a succinct overview is presented regarding the state of the art on the research on C-RAN with emphasis on fronthaul compression, baseband processing, medium access control, resource allocation, system-level considerations and standardization efforts.

스마트폰의 급격한 보급에 따른 무선 접속망의 과부하 문제가 네트워크에서 중요한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 매크로 셀, 펨토 셀, 와이파이 접속망으로 다양하게 구성되어 있는 현재 이종 네트워크에서 접속망 과부하 문제를 해결하기 위한 최적의 셀 선정 기법과 리소스 할당 기법을 제안한다. 주어진 현재 서비스 부하 상태에서 네트워크가 동시에 추가 수용할 수 있는 사용자 수를 최대화할 수 있는 사용자-셀 간의 선정 기법을 제공한다. 이를 위해 이종 무선 접속망에서의 셀 선정 문제를 이진 정수계획 모형으로 최적화 문제를 수립하고, 이를 최적화 해법 도구를 이용하여 접속망 과부하를 억제할 수 있는 최적의 셀 선정 기법을 도출한다. 네트워크 레벨 시뮬레이션을 통해 이 논문에서 제안된 기법이 현재 무선 접속망에서 주로 사용되고 있는 국소적 셀 선정기법에 비해, 과부하가 걸린 무선 접속망에서 주어진 여러 셀들을 최대한 균등하게 효율적으로 활용함으로써 현저하게 네트워크 접속 장애율을 감소시킬 수 있음을 보인다. 또한 논문에서 사용된 이진 정수계획 모형의 최적화 문제를 푸는 데 소요되는 계산 복잡도에 대한 실험을 통해 제안된 알고리즘의 실용 가능성에 대해서 검증한다.

본 논문은 멀티 호밍 기반의 프록시 바인딩 갱신 (Proxy binding update)을 이용하여 이동 노드가 다른 종류의 무선 액세스 망으로 이동할 때 발생하는 수직적 핸드오버 (Vertical handover) 지연 및 그에 따른 패킷 손실을 최소화하는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안 방안에서 다중 인터페이스를 가지는 이동 단말이 이종 액세스 망으로 이동할 경우 기존의 인터페이스를 통한 네트워크 연결을 유지한 채 새로운 인터페이스를 이용해 미리 3계층 핸드오버를 수행함으로써 빠르고 끊김 없는 핸드오버가 가능하다. 제안된 프록시 바인딩 갱신이 Mobile IP의 바인딩 갱신과 다른 점은 바인딩 갱신 메시지에 자신의 인터페이스가 아닌 이전 액세스 망과 통신하고 있는 인터페이스의 홈 주소 (Home address)를 사용한다는 점이다. 성능 분석 결과 제안된 수직적 핸드오버 기법이 핸드오버 지연 및 패킷 손실을 효율적으로 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper introduces the mobility-adaptive QoE provisioning solution. The key is placed on the intelligent selection of access network depending on the QoE criteria classified by the user mobility and the bandwidth demand for service. We further focus on the network-based smart handover scheme using the mobility-adaptive handover decision and the enhanced MIH-FMIP framework. The concept is the network-based calm service and the balance in order to facilitate vertical and seamless handover. In result, it is figured out that our solution improves QoE performance by selecting appropriate access network, repressing handover occurrence, and reducing handover delay as well.

In this paper, we deal with the problem of M2M gateways' network selection for different types of M2M traffic in heterogeneous wireless networks. Based on the difference in traffic's quality of service (QoS) requirements, the M2M traffic produced by various applications is mainly classified as two categories: flexible traffic and rigid traffic. Then, game theory is adopted to solve the problem of network-channel selection with the coexistence of flexible and rigid traffic, named as flexible network access (FNA). We prove the formulated discrete game is a potential game. The existence and feasibility of the Nash equilibrium (NE) of the proposed game are also analyzed. Then, an iterative algorithm based on optimal reaction criterion and a distributed algorithm with limited feedback based on learning automata are presented to obtain the NE of the proposed game. In simulations, the proposed iterative algorithm can achieve a near optimal sum utility of whole network with low complexity compared to the exhaustive search. In addition, the simulation results show that our proposed algorithms outperform existing methods in terms of sum utility and load balance.
