In the roaming case, the cost of using the visited network is larger than that of home network. So, if a mobile terminal is connected to the visited network, even though it actually came back to the home network, the user may unduly pay for communication. Such a problem frequently occurs when many networks are overlapped in the same region, as shown in the case of Poland. In this paper, we propose a network search algorithm to support the fast comeback to home network in the roaming environment. In the proposed scheme, which is based on the 3GPP specification, the mobile terminal tries to search the home network by using a database of network information, as fast as possible. For performance evaluation, we construct a virtual testbed with real terminal and network equipment to emulate the service providers in Poland. From the experimental results, we can see that the proposed scheme can reduce the time of comeback to the home network by 3~60 minutes, compared the existing 3GPP scheme.

There are increasing interests on smart home systems. However, most of the existing works focus on the functionality itself. In this paper, we propose an extensible smart home system based on low power networking such as CoAP, 6LoWPAN, and Zigbee. The proposed home IoT system consists of Home APP, Home Server, Home Broker, and Power Devices. Each component of the system is connected by the low-power network technologies aforementioned. As the end device, Power Device senses the current consumption of the attached appliance and controls the power to it. Power Device reports the sensing data to Home Server via Home Broker. The Home Broker enhances the scalability of the system. Home Broker extends the service area and the user's services, and it manages the connection of the underlying devices and processes, and transmits data to Home Server from Power Devices. Through the experimental evaluation, we show that the proposed system achieves the design goals such as extensibility and low power networking.

In this paper, we designed the authentication system for home network service and applied it to actual sensor nodes. The pair-wise pre-distribution key skim is applied for prevention of authentication key from sniffing on the wireless sensor networks. The authentication key and data are encrypted by using the CBC mode RC5 algorithm based on the SPINS. The experimental environment consists of a base station (BS)and sensor nodes and each sensor node sends both sensing data and the encrypted authentication key to the BS. For simulations we set up some what-if scenarios of security menaces in home network service.Slightly modified the TOS_Msg data arrays of TinyOS is suggested to store 8-byte authentication key which can enable data encryption and authentication at the each sensor node. As a result, malfunction caused by communication between BS and nodes of other groups of added nodes having malicious purpose can be protected. Also, we confirmed that a critical data of home networking service like vital signal can be transmitted securely through this system by encryption technique.

Due to the development of digital appliance, role of TV causes both-way by introducing IPTV, and SNS service causes big change of watching environment and residence environment. There are good conditions on the role of integrated control because it is arranged in the living room which secures movement most effectively and because family members can easily use, and the degree of use is high. Therefore, we infer user's needs by analyzing user scenario and current role of TV in home network environment. Primarily, we collect surveys of development scenario and technology which companies suggest TV applied by home network service, and secondly, we comparatively study scenario which the companies mentioned above suggest through observing user scenario, and study the role of IPTV in the future through actual scenario-based experiment by ethnography. After analyzing user scenario through case study and experiment, there are integrated device studies mainly in company study because it can be made up inside home, security and entertainment. On the other hand, there are patterns of user behavior by scenario experiment mainly in auto-tainment, security, and it showed that it is insufficient for interaction between TV and home media peripheral. Through this paper, we analyze context of home user, and based on this, we could suggest effective use of service development. Also after analyzing user form, we could know it also should be considered of ratio between activity inside home and activity outside home.

In this paper, we have presented the results of Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) field trial test which was held in the city of Gwangju. We have implemented an injection locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode (FP-LD) based WDM-PON system and reliably delivered Internet Protocol TV (IP-TV), networked Personal Video Recorder (N-PVR), High-Definition Video on Demand (HD-VoD), Education on Demand (EoD) and Internet service as FTTH service through the system during the field trial test. We have also verified that the WDM-PON system worked well to provide quality of service (QoS) guaranteed 100Mbps bandwidth per subscriber. Furthermore, we have presented network designing issues in Outside Plant (OSP) and Customer Premises Network (CPN) that should be overcome to efficiently deploy FTTH service. Finally, based on the field trial test results, we proposed FTTH service deployment strategies.

The handoff in IEEE 802.11 WLAN is a hard handoff. In hard handoff, a station has to stop the communication. As a result, the station is likely to miss some packets that arrival during the handoff process. To recover these lost packets, buffer-and-forward scheme is used. But, buffer-and-forward scheme is not efficient for real time service. In this paper, we propose new handoff scheme for real time service in home network based WLAN. The scheme uses priority queue which is recommended in IEEE 802.lie, and priority of priority queue is given to real time handoff calls. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme reduces traffic loss and transmission sequence error.

The ZigBee network has been considered to monitor electricity usage of home appliances in the smart grid network. ZigBee, however, may suffer from a coexistence problem with wireless local area network (WLAN). In this paper, to resolve the coexistence problem between ZigBee network and WLAN, we propose a new protocol constructing a cognitive smart grid network for supporting monitoring of home appliances. In the proposed protocol, home appliances first estimates the transmission timing and channel information of WLAN by reading request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) frames of WLAN. Next, based on the estimated information, home appliances transmit a data at the same time as WLAN transmission. To manage the interference between WLAN and smart grid network, we propose a cognitive beamforming algorithm. The beamforming algorithm is designed to guaranteeing zero interference to WLAN while satisfying a required rate for smart metering. We also propose an energy efficient rate adaptation algorithm. By slowing down the transmission rate while satisfying an imperceptible impact of quality of service (QoS) of the receiver, the home appliance can significantly save transmit power. Numerical results show that the proposed multiple antenna technique provides reliable communications for smart metering with reduced power comparing to the simple transmission technique.

In this paper we design and implement a management framework base on JMX to control and manage ubiquitous home networks. To do this, we organize the ubiquitous home network test-bed that consists of information electronics and sensor devices. In the test-bed network, we implement the management framework which can control and manage various applications and devices in home network environment. In addition, it can also define and add new services easily. Moreover, it is possible to provide various management interfaces with multi-protocols. The framework is formed to integrate legacy management systems readily.
