In this paper, we propose a method that wireless mobile nodes can obtain high throughput in heterogeneous wireless networks using multiple connections and it has low packet loses under handover situation. Currently, a mobile node exchanges data with server for one network connection. The proposed method can use high throughput because it doesn't only use one network(WLAN, 3G, etc.) but also use multiple wireless networks. When mobile nodes move to area to use multiple connection, mobile nodes request heterogeneous wireless networks using multiple connections message from the server and the server transmit packets using multiple connections. Also, this method doesn't disconnect previous networks, so packets losses are decreased. Using the NS-2 simulation, we verify that the propose method enhances throughput.

This paper proposes a proactive authentication scheme using credentials based on chameleon hashing in MIH environments. There is a proactive authentication structure defined by IEEE 802.21 Security Study Group for the link access in MIH environment. Both schemes based on EAP and on PKI can be applied to such structure, but the former has caused network traffic due to the complicated authentication procedure and the latter has complex structure for managing certificates. The proposed scheme performs the proactive authentication procedure only between a mobile node and a MIH Key Holder by using credentials based on chameleon hashing. Our scheme reduces the network traffic since authentication with the server is unnecessary in MIH environment and PKI structure is not required as well. In addition, the proposed scheme provides secure PFS and PBS features owing to the authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange of the chameleon-based credential.

Ultra wide band (UWB) technology will be applied in the high rare wireless personal area networks (WPANs) for its high rate, low power, and innate immunity to multipath fading. In this paper, a power aware multi-hop packet relay MAC protocol in UWB based WPANs is proposed and a power aware path status factor (PAPSF), which is derived from SINR and power resource condition of each device, is used to select a suitable relay node. Compared with relaying by piconet coordinator (PNC), which is easily chosen by other ad hoc routing protocol, the new scheme can achieve hi임or throughput, decrease the time required for transmitting high power signal and we can easily distribute the battery power consumption from PNC to other devices in the piconet to prevent the PNC device using up its battery too fast and finally avoid PNC handover too frequently.

Next-generation wireless/mobile networks are envisioned to have an IP-based infrastructure. One of the research challenges for next-generation all IP-based networks is the design of intelligent mobility management technologies that have a seamless mobility and minimal signaling overhead. Recently, HMIPv6 was proposed by the IETF for efficient mobility management. HMIPv6 reduces the amount of signaling and improves the performance of MIPv6 in terms of handover latency. However the MAP can be a single point of performance bottleneck when there are a lot of local movements. HMIPv6 can cause signaling overhead due to the unnecessary location update of idle mobile nodes. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the dynamic paging Mobile IPv6 that reduces the signaling cost of the unnecessary location updates using IP paging and organizes dynamically optimal MAP area according to user's mobility and traffic. We show performance results that are obtained from the average total location update cost and packet delivery cost.

Start Ongoing next generation networks are expected to be deployed over current existing networks, in the form of overlayed heterogeneous networks, in particular, in hot spot areas. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop an interworking technique such as load balancing, to achieve increased overall resource utilization in the various heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we present a new load balancing mechanism termed 'soft' load balancing where the IP(Internet Protocol) traffic of a user is divided into sub-traffic, each of which flows into a different access network. The terminology of soft load balancing involves the use of both load sharing and handover techniques. Through a numerical analysis, we obtain an optimal LBR (Load Balancing Ratio) for determining the volume of traffic delivered to each network over an overlayed multi-cell environment. Using the optimal LBR, a more reliable channel transmission can be achieved by reducing the outage probability efficiently for a given user traffic.

In this paper, we propose a femtocell searching technique which can prevent a macrocell UE(user equipment) from losing synchronism to its serving macrocell near closed access femtocells in co-channel deployment due to the leakage of femtocell signals by using a CS(Common Signal). The CS, commonly transmitted by femtocells in a macrocell at the same time, enables the macrocell UEs to be kept synchronized with their serving macrocells since the CINR(Carrier to Interference and Noise Ratio) of base stations in macrocell can be kept high even near closed access femtocells. Also, the CS is designed in such a way that a macrocell UE can recognize the existence of femtocell by using the metric CSCINR(Common Signal Carrier to Interference and Ratio) measured with CS. In addition, the proposed femtocell searching technique can reduce the frequency of femtocell searching trial by using the metric on mobility of a macrocell UE defined in this paper, and the reduction of the frequency of handover trial can be also expected as a byproduct.

Recently, Proxy Mobile IPv6(PMIPv6) networks have been studied as the mobility management protocol to effectively use limited wireless resources. And the multicasting, which is core technology of the Internet broadcast system such as mobile IPTV, has been discussed mainly based on PMIPv6 network. However, multicasting based on PMIPv6 network causes disconnection of services because it does not solve problems of packet loss during binding and group joining procedure. Hence, we propose a seamless multicast scheme which prevents packet loss in PMIPv6 networks. The proposed scheme achieves lower latency than the existing scheme because it combines binding and group joining procedure, a1so it does not cause about packet losses due to performing buffering. We proved the performance using the simulations.

Vehicle ad hoc networks (VANET) are one of the most important technologies to provide various ITS services. While VANET requires rapid and reliable transmission, packet transmission in VANET is unstable because of high mobility. Many routing protocols have been proposed and assessed to improve the efficiency of VANET. However, topology-based routing protocols generate heavy overhead and long delay, and position-based routing protocols have frequent packet loss due to inaccurate node position. In this paper, we propose a position-based routing repair algorithm to improve the efficiency of VANET. This algorithm is proposed based on the premise that AODV (-PGB) can be used effectively in VANET, if the discovery, maintenance and repair mechanism of AODV is optimized for the features of VANET. The main focus of this algorithm is that the relay node can determine whether its alternative node exits and judge whether the routing path is disconnected. If the relay node is about to swerve from the routing path in a multi-hop network, the node recognizes the possibility of path loss based on a defined critical domain. The node then transmits a handover packet to the next hop node, alternative nodes and previous node. The next node repairs the alternative path before path loss occurs to maintain connectivity and provide seamless service. We simulated protocols using both the ideal traffic model and the realistic traffic model to assess the proposed algorithm. The result shows that the protocols that include the proposed algorithm have fewer path losses, lower overhead, shorter delay and higher data throughput compared with other protocols in VANET.

OFDM(A) 기반 네트워크는 IEEE 802.16e 시스템 및 WiBro 시스템 등으로 구현되고 있으며, 4G 시스템과 같은 차세대 이동통신 시스템의 기반 기술로서 많이 연구되고 있는 시스템이다. 이와 같은 OFDM(A) 시스템을 기반으로 IP 네트워크를 구축하게 된다면, 단말의 핸드오버를 지원하기 위하여 MAC 및 IP 계층에서의 핸드오버 기법에 대한 정의가 필요하다. IP 네트워크의 가장 큰 특징은 CDMA와 같은 서킷 네트워크가 아니라 패킷 네트워크라는 것이다. 이러한 패킷기반 네트워크에서의 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 CDMA 네트워크에서 제공되고 있는 소프트 핸드오버 기법을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. CDMA 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 물리계층에서의 신호 결합을 수행하게 되는데 패킷 네트워크에서 두 기지국으로부터 전송되는 패킷은 MAC 및 IP 헤더를 가지게 되고, 헤더에 포함되는 정보는 각 기지국에서 서로 다르게 전송하므로 물리계층에서의 신호 결합을 수행할 수가 없다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 소프트 핸드오버 기법의 단점을 보완하고 IP 기반 네트워크에 적용 가능한 소프트 핸드오버 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 소프트 핸드오버 기법은 패킷 네트워크의 특성을 반영하여 소프트 핸드오버에 참여하는 기지국이 서로 다른 패킷을 전송하도록 디자인하였고, 에러 발생률을 낮추기 위하여 AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) 기법을 적용하였다. 또한 OFDM(A) 시스템의 multi-carrier 특성을 이용하여 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 사용함으로써 네트워크의 전체적인 성능 향상이 가능하도록 개발되었다.
