For mobile emergency broadcast service, first of all, we shall understand transmission characteristics of each mobile broadcast system which might be appled for it and then analyse of the related disaster (emergency) standards based on emergency characteristic own. In this paper, we propose a CAP-based emergency alert broadcasting system for ATSC Mobile DTV system which has been accepted for the mobile broadcasting system in USA. Since there is no standard for emergency broadcasting using ATSC mobile DTV until now, we analyze common alert protocol in USA and then we proposed Emergency Alert Protocol for ATSC Mobile DTV based on it. And we have designed and implemented our proposed system to verify the effectiveness of it. As a result we show the possibility of emergency alert broadcasting for ATSC Mobile DTV.

Purpose The emergence of mobile applications has simplified our life in various ways. Regarding tourism activities, mobile applications are already efficient in providing personalized tourism related information and are very much effective in booking hotels, flights, etc. However, there are very few studies on classifying the actual service requirements and improving the customer satisfaction in mobile tourism applications. The purpose of this study is to implement a practical mobile tourism application. To serve the purpose, we classify and categorize the service requirement of mobile tourism applications in Korea. We employed Kano model and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Specifically, we conducted a focus group study to find out the service requirements in mobile tourism applications. Design/methodology/approach The data for this study were collected from Koreans and Foreigners who has the experience using mobile tourism applications. Participants needed to be familiar with mobile tourism applications because such users may be more aware of the mobile tourism applications services. We analyzed 147 valid data using Kano model and conducted AHP analysis on five experts in the field of tourism using Expert Choice software. Findings In this paper, we identified the 17 service quality requirements in the mobile tourism applications. The results reveal that the service requirement such as Geo-location map, Multilingual option, Compatibility with different operating systems were unavoidable service, absent of such requirements leads to the dissatisfaction. Based on the results of the integrated application of both Kano model and AHP analysis, this study provide specific implications for improving the service quality of the mobile tourism applications in Korea.

Mobile IP is designed to provide IP services to roaming nodes. Mobile users take advantage of this protocol to obtain the services as if they were connected to their home network. In many cases mobile users is connected through a wireless link and is protected by corporation's firewall in virtual Private network. In order to have a successful deployment of Mobile IP as an extension of a private network, security services should be provided as if the mobile node were attached to its home network. In this paper, we propose the security mechanism of combining Mobile IP and IPSec tunnels, which can provide secure traversal of firewall in a home network. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism provides the secure and efficient communication.

Many researches are going on with regard to issues and problems related to mobile database systems, which are caused by the weak connectivity of wireless networks, the mobility and the Portability of mobile clients. Mobile computing satisfies user's demands for convenience and Performance to use information at any time and in any Place, but it has many Problems to be solved in the aspect of data management. The purpose of our study is to design Mobile Query Processing System(MQPS) to solve problems related to database hoarding, the maintenance of shared data consistency and the optimization of logging, which are caused by the weak connectivity and disconnection of wireless networks inherent in mobile database systems under mobile client-server environments. In addition, we proved the superiority of the proposed MQPS by comparing its performance to the C-I-S(Client-Intercept- Server) model.

Mobile IP is a solution to support mobile nodes, however, it does not handle NEtwork MObility (NEMO). The NEMO Basic Support (NBS) protocol ensures session continuity for all the nodes in the mobile network. Since the protocol is based on Mobile IP, it inherits the same fundamental problem such as tunnel convergence, when supporting the multicast for NEMO. In this paper, we propose the multicast route optimization scheme for NEMO environment. We assume that the Mobile Router (MR) has a multicast function and the Nested Mobile Router Information (NeMRI) table. The NeMRI is used to record o list of the CoAs of all the MRs located below it. And it covers whether MRs desire multicast services. Any Route Optimization (RO) scheme can be employed here for pinball routing. Therefore, we achieve optimal routes for multicasting based on the given architecture. We also propose cost analytic models to evaluate the performance of our scheme. We observe significantly better multicast cost in NEMO compared with other techniques such as Bi-directional Tunneling, Remote Subscription, and Mobile Multicast based on the NBS protocol.

The most critical element in the real-time operation of RFID application programs that are suitable for the mobile environment is the RFID middleware, made exclusively for mobile handsets, which processes collected data on a real-time basis and sends only the useful information to the application client. In this paper, we intend to design and implement a mobile RFID middleware system that supports the mobile handset environment for real-time based processing of the necessary data in the mobile environment. The proposed mobile RFID middleware system includes a mobile reader interface that collects the tag data, a mobile filtering engine that processes the tag data into more meaningful data that is sent to the application interface, and finally the mobile application interface that supports the m-SOAP application access protocol for interfacing with existing mobile applications. The filtering speed of the newly-developed middleware engine was found to be suitable for the characteristics of mobile handsets.

최근 개인 이동 통신 단말기의 수요와 인터넷 사용자의 증가와 함께, 유선 통신 서비스에서부터 개인 휴대 통신 서비스에 이르기까지 다양한 통신 서비스가 제공되기 시작하면서 이러한 서비스가 결합된 mobile IP의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존의 IP에서는 노드가 계속해서 접속을 유지하기 위해서는 접속되는 위치가 반드시 고정적으로 지정되는 것이 필요하며 노드의 위치가 바뀌면 기존의 IP 주소는 사용할 수 없다. 그러나 mobile IP는 인터넷상의 임의의 다른 위치에 접속해 노드가 IP 주소를 바꾸지 않고 인터넷을 사용할 수 있도록 한다. 이동(mobile) 노드가 새로운 셀 지역으로 이동하면, 그 셀에 해당하는 외부(foreign) 에이전트로부터 임시 주소(care-of address)를 할당받아 홈 네트워크에 위치한 홈 에이전트에 등록하고, 홈 에이전트는 송신 노드가 이동노드로 전송한 패킷을 새롭게 등록된 임시 주소로 터널링을 통해 전달한다. 이러한 기본적인 mobile IP 방법은 모든 패킷이 홈 에이전트를 통해 이동 노드로 전송되므로 최적화된 라우팅 방법을 제공하지 못한다. 그러므로 이러한 mobile IP의 단점을 보완한 route optimization mobile IP가 제안되고 있다. Route optimization mobile IP는 이동 노드의 현재 위치와 관련된 정보를 갖는 바인딩을 저장하여 송신 노드가 패킷을 이동 노드의 홈 에이전트를 거치지 않고 이동 노드로 직접 전송하는 기능을 제공한다. 또한 이동 노드가 다른 셀 지역으로 핸드오프가 이루어질 경우, 핸드오프 발생전의 바인딩 정보를 이용하여 송신 노드가 전송한 패킷은 이전 셀 지역에 있는 에이전트가 새로운 셀 지역에 있는 이동 노드로 패킷을 재전송하여 전달하는 smooth 핸드오프 기능을 제공한다. 이전 셀 지역에 속한 외부 에이전트가 바인딩을 갱신하기 전에 송신 노드로부터 이동노드로 전달된 패킷이 있을 경우는 패킷을 저장하여 이후에 이동 노드의 위치 정보에 관한 바인딩 정보가 갱신되면 이러한 바인딩 정보에 따라 패킷을 재전송하는 버퍼기능도 제공한다. route optimization mobile IP는 기본적인 mobile IP에서의 복잡한 라우팅 문제를 해결하고, 핸드오프에서의 패킷 손실률을 최소화 한다.본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 smooth 핸드오프를 이용한 mobile IP의 성능을 분석한다. 일반적으로 데이터 트래픽 특성, 노드의 이동성, 바인딩 갱신시간, 버퍼관리 방법 등은 핸드오프 동안 mobile IP의 성능에 많은 영향을 미친다. 따라서 시뮬레이션 모델을 이용하여 다양한 트래픽 환경에서 위에 언급된 성능 파라미터들의 영향을 분석한다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션 결과를 이용하여 mobile IP의 성능을 개선시키기 위한 방법을 제시한다.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (lETF)proposed the Mobile IPv6 protocol to provide host mobility in IPv6-based network and to offer a standardized technology. However, Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is not applied in actual network because of long handover latency and packet loss problems. Therefore, to compensate these drawbacks, many studies are in progress and FMIPv6 (Fast handover for Mobile IPv6) is one of the studies that has been proposed to supplement the shortcomings of MIPv6. But there are problems occurred in using router tunneling which causes packet loss and out of sequence problems. In this paper, we propose an Advanced Mobile IPv6 (AMIPv6) protocol to minimize the handover latency when Mobile Node frequently moves in each subnet. We compared the performance analysis of AMIPv6 handover latency with MIPv6 handover latency in the same network environment to prove that AMIPv6 is more efficient.

Mobile agent is a software program that provides autonomy and mobility for the users in the networked computers by deciding its own movement place. Since mobile agent does not keep up the network connection and migrate its executable code under its own control, it can be often used in the unstable network conditions such as the wireless network and the heavy traffic network. In this paper, we show that the electronic commerce system can be developed efficiently to retrieve and trade the goods in the mobile computing environment by using the mobile agent paradigm. Multiple mobile agents migrate into the market directly, then negotiate and trade autonomously relevant goods and services. The execution result and executable code of the mobile agent are returned to the home place and reported to the users. We show that the mobile agent paradigm is suitable to build the mobile electronic commerce system by designing and prototyping the mobile market system.
