Recently, due to the prevalence of various mobile devices and wireless broadband networks, there has been a significant increase in interest and demand for multimedia streaming services such as the mobile IPTV. In such a wireless broadband network, transmitting a continuous stream of multimedia data is difficult to achieve due to mobile stations (MSs) movement. Providing Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia video streaming applications requires the server and/or client to be network-aware and adaptive. Therefore, in order to deploy a mobile IPTV service in wireless broadband networks, offering users efficient wireless resource utilization and seamlessly offering user perceived QoS are important issues. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive streaming scheme, called MARC (Mobile-aware Adaptive Rate Control), which adjusts the quality of bit-stream and transmission rate of video streaming based on the wireless channel status and network status. The proposed scheme can control the rate of multimedia streaming to be suitable for the wireless channel status by using awareness information of the wireless channel quality and the mobile station location. The proposed scheme can provide a seamless multimedia playback service in wireless broadband networks in addition to improving the QoS of multimedia streaming services. The proposed MARC scheme alleviates the discontinuity of multimedia playback and allocates a suitable client buffer to the wireless broadband network. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

We investigate the optimization of energy consumption in Mobile Cloud environment in this paper. In order to optimize the energy consumed by the CPUs in mobile devices, we put forward using the asymptotic time complexity (ATC) method to distinguish the computational complexities of the applications when they are executed in mobile devices. We propose a multi-scale scheme to quantize the channel gain and provide an improved dynamic transmission scheduling algorithm when offloading the applications to the cloud center, which has been proved to be helpful for reducing the mobile devices energy consumption. We give the energy estimation methods in both mobile execution model and cloud execution model. The numerical results suggest that energy consumed by the mobile devices can be remarkably saved with our proposed multi-scale scheme. Moreover, the results can be used as a guideline for the mobile devices to choose whether executing the application locally or offloading it to the cloud center.

In general universal service in telecommunications means a regulatory tool to secure the availability of basic communication services like fixed telephony at an affordable price throughout a country. A re-evaluation of the scope of existing universal service, however, is becoming a core issue as the penetration and usage of broadband and mobile communications matures and a new ICT ecosystem emerges. This study examined whether the universal service polices in Korea need adapting and updating to include broadband and mobile telephony in the universal service, which is based on the necessary and sufficient conditions derived from previous research and foreign countries' experiences : geographical ubiquity of a certain service and the market's ability to provide the service. The result shows the nationwide ubiquity of broadband and mobile communications exists but the ultimate goal pursued by universal service polices trying to make them available and affordable for all is being fulfilled by market dynamics in Korea. Thus, the inclusion of both services in the scope of universal service is regarded as an unnecessary regulation at present time and the expansion of universal service could be addressed as a long-term issue depending on market conditions in the future.

최근 들어 다양한 휴대 단말과 광대역 무선네트워크의 보급으로 인해 인터넷을 통한 다양한 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스에 상당한 관심과 수요가 증가하고 있다. 하지만, 단말 이동시 연속적인 멀티미디어 스트리밍 데이터 전송이 어려운 문제를 가지고 있다. 그래서, 광대역 무선네트워크내 Mobile IPTV 서비스 보급에 있어, 효율적인 무선 자원 활용 및 사용자에게 원활한 QoE (Quality of Experience)를 제공하는 것은 중요한 이슈이다. 본 논문에서는 무선 채널 상태를 인지하여 비디오의 전송률과 품질을 조절하는 네트워크 기반의 품질 적응 스트리밍 기법인 Mobile Adaptive Rate Control (MARC) 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 스트리밍 서비스의 품질 향상 이외에도 단말의 이동환경에서 끊김 없는 비디오 재생을 보장 할 수 있도록 무선 채널 상태를 인지하여 현재 무선 채널 및 단말 위치에 적합한 스트리밍 비디오를 전송한다. 제안한 MARC 기법은 광대역 무선 네트워크에서 비디오 재생의 불연속성을 제거하고 안정된 버퍼 할당을 보였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안한 방법의 유효성을 확인하였다.

We address the data confidentiality for wireless broadband (WiBro) networks. In WiBro, as the channel is wireless in nature, it suffers from passive and active attack. Passive attack, for example is to decrypt traffic based on statistical analysis and active attack is to modify traffic or inject new traffic from unauthorized mobile stations. Due to high mobility, frequent session key distribution is a bottleneck for the mobile stations. In aspect of WiBro, there is a communication between mobile station to base station, and also in mobile station to mobile station. It is expected to ensure data confidentiality while maintaining minimum overhead for the resource constrained mobile stations. In this paper, we proposed a security framework based on the concept of hyper-encryption to provide data confidentiality for wireless broadband networks.

The objective of this paper is to design broadband microstrip patch antenna for mobile communication service. The enhanced features were confirmed and proved by comparing the proposed antenna with the antennae that have been reported in the relevant literatures. The experimental results show that the impedance bandwidth(VSWR ${\leq}2$) of 19.6%(fo=1,920MHz) and the peak gain of 5.53dBi(at 1,900MHz) were obtained by the mobile communication service frequency band. The proposed antenna had the impedance bandwidth of about 3.1% larger than that of the reported microstrip antenna.

Power saving is one of the most important features that extends the lifetime of portable devices in mobile wireless networks. The IEEE 802.16e mobile broadband wireless access system adopts a power saving mechanism with a binary truncated exponent algorithm for determining sleep intervals. When using this standard power saving scheme, there is often a delay before data packets are received at the mobile subscriber station (MSS). In order to extend the lifetime of a MSS, the battery energy must be used efficiently. This paper presents a dynamically alternating sleep interval scheduling algorithm as a solution to deal with the power consumption problem. We take into account different traffic classes and schedule a proper sequence of power saving classes. The window size of the sleep interval is calculated dynamically according to the packet arrival rate. We make a tradeoff between the power consumption and packet delay. The method achieves the goal of efficiently reducing the listening window size, which leads to increased power saving. The performance of our proposed scheme is compared to that of the standard power saving scheme. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of our power saving scheme and its ability to strike the appropriate performance balance between power saving and packet delay for a MSS in an IEEE 802.16e mobile broadband wireless access system.

본 논문은 간섭원으로써 4.5 GHz를 사용하는 UWB 센서가 동대역을 사용하는 피간섭원 광대역 무선 시스템에 미치는 간섭을 분석하였다. 분석방법으로는 Minimum Coupling Loss(MCL)와 Spectrum Engineering Analysis Monte Carlo Advanced Tool(SEAMCAT)을 사용하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 양립성 확보를 위해서 UWB 센서와 광대역 무선 시스템의 이동국 사이에는 1.2 m 이상의 보호 이격거리가 요구되었고 다수의 UWB 센서가 존재하는 경우에는 간섭 확률 5 % 이하를 만족하기 위해 UWB 수신기 PSD는 -68.5 dBm/MHz 이하로 요구되었다.
