Mobile Ad hoc network is a self configuring network of mobile nodes. It allows mobile nodes to configure network spontaneously and share their services. In these networks, service discovery is very important because all nodes do not have same resources in term of memory and computing power. Nodes need to use different services offered by different servers. Some service discovery protocols have been proposed in last couple of years but they include significant traffic overhead and for small scale MANETS. In this paper, we present extensible lookup service scheme based on distributed mechanism. In our scheme neighboring nodes of service provider monitor service provider and send notification to lookup server when the service provider terminates its services unexpectedly. Lookup server can find other service provider or other alternative services in advance because of advance notification method and can provide consistent lookup services. In our scheme neighboring nodes also monitor lookup server and send notification to network when lookup server terminates unexpectedly. Simulation results show that our scheme can reduce up to 70% and 30% lookup failure as compare to centralize and simple distributed mechanism respectively.

The popularization of streaming networks and mobile devices brings a new kind of network called mobile peer-assisted streaming network. In this network, service provider not only offers downloading services, but also pre-pushes resources to users for caching. Users can download their demanded resources while working as servers for uploading the cached data. Also the mobile characteristic makes high package losing probability in this network. So we study how the service provider pre-pushes or the user downloads resources efficiently and effectively while considering the package losing in this paper. We build utility models for service provider and user, and solve the models using Bellman's theory to achieve Nash Equilibrium which shows the service provider's optimal pre-pushing speed and user's optimal downloading speed. The numerical simulation demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed pre-pushing and downloading scheme by comparing to the traditional scheme.

The USIM(universal subscriber identity module)-unlock introducing in July 1, 2008 might be led to a significant change that mobile service provider's dominance is considerably dispersed to the handset manufacturer and distributor. Under USIM-unlock environment, mobile service provider, handset manufacturer, and distributor have to make their decisions on their handset distribution channel strategies: the closed distribution channel strategy or the open distribution channel strategy. The change of distribution channel strategy between members in distribution channel can be understood as a matter of strategy choice, and we have developed a theoretical model and analyzed how to make a decision for the member's optimal distribution strategy based on 3-person game model between members of mobile phone distribution channel, under both of '1 subscriber-1 handset' and '1 subscriber-multiple handset' assumptions. Under '1 subscriber-1 handset' assumption, the closed strategy controlled by mobile service provider is all players' optimal solution because the maximum size of the mobile phone market is limited by subscribers. But, as total expected profit by the handset and distribution subsides is a deficit, mobile service provider have to choose the open strategy and consider the conversion to MNO(mobile network operator). Under '1 subscriber-multiple handset' assumption, mobile service provider is trying to find the way how to lock-in its service and mobile phone and how to maximize ARPU(average revenue per unit), while handset manufacturer and distributor have to look for the way how to maximize the mobile phone market using their own marketing efforts, because it is expected that total mobile handset demand for the open market is bigger than demand for the closed market under '1 subscriber-multiple handset' assumption.

This paper proposes a personal information protection model that allows a user to regulate his or her own personal information and privacy protection policies to receive services provided by a service provider without having to reveal personal information in a way that the user is opposed to. When the user needs to receive a service that requires personal information, the user will only reveal personal information that they find acceptable and for uses that they agree with. Users receive desired services from the service provider only when there is agreement between the user's and the service provider's security policies. Moreover, the proposed model utilizes a mobile agent that is transmitted from the user's personal space, providing the user with complete control over their privacy protection. In addition, the mobile agent is itself a self-destructing program that eliminates the possibility of personal information being leaked. The mobile agent described in this paper allows users to truly control access to their personal information.

We study factors that affect consumers' switching behaviors among service providers in Korean mobile telecommunications service market. For empirical analysis, quarterly time series data from the first quarter of 2004 through the second quarter of 2007 were used. We chose the number of switchers to each mobile service provider in each quarter as dependent variables. Independent variables include acquisition costs per subscriber, which play the role of subsidy to mobile handset, switching costs, time trend, structural change effect, and waiting demand effects. Through the empirical analysis, we found that each provider's churn-in customers are affected by different factors. Specifically, the number of churn-in customers into SK Telecom is explained mainly by SK Telecom's customer acquisition costs and waiting demand from KTF, while the number of customers switching into KTF is better explained by switching costs from the previous service provider and waiting demand from SK Telecom. Those who chose LG Telecom as their new provider, on the other hand, were mainly attracted by LG Telecom's high subscriber acquisition cost.

PDA는 저장 공간이 제약적이고 입력을 위해 펜 기반장치를 사용해야 하므로 불편함을 지닌다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 불편함을 보완하기 위하여 기존의 음성인식 시스템을 XML(extensible Markup Language) 웹 서비스로 제공하고, PDA에서 음성인식 웹 서비스를 요청함으로써 음성명령이 가능하도록 구현하였다. 본 시스템의 구성은 모바일 클라이언트와 음성인식 웹 서비스 프로바이더로 되어 있다. 모바일 클라이언트는 사용자정보와 음성 데이터를 DIME(Direct Internet Message Encapsulation)을 이용하여 음성 인식 웹 서비스 프로바이더를 요청한다. 음성 인식 웹 서비스 프로바이더는 인증된 클라이언트에 한하여 음성 인식 결과와 사용자명을 반환하는 서비스를 제공한다. 따라서 이 시스템은 PDA에서 대용량의 음성 DB나 음성인식 시스템을 직접 탑재하지 않고도 음성인식 서비스를 이용할 수 있다.

This study investigates the factors that facilitate or hinder people to use mobile payment, especially drawing upon the theoretical perspectives on individual's privacy protection motivation and perceived market condition. Survey data (n = 200) were collected through a web-based platform and used to test a theoretical model. The results show that one's privacy protection power is formed by various individual and technological factors (i.e., perceived data exposure, self-efficacy, and response efficacy), and in turn it determines his/her intention to use mobile payment. Moreover, the relationship between privacy protection power and mobile payment use is conditional on the perceived market control by the service provider - with a perception of the high level of provider's market control, one uses mobile payment regardless of his/her privacy protection power, while under the low level of provider's market control, the decision depends on the degree of privacy protection power. The findings would help our understanding of why some people are more susceptible to mobile payment and others are not.

Named-Data Networking (NDN) is one of the promising approaches for the Future Internet to cope with the explosion and current usage pattern of Internet traffic. Content provider mobility in the NDN allows users to receive real-time traffic when the content providers are on the move. However, the current solutions for managing these mobile content providers suffer several issues such as long handover latency, high cost, and non-optimal routing path. In this paper, we survey main approaches for provider mobility in NDN and propose an optimal scheme to support the mobile content providers in the large-scale NDN domain. Our scheme predicts the movement of the provider and uses state information in the NDN forwarding plane to set up an optimal new routing path for mobile providers. By numerical analysis, our approach provides NDN users with better service access delay and lower total handover cost compared with the current solutions.

최근 급속도로 보급되고 있는 스마트폰과 SNS(Social Network Service)로 인한 인터넷 응용프로그램 활용의 증가는 3G 네트워크 이상의 네트워크 대역폭을 빠르게 잠식해가고 있으며 이로 인한 속도 저하와 서비스 질 저하로 인한 기간통신사들의 시설투자비 증가 요구가 강하게 대두되고 있다. 아울러 모바일 네트워크 사용자의 폭증에 따르는 모바일 서비스 제공자와 모바일 네트워크상의 ID관리문제를 촉발하고 있다. 본 논문은 3G 네트워크에서 모바일 인터넷 응용 서비스상의 사용자 ID관리와 보안문제를 해결하기 위한 프로토콜로 제안된 IDM3G[1]를 기반으로 보다 향상된 인증관리 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 $I^2DM$ 프로토콜은 기존의 IDM3G 프로토콜이 MO를 통한 상호 인증을 수행하면서 발생시키는 부하를 모바일 인터넷 응용 서비스 제공자에게 일정 부분의 역할을 분산시킴으로써 모바일 및 서비스 제공자의 ID관리와 함께 네트워크 부하와 정보처리를 위한 프로세스 부하 그리고 송수신되는 패킷의 수를 보다 효율화한다. 향후 더욱 그 수요가 폭증할 것으로 예상되는 3G 이후의 모바일 네트워크에 대한 수요를 대비하여 보다 최적화된 프로토콜을 제안한다.
