In this paper, we study the joint radio and computational resource allocation in the ultra-dense mobile-edge computing networks. In which, the scenario which including both computation offloading and communication service is discussed. That is, some mobile users ask for computation offloading, while the others ask for communication with the minimum communication rate requirements. We formulate the problem as a joint channel assignment, power control and computational resource allocation to minimize the offloading cost of computing offloading, with the precondition that the transmission rate of communication nodes are satisfied. Since the formulated problem is a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP), which is NP-hard. By leveraging the particular mathematical structure of the problem, i.e., the computational resource allocation variable is independent with other variables in the objective function and constraints, and then the original problem is decomposed into a computational resource allocation subproblem and a joint channel assignment and power allocation subproblem. Since the former is a convex programming, the KKT (Karush-Kuhn-Tucker) conditions can be used to find the closed optimal solution. For the latter, which is still NP-hard, is further decomposed into two subproblems, i.e., the power allocation and the channel assignment, to optimize alternatively. Finally, two heuristic algorithms are proposed, i.e., the Co-channel Equal Power allocation algorithm (CEP) and the Enhanced CEP (ECEP) algorithm to obtain the suboptimal solutions. Numerical results are presented at last to verify the performance of the proposed algorithms.

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 Implement Real-Time Mobile Query Processing System(MQPS) to solve problems related to database hoarding, the maintenance of shared dataconsistency 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-Srever) model.

Recently, as the types of services that can be enjoyed in mobile telecommunication networks such as social networks and video streaming are increasing, mobile users(MUs) can access mobile contents easily by consuming mobile data. However, under a mobile telecommunication environment, MUs have to pay a high data fee to a network service provider(SP) in order to enjoy contents. The 'data sponsor' technique, introduced as a way to solve this problem, has attracted attention as a breakthrough method for enhancing contents accessibility of MUs. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that determines the optimal discount rate through the Stackelberg game in the data sponsor environment. We also propose an algorithm to design edge caching, which caches highly popular content for MUs on edge server, through many-to-many matching game. Simulation results clearly indicate that the profit for CP's content consumption is improved by about 6~11%, and the profit of CP according to the ratio of edge caching is improved by about 12% than the other existing schemes under data sponsor environment.

In this paper, mobile multimedia service is defined as a service which is used for Internet or multimedia contents without regard to place in the mobile or wireless environment. The purpose of this paper is to search consumer's purchase decision factors by means of literature review and expert's opinion and to analyze a purchase decision structure and its weight. Some implications were found. Firstly, mobile multimedia service purchase factors relating to cost and quality are more important than external causes. Secondly, cost is more important than quality, that is different from result of mobile telecommunication and high-speed Internet service. Thirdly, direct effect such as pertinent charging and terminal price is more important than indirect effect such as pricing differentiation. Finally, main features of service such as mobility and contents are more important than additional characteristics such as personalized service.

As crime has actually increased in recent years, various mobile applications related to safety and emergency measure have received much attention. Therefore, IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, which connect various physical objects with Internet communication, have been also paid attention and then diverse safety services based on IoT technologies have been on the increase. However, existing mobile safety applications are simply based on location based service (LBS). Also, as they are independently operated without the help of another safety systems, they cannot efficiently cope with various safety situations. So, this paper proposes the efficient smart safety service architecture with both the risky situation detection using user location as well as various sensing information and the risk congruence measure using the streetlight infrastructure. Additionally, UDID (unique device identifier) is utilized for the secure communication with the control center.
