This paper suggests the energy-efficient message delivery scheme and the software platform which exploits the multiple network interfaces of the mobile terminals and GPS in the current mobile devices. The mobile terminals determine the delivery method among 'direct', 'indirect', and 'WAN' based on the position information of itself and other terminals. 'Direct' method sends a message directly to the target terminal using local RAT. 'Indirect' method extends the service area by exploiting intermediate terminals as relay node. If the target terminal is too far to reach through 'direct' or 'indirect' method, the message is sent using wireless WAN technology. Our proposed scheme exploits the position information and, thus, power consumption is drastically reduced in determining handover time and direction. Network simulation results show that our proposed delivery scheme improves the message transfer efficiency and the handover detection latency. We implemented a message platform in a smart phone realizing the proposed delivery scheme. We compared our platform with other typical message platforms from energy efficiency aspect by observing the real power consumption and applying the mathematical modeling. The comparison results show that our platform requires significantly less power.

Recently, as the use of mobile terminal is generalized, the needs of high-speed Internet mobile service is increased. Also users want to receive the multimedia contents what they want through the various terminals in anywhere, anytime via wired and wireless integrated environment. Therefore, various mechanisms that support the mobility are proposed. However, these mechanisms are difficult to support seamless mobility and QoS awareness on the mobile multicast environment. In this paper, we propose a QoS aware handover mechanism that is able to provide the high-quality and real-time services such as mobile IPTV in an integrated environment for these requests of users. Proposed mechanism manages the multicast admission control and multicast handover using the 2-layer multicast information management at the wired and wireless integrated network that extended the service guaranteed methods through the probing based admission control of the wired network to the wireless network based on PMIPv6. We present a performance evaluation results and features analyzed by the simulations using the ㎱-2.

In this paper, we develop an effective method for estimating and predicting interference power strength using the IMM(Interacting Multiple Model) algorithm. Based on the proposed interference prediction algorithm, we adjust transmission power of mobile terminals to maintain a certain level of target signal - to - interference- plus -noise- ratio ( SINR ) at the base station. Results of numerical experiments are presented to show a performance profile of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, I evaluated the throughput of various multimedia traffic by using computer simulation over wireless LAN environment based on 802.11e MAC protocol. The number of mobile terminals which generate various traffic and have different Internet QoS varies to improve the reliability of performance evaluation by simulation. Therefore, we investigate throughput of traffic that each mobile terminal generates. I expect that the result of study will be utilized as a fundamental data to control priorities of various types of traffic in case of formulating a scheduling policy supporting a variety of Internet QoS over wired and wireless networks.

With the rapid progress of wireless technologies today, mobile terminals with multiple access interfaces are emerging. In recent years, WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks) has become the premier choice for many homes and enterprises. WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) has also emerged as the wireless standard that aims to deliver data over long distances. Therefore, it is important to explore efficient integration methods for delivering multimedia data between heterogeneous wireless networks. In this paper, we developed the simulation models and environments for the mobile multihomed node that has both WiMAX and WLAN interfaces and can move around in both networks by using mobile IP. In order to verify the developed models, we designed and constructed several simulation scenarios, e.g. movement in WiMAX/WLAN, group mobility, MANET, and nested MIP under the various traffic environments such as oneway or bothway UDP packets, FTP traffic, and voice with SIP protocol. The simulation results show that the developed models are useful for mobility studies in various integrated wireless networks.

In a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the wireless data transmission environment plays an important role in system performance. In the proposed mobility model moving distance of sensor nodes has a great influences on communication performance. Transmission/receiving distance (d), path loss (L), sensitivity, Bit Error Rate (BER), Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) are considerations when designing a wireless communication system. MANET is a form of network in which only wireless terminals communicate with each other independently and move without any assistance of an existing infrastructure network. This paper is research on the optimized power usage method which is study on the effect of the moving distance of mobile nodes on the overall energy efficiency of the system in WSN. The purpose of this study is to extend the life of the entire network by proposing the mobile distance of sensor nodes within the communication available range.

The 6G mobile communication system will become a backbone infrastructure around 2030 for the future digital world by providing distinctive services such as five-sense holograms, ultra-high reliability/low-latency, ultra-high-precision positioning, ultra-massive connectivity, and gigabit-per-second data rate for aerial and maritime terminals. The recent remarkable advances in machine learning (ML) technology have recognized its efficiency in wireless networking fields such as resource management and cell-configuration optimization. Further innovation in ML is expected to play an important role in solving new problems arising from 6G network management and service delivery. In contrast, an approach to apply ML to a physical-layer (PHY) target tackles the basic problems in radio links, such as overcoming signal distortion and interference. This paper reviews the methodologies of ML-based PHY, relevant industrial trends, and candiate technologies, including future research directions and standardization impacts.

In mobile wireless network efficient location management for tracking and finding mobile users is a critical issue. The traffic for location update can be excessive, especially at the base stations that are near to the location area (LA) boundaries. In this paper we propose a new location update scheme which can significantly reduce the signaling traffic for location update. It is based on the virtual layer approach employing SubMSCs. The virtual layer is laid upon the original layer of LAs such that the mobile terminals moving around the boundary cells of adjacent LAs become to move within a virtual LA. As a result, the location update traffic is substantially reduced compared to overlapping scheme which is the most recent and efficient location update scheme.

The Satellite Mobile Communication System holds several advantages, such as wide coverage that guarantees the communication in a huge area. It is suitable in the ocean and forest and especially in emergency situation. However, the licensed frequency is not always occupied within all coverage and all the time. The actual utilization rate is relatively low compared to other wireless communications such as cellular systems. There are a large amount of white spaces in its coverage. Therefore, it is necessary to consider introducing additional services such as data communication, in order to increase the spectrum utilization as well as the revenue of the Satellite service provider. In this paper, we first analyze the possibility to implement new services in the licensed band of satellite mobile phone by its provider. Then we address the most significant issue for the implementation of current service, which is how to accurately detect the satellite mobile terminals. Finally, we suggest two new possible solutions namely, eigenvalue detection based methods to find out the existence of transmitted signal from the satellite mobile terminals.

Since low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations have important advantages over geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) systems such as low propagation delay, low power requirements, and more efficient spectrum allocation due to frequency reuse between satellites and spotbeams, they are considered to be used to complement the existing terrestrial fixed and wireless networks in the evolving global mobile network. However, one of the major problems with LEO satellites is their higher speed relative to the terrestrial mobile terminals, which move at lower speeds but at more random directions. Therefore, handover management in LEO satellite networks becomes a very challenging task for supporting global mobile communication. Efficient and accurate methods are needed for LEO satellite handovers between the moving footprints. In this paper, we propose a new seamless handover management scheme for LEO satellites (SeaHO-LEO), which utilizes the handover management schemes aiming at decreasing latency, data loss, and handover blocking probability. We also present another interesting handover management model called satellite mobility pattern based handover management in LEO satellites (PatHO-LEO) which takes mobility pattern of both satellites and mobile terminals into account to minimize the handover messaging traffic. This is achieved by the newly introduced billboard manager which is used for location updates of mobile users and satellites. The billboard manager makes the proposed handover model much more flexible and easier than the current solutions, since it is a central server and supports the management of the whole system. To show the performance of the proposed algorithms, we run an extensive set of simulations both for the proposed algorithms and well known handover management methods as a baseline model. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are very promising for seamless handover in LEO satellites.
