MANET routing protocols must support not only wireless networking without any relaying on network infrastructure, but also dynamic management of routing information caused by node mobility. Hence, they are one of important routing protocols for USN. Recently DYMO is regarded as a promising routing protocol for UMT because it is simple and easy to extend as well as it requires less networking load than others. In this paper, we design and implement DYMO routing protocol into various operation systems. Also, we develop a DYMO conformance test tool to evaluate our implementations.

The future Personal Communication Service(PCS) is the total personal information communication service to satisfy the importance of information in a highly information - oriented society. Compared with the conventional communication method, it is necessary to provide considerable intelligence to the commu- nication network in order to implement the PCS which guarantees the mobility of each individual. Consequen- tly, the PCS needs a fast large database system which stores the information of each individual. To achieve this goal, this paper presents the parallel implementation of deductive database systems as a main - memory database system.

There can exist unidirectional links due to asymmetric property of mobile terminals or current wireless environments on practical mobile ad hoc networks. However, at present, the existing mobile ad hoc routing protocols are implemented to support only bidirectional links. Thus, in this paper, we extend the existing dynamic source routing protocol in order to implement a new routing protocol, which is fit to mobile ad hoc networks containing unidirectional links. For performance evaluation, we use combinations of mobility scenario files and connection pattern files from Carnegimelon Univ. We consider received data rate and average route discovery time as evaluation items, which are compared and evaluated for three suggested route discovery methods.

As the distributed resources in the networks have become increasingly popular, the accesses to these resources having been activated. Especially, the accesses to the distributed resources using the mobile agent technologies provide the mechanisms supporting mobility with mobile users as well as the dynamic accesses to the resources in the fixed networks. Proxy-based mobile agent model is defined as mobile agent network model which allocates the hierarchical domains to the distributed resources changed dynamically, assigns one proxy server for each domain, and promotes the management and the cooperation of the mobile agents. In this paper, we introduce the architecture and the execution scenario for proxy-based mobile agent model which is suitable for the hierarchical management domains. In simulation, we evaluate the proxy server's route optimization functionality and the performance reducing execution time of the mobile agents.

This paper introduces a new approach to modeling relative distance among nodes under a variety of communication rates, due to node's mobility in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). When mobile nodes move to another location, the relative distance of communicating nodes will directly affect the data rate of transmission. The larger the distance between two communicating nodes is, the lower the rate that they can use for transferring data will be. The connection certainty of a link also changes because a node may move closer to or farther away out of the communication range of other nodes. Therefore, the stability of a route is related to connection entropy. Taking into account these issues, this paper proposes a new routing metric for MANETs. The new metric considers both link weight and route stability based on connection entropy. The problem of determining the best route is subsequently formulated as the minimization of an object function formed as a linear combination of the link weight and the connection uncertainty of that link. The simulation results show that the proposed routing metric improves end-to-end throughput and reduces the percentage of link breakages and route reparations.

During communication between wireless users, disconnection may occur during the handover process. The high handover latency during the process of handover degrades the service quality of the wireless communications. This problem becomes more crucial if the operation network is transmitting real-time multimedia applications. This paper studies the hanover procedure of mobile IPv6 and investigates various factors affecting the handover latency through mobile IPv6 testbed and evaluates the various parameters for reducing the handover latency.

모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서 이동성은 등록을 통해 이루어지고 있으며, 이음새 없는(seamless) 이동성을 제공하고자 많은 연구들이 진행되어 있으며, 그 중 방문하고자 하는 네트워크(Foreign Network)에 등록하는 시점을 언제로 하느냐에 따라 크게 다음의 2 가지 방법으로 대별된다. SIP-Registration은 핸드오프가 발생한 이후 등록(AAAF)을 함으로써 통화하는 중에 끊김(disruption)이나 지연(delay)이 발생한다. 이를 개선한 SIP-Shadow-Registration 방법은 핸드오프가 발생하기 이전에 이웃한 모든 노드들$(AAAF_n)$에게 모바일 노드(MN)의 관련 정보를 사전등록(Shadow Registration)하여 핸드오프 이후에 발생하는 끊김이나 지연을 방지하였다. 그러나 SIP-Shadow-Registration은 실제 사용하지 않는 n-2 개의 MN와 관련된 백본 네트워크에 불필요한 데이터 전달 및 관리라는 문제를 야기시킨다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점들을 개선하고자 사전등록영역(SRR: Shadow Registration Region)을 구성하고 이의 알고리즘을 제안한다. 결과적으로 SIP 기반의 이동성이 필요할 때, 최소한의 사전등록영역을 통해 끊김이나 지연도 방지하고 추가적인 데이터 관리 문제도 해결할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이다.

In view of mutual complementary feature of wide coverage and high data rate, the interworking between 3G cellular network and WLAN is a global trend of wireless communications. This paper introduces the analytic result of an authentication mechanism for 3GPP-WLAN seamless mobility under the USIM-based authentication test-bed. In a handover process between heterogeneous networks, authentication is the main factor of handover delay. So authentication processing time should be firstly reduced. This paper describes an USTM-based EAP-AKA test-bed implemented for handover in UMTS and WLAN interworking systems. Experimental result has shown that the fast re-authentication mechanism during handover has reduced the handover delay by about 48.6%.

The preservation of temporal dependencies among a group of processes that exchange continuous media at runtime is a key issue for emerging mobile distributed systems (MDS), such as monitoring of biosignals and interactive multiuser games. Although several works are oriented to satisfy temporal dependencies, most of them are not suitable for MDSs. In general, an MDS is characterized by the absence of global references (e.g. shared memory and wall clock), host mobility, limited processing and storage capabilities in mobile hosts, and limited bandwidth on wireless communication channels. This paper proposes an asymmetric synchronization protocol to be used at runtime in an MDS without using a common reference. One main aspect of our synchronization protocol is that it translates temporal constraints to causal dependencies of the continuous media data as seen by the mobile hosts. We simulate the protocol by considering a cellular network environment and by using MPEG-4 encoders. The simulation results show that our protocol is effective in reducing the synchronization error. In addition, the protocol is efficient in terms of processing and storage costs at the mobile devices, as well as in the overhead attached per message across the wired and wireless channels.

IETF has proposed Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) for efficient mobility management, FMIPv6 has no solutions to protect binding updates. Previous researches have mainly concentrated on using AAA, public cerificates or cryptographic algorithms to secure binding updates. However the approaches need a particular infrastructure or a heavy processing cost to setup secure associations for handovers. Proposed scheem provides authentication for FMIPv6 without infrasturcture and costly cryptographic algorithms by extending Return Routability Protocol. Also proposed scheme is oble to be used for various existing handover mechanisms in IPv6 network.
