ATM networks are widely deployed as the network that is capable of supporting multimedia services efficiently now. To date, a large portion of ATM connections, particularly in the WAN environment, have been of a permanent virtual circuits-requiring management intervention for set-up and tear-down. However, switched virtual circuits are required to support a range of desired characteristics on demand, to a reachable end user. To establish, maintain and release on-demand call/connections, the user-network interface(UNI) and node-node interface(NNI) signalling capabilities are required. Two protocols have been specified for NNI signalling within a public network: the broadband integrated-services user part(B-ISUP) protocol specified by the ITU-T, and the private network-network interface(PNNI) protocol specified by the ATM Forum. PNNI offers different type of internetwork or internodal interface from the traditional B-ISUP approach favored to date public network operators. In spite of its name, PNNI may find its place in network service provide networks as well as in private networks. Thus many public network operators and ATM equipment manufacturers are still unable to choose the NNI interface architecture of their system. In this paper, we survey the characteristics of the B-ISUP and PNNI protocols, and investigate the applicability issue of these specifications to the ATM-based Information Infra-Network of Korea. Analyzing the characteristics of the two protocols and clarifying the NNi requirements of the ATM-based Information Infra-Network of Korea, we propose that the B-ISUP protocol is more suitable than PNNI.

Topology information can be aggregated in the network constructed hierarchically and aggregating topology information is known as TA(Topology Aggregation) and TA is very important for scalability in networks. It is a very important elements to extend networks and routing in networks. In paticular, routing and TA algorithm are much influence on networks performance in PNNI. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement routing simulator for TA in PNNI.

본 논문에서는 PNNI(Private Network to Network Interface) 기반의 무선 ATM 망에서 이웃(neighborhood)과 이동 단말기의 위치 관계를 고려하여 계층화된 위치 등록기에 의한 적응적 위치 관리 기법을 제시한다. 제안된 위치 추적 과정에서는 단말기의 위치 영역을 홈(home) 이웃과 외부(foreign) 이웃으로 구분하고, 홈 이웃에서는 최하위 레벨의 위치 등록기와 홈 위치 등록기에 단말기의 위치를 등록하고 외부 이웃에서는 각 계층의 위치 등록기에 위치를 등록한다. 착신 단말기, 발신 단말기와 착신측 홈 이웃의 위치 관계를 고려하여 최소한의 비용으로 위치 파악 및 호 설정 과정을 수행한다. 그리고, PNNI 기반의 무선 ATM 망에서 제안된 적응적 위치 관리 기법을 기존 LR(Location Registers) 기법과 위치 관리비용 측면에서 성능을 비교하여 우수한 성능을 가지는 것을 알 수 있다.

This paper attempts to improve the existing architecture of location register for location management in Private Network to Network Interface(PNNI)-based wireless ATM networks. Our approach enhances the hierarchical architecture of location registers based on a PNNI hierarchical architecture, which is referred to as the logical hierarchy architecture of location registers. This paper introduces a logical hierarchy architecture for location registers to reduce the cost of their location management. This logical hierarchy architecture of location registers begins with the lowest level physical location registers that are organized into clusters called logical groups. These logical groups are then represented in higher layers by logical nodes. These logical nodes are again grouped into clusters that are treated as single nodes by the next higher layer. In this way, all location registers are included in this tree-type logical hierarchy architecture. Compared with the existing physical hierarchy architecture of location registers, the analysis results show that the proposed logical hierarchy architecture can reduce the number of databases and thereby the average total location management cost.

In this paper, we propose an efficient full mesh topology aggregation method in PNNI networks. The proposed scheme can search multi-links efficiently using the depth priority method based on hop count instead of searching the all links. To do this, we propose a modified line segment algorithm using two line segment method that represents two points which consist of delay-bandwidth pair to reduce topology information and provide a flexibility to the multiple-links aggregation. And we apply it to current full mesh topology aggregation. To evaluate performance of the proposed scheme, we compare/analyze the current method with the proposed scheme with respect to call success rate, access time and crank back rate. The result is that the proposed scheme is better than the current scheme in performance.

ATM 포럼에 제시된 LR 기법에서는 위치 등록기를 각 계층별로 물리적으로 배치하고 있어 다수의 데이터베이스가 필요하고, 데이터베이스 액세스 회수가 증가하며 위치 관리를 위한 신호 트래픽이 많고 호 설정 지연이 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 PNNI(Private Network to Network Interface) 기반의 무선 ATM 망에서 기존 LR 기법에서 사용하는 물리적인 계층 구조에서 각 계층마다 위치 등록기를 둠으로 인한 문제점을 보완하기 위해 PNNI 계층을 적용하여 논리적 계층에 의한 위치 등록기 구조를 제시한다. 논리적 계층 구조에서는 위치 등록기를 논리적인 그룹으로 묶고, 이 그룹들을 다시 그룹으로 묶어서 위치 등록기의 논리적인 트리 헝태로 만들어 상위 레벨의 위치 등록기의 역할을 하위 레벨의 위치 등록기 중 하나가 수행할 수 있도록 한다. 그리고, 위치 관리 비용 측면에서 성능을 비교 평가하여 제안된 논리적 계층 구조가 기존의 물리적 계층 구조에 비해 데이터베이스 수가 줄어들고, 위치 관리 비용을 줄이는 효과를 얻을 수 있다.
