In a WLAN, the data reception rate of a user station depends not only on the received signal strength (RSS) from an AP (Access Point) but also on the contention level of the AP. However, since only the RSSs measured at the physical layer have been used for a station to select an AP to associate with, the station may not satisfy the minimum quality requirements necessary for a seamless IPTV service. Thus, in this paper, we propose an AP selection method to support quality requirements of the IPTV service in a wireless LAN without modifying the IEEE 802.11 standard. A user station keeps monitoring a contention level of APs around it and a quality of an ongoing IPTV service. If the quality deteriorates below a threshold, the station reassociates with another AP having the least load so that the ongoing IPTV program is played without disruption.

This paper proposes a light-weight, seamless integrated access control for global e-Science resource sharing. E-Science, based on Grid Computing, was designed to help scientists to remotely control and process the Grid resources such as high-end equipments and remote machines. As many researchers engage in the e-Science Grids, the researchers in a grid often have to wait for or give up use of the Grid resources, even when there are idle resources in other Grids. In this case, provided that proper compensation is given, Grid resource sharing is helpful both for the researchers and the Grids which provide their resources. But, sharing Grid resources globally is not simple, as each e-Science Grid is especially designed for resource sharing in its Virtual Organization(VO) and already has its unique access control policy for its resources. This paper proposes a new integrated access control for e-Science Grid resource sharing. The access control is light-weight without any priori service level agreement(SLA)s among the Grids which share their resources and seamless because the users can use the resources shared as the ones belonging to their Grids without their additional registration to the other Grids.

Smaller cell size in the micro-cell or pico-cell structure brings about more frequent hand-overs between cells, and higher speed movement of the mobile terminal makes short the permissible time interval for executing these hand-over procedures. In this situation the hand-over failure may occur or some packets may be lost during the hand-over. Moreover a rapid degradation of throughput is triggered by packet re-transmission for compensating such errors. The QoS (Quality of Services) of mobile multimedia applications with higher bits rate requirements and higher speed mobility are severely affected by even shot service interruption. This paper proposes a new hand-over scheme to provide seamless services in the next generation mobile communication systems. Simulation is done to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme based on its hand-over failure rate and packet loss rate.

WiBro technology provide mobile devices with a transmission speed of more than 1 Mbps even under the condition of high mobility (120 km/h). In a building, however, there is more demand for high bandwidth for various activities, and WiBro services may not be available. In order to guaranteeing a seamless service continuity and high transmission capability for mobile users within a specific establishment that has deployed WiBro network, we should secure an internetworking platform for WiBro and WiFi networks. This paper introduces WiMax forum and 3GPP standards, proposes WiBro-WiFi Interworking (WWI) architecture, its implementation details, and finally verifies validity of the proposal by using OPNet simulations.

Many security issues occur in cloud computing service environment such as authentication, access control, and so on. In this paper, we propose an effective authentication and access control model which provide integrated management and control when we access various resources in cloud computing environment. To address these problems, we suggest a context-aware single sign-on and access control system using context-awareness, integrated authentication, access control, and OSGi service platform in cloud computing environment. And we show design and implementation of context-aware single sign-on and access control system. Also we verified the flexibility and convenience of the proposed system through multi fact based integrated authentication in cloud computing environment. We could provide flexible and secure seamless security service by user context in cloud computing environment.

Resource Reservation Protocol(RSVP) can provide Quality-of-Service(QoS) guarantees for real-time services in wired networks. However, RSVP suffers from mobility problem in the mobile Internet. Therefore, to provide seamless QoS services, it is needed that a mobile node makes a reservation everywhere it visits. Recently, many protocols have been proposed to provide QoS guarantees through advance resource reservation. But, these proposals have problems with a waste of bandwidth and the signaling overhead due to advance resource reservation. In this paper, we propose new advance resevation protocol, Proportional Aggregate RSVP(PA-RSVP) to minimize the resource reservation bandwidth and the signaling overhead in the mobile Intemet while providing QoS guarantees. Based on the performance evaluation, we show that the proposed protocol provides an improved performance over existing protocols under various system conditions.

To improve current transportation service, a new Seoul Metropolitan Transportation Administration (Seoul MTA), backed by Korean central government, is on the way of being established. This paper tries to answer questions such as 'What is the best type of organizational formation of the upcoming institute to deliver better, seamless transportation service?' and 'What is the most suitable scope of work of the upcoming institute to achieve the goal?' A group decision making process, a kind of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was adopted to measure the experts' preferences of alternatives in quantitative scale measurement. To evaluate the alternatives, five evaluation criteria were selected. Among them, it is revealed that 'Improvement of the transportation service' and 'Political & Administrative power to make it happen' are the two most important evaluation criteria over what types or operating costs of the administrations are. When the five evaluation criteria are applied onto the group of alternatives, it yields that a stand-alone organization, which should be independent from upper-level government body, should have an integrated and sole authority on the area-wide transportation system management.

In this paper, we propose a network-based IP mobility management scheme, called Access Independent Mobile Service with IPv4/IPv6 Dual Stack (AIMS-DS), which can provide high-quality multimedia services to IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack mobile nodes (MNs) without any interruption over various wireless/wired access networks. The proposed scheme provides an MN with a fast and reliable mobility service among heterogeneous wireless access networks through the network-based control, the complete separation method of control and data plane, the cross-layer (layer2 and layer3) interworking method for handover control acceleration, etc, In addition, the proposed AIMS-DS can provide seamless mobility service to an MN under the environments of IPv4/IPv6 coexisting networks through the home address mobility support and transport network support. Through performance evaluation with computer simulations, we have shown the superiority of the proposed AIMS-DS in terms of handover latency, packet 1085 and packet delivery latency.

Wibro is stand for Wireless Broadband Internet called as Portable Internet, Wireless Broadband Internet or Wireless High-Speed Internet. This provides hish-speed internet service anytime, anywhere, from anyone and device with seamless mobility and the band is located between Mobile phone and wireless LAN. Wibro service should support handover to maintain connection continuously in movement because the service is based on If system which is different from cellular system. Current Mitre Mobility system and general Mobile If system has got a problem of delayed speed and lost packets during handover. IETF protocol has been proposed for minimizing this problem and its standardization is under process, mainly focused on Mip4, Mip6 and Mipshop WG. This article studies and analyzes an effective method of minimizing handover delay to improve the problem of WiBro system and its revitalization & outlook.

Since the development of the Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), the distributed lookup services are one of the hot topics in the networking area. The main reason of this popularity is the simplicity of the lookup structure. However, the simple key based search mechanism makes the so called "keyword" based search difficult if not impossible. Thus, the applicability of the DHTs is limited to certain areas. In this paper. we find that DHTs can be used as the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) metadata lookup service across a large number of sensor networks. The popularity of the Ubiquitous Sensor Network has motivated the development of the USN middleware services for the sensor networks. One of the key functionalities of the USN middleware service is the lookup of the USN metadata, by which users get various information about the sensor network such as the type of the sensor networks and/or nodes, the residual of the batteries, the type of the sensor nodes. Traditional distributed hash table based lookup systems are good for one sensor network. However, as the number of sensor network increases, the need to integrate the lookup services of many autonomous sensor networks so that they can provide the users an integrated view of the entire sensor network. In this paper, we provide a hybrid lookup model, in which the autonomous lookup services are combined together and provide seamless services across the boundary of a single lookup services. We show that the hybrid model can provide far better lookup performance than a single lookup system.
