To overcome the limitations of the current Central Mobility Management (CMM) protocols, IETF has been discussing about the Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) protocols that the centralized mobility functions of Home Agents (HA) are distributed to network edges closer to mobile users. The DMM protocol has some advantages of low-cost traffic delivery and high scalability. However, it faces several problems such as a high signaling cost and a complex address management. Especially, users moving at a high speed and with long-live sessions can make these problems worse. To reduce the high signaling cost for long-live sessions, we propose a novel hybrid DMM protocol allocating different mobility anchors according to the session durations. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the proposed hybrid DMM protocol and show superior performance with respect to the signaling cost.

In Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) protocol, the mobility functions are distributed to network edge closer to mobile users. DMM protocol has some advantages of low-cost traffic delivery, optimized routing path, high scalability. However, it needs many mobile anchors to exchange signaling messages and it results in a high signaling cost. Thus, previous works suggested the hybrid DMM protocol to reduce the high signaling cost for long-live sessions and this paper extends a hybrid scheme to the NEMO environment. The mobile routers are installed at vehicles and can move together with several mobile devices. So we can define the high-mobility property for mobile routers and suggest the hybrid scheme using this property. According to the high-mobility property of mobile routers, we can distribute the mobile anchors or allocate a centralized mobile anchor. In this paper, we mathematically analyze the performance of the proposed NEMO-enabled hybrid DMM protocol and show superior performance.

5G service uses mid-band (n78) than existing mobile communication frequencies, so it is necessary to improve 5G coverage by utilizing low-band frequencies below 2 GHz. To this end, the application of Dynamic Spectrum Sharing technology of LTE and 5G-NR system using most of the low-band frequencies is required. In this paper, signaling overhead factors for DSS application and RF issues for terminal implementation are derived, and signaling overhead ratios from the respective perspectives of 5G-NR and LTE for the 1.8GHz band (50MHz width) that can utilize wide-bandwidth among low-band frequencies are estimated. Also handset RF issues were analyzed. Based on the analysis results, if DSS technology using low band is applied, it is expected that excellent 5G service quality can be provided due to 5G coverage improvement when LTE traffic quickly migrates to 5G-NR.

This study deals with the location management in WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) networks. The new location management method is the one of the many techniques used to provide the packet switched (PS) services effectively in WCDMA networks. WCDMA introduces RA (routing area) for the PS services in addition to LA (location area) for the circuit switched (CS) services. WCDMA system also adopts the cooperative paging and the combined area update which are to decrease signaling traffic using the PS network resources for the CS services. Considering the characteristics of the WCDMA networks, this study formulate into the mathematical programming problem for the location management. Rather than the existing researches which consider the single MSC/SGSN networks, we deal with the multi MSC/SGSN networks, where both MSC area and SGSN area should be determined as well. Fairness between traffic loads of MSC/SGSN and the system cost incurred to MSC/SGSN are also incorporated into our model, which make the model more realistic. We propose greedy algorithms for the problems, which consists of the merger of two neighboring areas and the movement of an area. Extensive experiment has been done based on the realistic problem examples. Followed by the analysis of parameter effect on the final solutions and the quality of final solutions obtained by our greedy algorithms. Our proposed model and analysis result can be used to determine WCDMA system areas and to predict the system performance measures by the determination.

In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol called the Cartography Enhanced OLSR (CE-OLSR) for multi hop mobile ad hoc networks (multi hop MANETs). CE-OLSR is based on an efficient cartography gathering scheme and a stability routing approach. The cartography gathering scheme is non intrusive and uses the exact OLSR reduced signaling traffic, but in a more elegant and efficient way to improve responsiveness to the network dynamics. This cartography is a much richer and accurate view than the mere network topology gathered and used by OLSR. The stability routing approach uses a reduced view of the collected cartography that only includes links not exceeding a certain distance threshold and do not cross obstacles. In urban environments, IEEE 802.11 radio signals undergo severe radio shadowing and fading effects and may be completely obstructed by obstacles such as buildings. Extensive simulations are conducted to study the performances of CE-OLSR and compare them with those of OLSR. We show that CE-OLSR greatly outperforms OLSR in delivering a high percentage of route validity, a much higher throughput and a much lower average delay. In particular the extremely low average delay exacerbated by CE-OLSR makes it a viable candidate for the transport of real time data traffic in multi hop MANETs.

When a mobile node changes a sub network using Mobile IP, it must register its current location to the home agent. If a mobile node is far from its home network, the Binding Update (BU) time delay is longer and affects its connection state. To solve such a BU delay problem, a new component in HMIPv6, called MAP, supports the mobility of mobile node to reduce the signaling delay in handover However, in hierarchical MAP architecture, the register concentration to a specific MAP may be occurred, which affects the network management wholly. In this paper, we propose a MAP selection scheme based on ioad balancing by the mobility factor and the traffic property. By the mobility factor and the traffic property, a mobile node can select a adequate MAP on its mobility factor and traffic characteristic.

For in recently years, global cellular network service is changing rapidly to 4G. However, the fast introducing of 4G has been going with not enough research about security threat, it could be many kind of vulnerability. Therefore the research about security threat on 4G network is ongoing in external countries, but not sufficient in domestic. particularly in domestic situation of rapidly increased subscribers, The security threats which are hindering stability and usability could make a fatal effect on many users. 4G network should be considered about the feature of mobile network to protect 4G network stable. Mobile network has limited radio resources, it releases the radio resource which is not used in selected time and reallocate when detected the data transmission. Many signaling messages are transferred in the network entities to allocate or release the radio resource. In this paper, it will be introduced the technology to detect signaling DoS traffic hindering the stability and usability of network entities managing the radio resources by huge signaling message from the repetitive wireless connection/release message.

The railway signaling system has evolved to maximize its safety and maintainability based on the experiences in the construction and operation of railway systems. The newly developed systems was established to cope with the changes in an operating environment. In the process of a transition to the new system, both the existing ATS (Automatic Train Stop) and new ATP/ATO (Automatic Train Protection/Automatic Train Operation) systems are operating simultaneously in parallel. In this situation, modifications of the conditions of the interlocking diagram and logic are necessarily required on the existing ATS systems due to the frequent improvements in signaling equipment. This paper reports the enhancement of safety and operational efficiency of the system through an improvement of the security and the interlocking conditions of the existing ATS systems. The independent display of signals for each track was ensured to avoid giving the effect of On/Off signals for the selected track on the opposite side, and the security was improved by adjusting the position and interlocking conditions. In addition, the increased traffic density of railway systems was achieved by removing the unnecessary conditions and detailed signal display, which resulted in enhanced operational efficiency.

본 논문은 개인 휴대통신망네에서의 각 노드간 시그날링 트래픽을 감소시키기 위한 기법에 관한 연구이다. 미래의 개인휴대통신망에서는 셀 크기가 더욱 작이지고 사용자가 증가혀 현 개인휴대통신의 문제점인 HLR로의 시그날 병목현상. 인접지역에서의 핑퐁효과 발생이 더욱 심화돌 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제의 해결을 위해 각 VLR들이 자신을 중심으로 일정한 Circle Registration area를 가지면 이 area내의 VLR 들의 id를 가지는 DCLR(Dynamic Circle Location Register)이 되도록 한다. 단말이 다른 지역으로이동할 때 마다 단말이 현 DCLR area에 있는지를 검사후 해당 DCLR 로 단말의 최신 위치정보를 연속적으로 전송하고, 또한 이러한 이동에 따라 동적으로 단말의 DCLR이 변화되며, 호 발생시는 단말의 해당 DCLR을 조회함으로써 수신자의 위치를 추적한다. 이 방식은 기존 방식에서 사용자가 다른 지역으로 이동할 때마다 HLR로 매번 등록하고 질의함으로써 발생되는 HLR로의 시그널링 신호 과부하를 효율적으로 분산, 감소시키며 인접지역 경계간에 발생되는 핑퐁효과가 발생되지 않도록 한다.

An efficient location management for mobile stations plays an important role in mobile communication network. This paper studies a movement-based registration(MBR) method with a selective paging scheme. In the movement-based registration method, a mobile station performs a location registration when the number of cell boundary crossings since the last registration equals to the given movement threshold. In the selective paging scheme, the network first partitions the location area of the called mobile station into a number of subareas and then pages each subarea one after another until the MS is found. To reduce the paging and registration load, we propose a modified MBR(MMBR) method in the aspect of minimization of signaling traffic on radio channels. First, we propose a new establishment of the paging area to reduce the paging load on radio channels and then analyze its effects. Next, we propose the MMBR to reduce the registration load. Numerical results show that our proposed movement-based registration provides the better performance compared with the conventional method.
