Location Based Service (LBS) is a service provided to the subscribers based on their (or others') geographical location. Interest in LBS has increased not only in the aspect of promoting utilization, including the public usage such as emergency rescue, but also in the aspect of protecting the personal location information of the subscribers. This study aims to suggest and classify the business models for LBS services, focusing on the flow of the personal location information. Each business model is reviewed from the perspective of protecting the location privacy of the subscribers.

In this paper, we have studied optimal FCL(Frequently Called List) table sizes in a grid topology circuit-switched network including wireless subscribers. The FCL table gives the position information of a destination subscriber for a call. When the call is generated in a node, this call is routed by the referenced position information of the destination subscriber in FCL table. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient routing algorithm, mixed FSR(Flood Search Routing) and DAR(Dynamic Adaptive Routing), considering moving wireless subscribers. Also, we have simulated hit ratio and incorrect ratio as performance parameters, consequently proposed the object function composed of table search time, hit ratio, incorrect ratio, FSR time and DAR time, and derived the optimal FCL table size by using it.

In this paper, a research on the structure and the network configuration of the location register(LR), which database of new locations and service informations of subscribers according to the movement of subscribers in personal communication system(PCS). since the traditional PCS manages all the databases with the location informations as a centralized type. The service informations of the subscribers are centrally controlled by the HLR. So there have been the heavy signal traffic and the call setup delay. In order to relieve such problem, the proposed types of the configurations are the distributed type of PCS scheme and the hierarchical PCS scheme. In the distributed scheme, each PCS has its own LR and in the hierarchical PCS scheme, several LR are grouped to from a layer so that overall structure is a tree style.

We demonstrate an optical asynchronous transfer mode/wavelength division multiplexing (OATM/WDM) optical access network, using a router based on an optical header decoder to conduct next-generation communications. The router consists of a decoder or hardware analysis processing of the header bit and switches. The router in the OATM/WDM optical access network is a key technology by which to satisfy subscribers’ requests, including reliability, cost efficiency, high speed, large-capacity transmission, and elevated information security. In this study, we carry out experiments in which a header decoder delivers to 16 and 32 subscribers with a single wavelength in the router. These experiments confirm the decoder’s successful operation via hardware using 4 and 5 header bits. We propose that this system may significantly contribute toward the realization of an optical access network that provides high-quality service to subscribers of next-generation communications.

Last year UMTS (UMTS: Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) 3G service started and these days 3 its service subscribers sharply increased. Now totally we have been increasing 13 million subscribers, every month 0.8 million people join 3G Service. MSC (Mobile Switching Center) is most important equipment in 3G system, so we call it 'core' network. Higher capacity MSC required to accommodating 1 million subscribers. It is very important whether MSC can accommodate maximum subscriber or not. So systematic analysis, reliable test results are required. This article presents WCDMA MSC performance evaluation case. This would be some direction for designing and developing some communication equipment. This Case Study demonstrates our MSC system performance.

Quality of Service (QoS) Guarantees grant ways for service providers to establish service differentiation among subscribers. On the other hand, service subscribers are also assured the level of service they paid for. In addition, the efficient level of service quality can be selected according to the subscribers' needs thus ensuring efficient use of available bandwidth. While network utility optimization techniques assure certain QoS metrics, a number of situations exist where some QoS goals are not met. The optimality of the network parameters is not mandatory to guarantee specified QoS levels. This paper proposes a joint data rate and power control scheme that guarantees service contract QoS level to a subscriber using Goal Programming. In using goal programming, this paper focuses on finding the range of feasible solutions as opposed to solving for the optimal. In addition, in case no feasible solution is found, an acceptable compromised solution is solved.

This paper presents a valuation methodology for optional calling plan contracts on free-phone calls in the telephone industry. Utilization of the model is not limited to valuation and consequent decision making for the subscribers; it provides a useful guideline for telephone companies in designing calling plans and assessing subscribers' behavior.

During the past 5 years, domestic VoIP service has grown rapidly absorbing more than 8 million subscribers. More recently, the increase of enterprise or institutional subscribers become more dominant than individual subscribers. Supporting emergency services such as 119 in these scaled up VoIP services is very essential. In current domestic VoIP networks, the VoIP terminal's location information which are provided to the PSAP with the arriving emergency call depends on the information which are entered at the subscription time or updated by the subscribers when the terminal is moved to other place. This manual provision of location information which requires the user's intervention can result in serious failure in saving people in emergency situations, in case that users are negligent in entering the information or users enter the wrong information. In this paper, we propose an enhanced mechanism in which the terminal's location information is automatically offered by the network for emergency services in ethernet-based enterprise VoIP networks.

This study attempted to estimate the subscribers' utility for IMT mobile data services by measuring willingness to pay(hereafter WTP). A survey to potential IMT subscribers has been done and contingent valuation method(hereafter CVM) was applied. CVM is generally believed to be one of the most popular methods used for quantifying the value of non-market goods or services particularly by asking respondents of WTP. The result of this study showed that WTP for the IMT mobile data service is 33,283 won per month. Taking into account the current average voice ARPU(Average Revenue Per User), we could estimate the subscribers' utility for 4G mobile voice and data services.

As the high-speed internet access market steadily nears its maturity phase, growth is quickly tapering off and competition, intensifying. As a result telecommunications companies are at present faced with the urgent need to evolve away from a growth model based on continuous acquisition of new subscribers. The recent convergence of telecommunication and broadcasting has come about precisely at this transitional period in the telecommunications market, and is perceived by the industry both as a new business opportunity and as a threat. TV-based VOD(Video on Demand), for one, is able to attract new customers desiring multimedia services of superior quality and to lock-in existing customers. Meanwhile, the latest evolution in network development is brightening the market prospect for TV-based VOD. The service has now hit the market, deployed over VDSL networks - a next-generation high-speed internet - and advanced cable modem networks, delivering high-definition DVD-quality videos. TV-based VOD is a service whose deployment is closely linked to the evolution of subscriber networks. According to the forecast produced by the present study, based on the forecast on the post-ADSL market and a survey conducted on VOD, as post-ADSL subscribers increase from 1.53 million in 2003 to 4.44 million in 2004, and 9.87 million in 2006, the percentage of post-ADSL subscribers with intention to also subscribe to a VOD service is expected to rise from 16% to 34% in 2006. Accordingly, VOD subscribers are estimated to increase from 0.24 million in 2003 to 0.98 million in 2004 and to 3.35 million in 2006.
