The modern mobile devices are typically equipped with multiple network interfaces, e.g., 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, but the current implementation of TCP can support only a single path at the same time. The Multipath TCP (MPTCP) leverages the multipath feature and provides (i) robust connection by utilizing another interface if the current connection is lost and (ii) higher throughput than single path TCP by simultaneously leveraging multiple network paths. However, if the performance between the multiple paths are significantly diverse, the receiver may have to wait for packets from the slower path, causing reordering and buffering problems. To solve this problem, previous MPTCP schedulers mainly focused on predicting the latency of the path beforehand. Recent studies, however, have shown that the path latency varies by a large margin over time, thus the MPTCP scheduler may wrongly predict the path latency, causing performance degradation. In this paper, we propose a new MPTCP scheduler called, choose fastest subflow (CFS) scheduler to solve this problem. Rather than predicting the path latency, CFS utilizes the characteristics of these paths to reduce the overall flow completion time by redundantly sending the last part of the flow to both paths. We compare the performance through real testbed experiments that implements CFS. The experimental results on both synthetic packet generation and actual Web page requests, show that CFS consistently outperforms the previous proposals in all cases.

The concept of SDN (Software Defined Networking) endows the network with programmability and significantly improves the flexibility and extensibility of networks. Currently a plenty of research works on introducing SDN into wireless networks. Most of them focus on the innovation of the SDN based architectures but few consider how to realize the global perception of the network through the controller. In order to address this problem, a software defined carrier grade Wi-Fi framework called SWAN, is proposed firstly. Then based on the proposed SWAN architecture, a blueprint of introducing the traditional NSA (Network Situation Awareness) into SWAN is proposed and described in detail. Through perceiving various network data by a decentralized architecture and making comprehension and prediction on the perceived data, the proposed blueprint endows the controllers with the capability to aware of the current network situation and predict the near future situation. Meanwhile, the extensibility of the proposed blueprint makes it a universal solution for software defined wireless networks SDWNs rather than just for one case. Then we further research one typical use case of proposed NSA blueprint: network performance awareness (NPA). The subsequent comparison with other methods and result analysis not only well prove the effectiveness of proposed NPA but further provide a strong proof of the feasibility of proposed NSA blueprint.

Due to overuse of commercial network systems such as bluetooth and WI-FI, the problems of frequency interruption and line-crossing may arise. For this reason, wireless communication frequency ISM 2.4GHz, a recently adapted concept in Korea which is employeed by RF-CBTC system, is predicted not to have guarantee for outstanding and continuous performance. Therefore in this study, considering these problems, 5GHz capacity wireless Lans with international standard 802.11a/b/g applied were installed in the underground urban transit areas and it was proved that these lans exceeded the performance level of 2.4GHz with international standard 802.11b which is being introduced in the nation. In addition, it was verified through carrying out an application test that the communication condition was stable in a running train with high speed in the tunnel.

The environment information such as dust, temperature, humidity, illumination and gas are very important in daily life. We implemented multi-sensor system which made for measuring an environment by using Arduino, ZigBee, and Appinventor. We also designed a packet for transmitting environment data. The data are sent to the server via ZigBee and then it communicates to a smart phone via WI-Fi. In this study, we added divers sensors, designed a protocol which made for transfer several kinds of data and improve mobility for real time monitoring by using smart phones. The system was worked well and the data was transmitted correctly to the smart phone.

IoT devices are interconnected in global network with different functionalities and manage the data transfer in cloud computing. IoT devices can be used anytime, anywhere with any device with different applications and protocols. Same devices but different applications according to end user requirements such as sensors and Wi-Fi devices, reusability of these applications can enhance the development process. However, large number of variations in cloud computing make it difficult the features selection in application because of compatibility issues of devices. In this paper we have proposed multi-Software Product Lines (multi-SPLs) approach to manage the variabilities and commonalities of IoT applications and protocols. Feature modeling is used to manage the commonalities and variabilities of SPL. We proposed that multi-SPLs feature model is more appropriate for modeling of IoT applications and protocols.

In this paper, we propose a new method for multi transmission method of data among near smart devices. Existing methods require the use of an extra application service where the operating system differs between smart devices. In contrast, the proposed method makes use of the smart device's inner speaker and microphone to confirm the transmission signal. Then, real sharing data is transmitted via WiFi or LTE. Therefore, the proposed method overcomes operating system issues with existing methods. Besides, BUMP technology works in a similar way to the method we propose, it only supports one-to-one transmission. To evaluate the efficacy of the new method, we tested one-to-many data transmission in an experiment: the results showed a 96% success rate. As a result, we believe that the proposed method is an effective multi transmission method of data among near smart devices.

Recently, many researchers claim that mobile data offloading is a key solution to alleviating overloaded cellular traffic by dividing the overloaded traffic with femtocells, WiFi networks or users. In this paper, we propose an idea to select a group of users, known as VIPs, that is able to effectively transfer the data to others using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise, also known as DBSCAN algorithm. We conducted our experiments using NCCU real trace dataset. The results show that our proposed idea offload about 70~77% of the network with VIP set size of four, which is better than the compared methods.
