Fourth-generation (4G) wireless networks will be the IP-based cellular networks integrating Internet with the existing cellular networks. Two important issues should be concerned in the IP-based cellular networks, IP mobility, and quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. In this paper, we proposed two mechanisms to solve the problems with IP mobility and RSVP-based QoS provisioning. First, virtual-IP (VIP) allocation scheme in areas with a large rate of handoff can minimize the wireless signaling overhead due to IP mobility. The access routers (ARs) create dynamically the VIP zone by using the measured handoff rate derived from the history of the handoff into neighboring ARs. We show that VIP allocation scheme reduces the binding update messages in the wireless link than hierarchical mobile IPv6. Second, the new advance resource reservation protocol called proportional aggregate RSVP (PA-RSVP) can minimize waste of bandwidth and soft state refresh overhead due to IP mobility. It allocates the bandwidth in advance between the mobility anchor point and neighboring ARs using proportional aggregate reservation. We also show that PA-RSVP provides an improved performance over existing protocols.

무선 환경에서 높은 대역폭에 대한 요구가 날로 증가함에 따라 무선 ATM 기술을 활용한 기법들이 새로 개발되기 시작하였다. 이 논문에서는 무선 ATM 상에서 인터넷 사용자들에게 이동성을 제공하기 위한 방안을 제안한다. IETF나 ATM 포럼에서 개발되었던 기법들이 결합되어 Mobile IP over ATM 이나 IP over WATM 같이 운용된다면 여러 가지 단점들, 예를 들어 기능의 중복, 자원의 낭비들을 야기할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 이동성을 지원할 수 있도록 NHRP 표준을 확장하여 기존 기법들의 단순한 결합으로 인해 발생하는 문제점을 개선하였다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 분석하기 위해 ATM 영역과 IP 영역이 혼용된 망에서 두 영역이 서로 같을 때와 다를 때를 구별하여 이동 단말의 이동에 따른 평균 추적 비용과 평균 파악 비용 그리고 평균 종합 비용을 계산하였다.

In this paper, we propose new agent discovery and route discovery schemes to support Mobile IP (MIP) in Ad Hoc networks with wireless backbone. The wireless backbone consisting of stationary wireless routers and Internet gateways (IGs) is a kind of wireless access network of IP-based core network. The proposed scheme utilizes favorable features of wireless backbone such as stable links and no energy constraints. In the agent discovery scheme, backbone-limited periodic Agent Advertisement (AA) and proxy-AA messages are used, which reduce network-wide broadcasting overhead caused by AA and Agent Solicitation messages and decentralize MIP processing overhead in IGs. In order to reduce delay time and control message overhead during route discovery far the destination outside Ad Hoc network, we propose a cache-based scheme which can be easily added to the conventional on-demand routing protocols. The proposed schemes can reduce control overhead during agent discovery and route discovery, and efficiently support MIP in Ad Hoc network with wireless backbone.

IP header compression schemes offer a valuable measure for bandwidth preservation. Such schemes have been practically implemented in infrastructure-based IP networks for point-to-point links. However, minimal research and practical implementation efforts have been conducted in the direction of an IP header compression strategy that can meet the peculiar requirements of multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks. In this paper, we present a practically implemented multi-hop IP header compression scheme using the Robust Header Compression (ROHC) protocol suite. The scheme runs on a novel identifier (ID) based networking architecture, known as an ID-based ad hoc network (IDHOCNET). IDHOCNET additionally solves a number of bottlenecks of pure IP-based ad hoc networks that have emerged owing to IP address auto-configuration service, distributed naming and name resolution, and the role of an IP address as an identifier at the application layer. The proposed scheme was tested on a multi-hop test bed. The results show that the implemented scheme has better gain and requires only O (1) ROHC contexts.

최근 인터넷 유선망 뿐 아니라 무선 IP 이동 망에서의 통화 품질 및 서비스 품질(QoS)의 지원 및 관리체계는 매우 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 지금까지 연구된 인터넷 망의 QoS 제공 모델들은 통합서비스(IntServ) 모델, 차등서비스(DiffServ)모델 및 MPLS 등이 대표적이다. 한편, 무선 인터넷 망의 이동성 관리를 위해서 IETF에서는 MIPv4(Mobile IPv4)와 MIPv6 권고안들을 제안하고 있다. 그러나, 이들은 TCP 및 UDP/IP 환경을 근간으로 하여 QoS를 관리하고 이동성의 핸드오버(handover)등을 관리하기 위한 체계들로 많은 중요한 문제들을 야기하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티홈잉와 멀티 스트리밍 기능을 제공하는 전송계층 프로토콜로 설계된 SCTP(Stream Control Transport Protocol)을 이용하여 IP 이동 환경에서 끊김없는(seamless) 서비스 품질을 제공할 수 있는 관리구조(mSCTP)를 언급하고, 이 환경에서의 종단간 QoS 관리체계를 제안한다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 종단간 통신은 SCTP의 멀티홈잉 기능을 이용하고, 이를 통합서비스 모델과 결합하여 IP 이동성환경에서 끊김 없는 QoS 관리 서비스 목적을 달성할 수 있도록 설계하고 이를 평가한다.

다양한 무선 네트워크상에서 멀티미디어 멀티캐스트 서비스에 대한 기대가 날로 높아지고 있는데, 이는 IP 멀티캐스트 그룹 관리가 무선 환경에서도 효과적이면서 효율적으로 동작하여야 함을 가정하고 있다. 하지만, IGMPv3/MLDv2는 무선상에서 신뢰성이 없는 시그널링, 느린 상태의 전환, 낮은 주파수당 전송 효율, Bulk Report, Dormant 모드를 방해하는 등의 문제가 있어 무선 환경에서 그대로 사용하기에 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 무선 호스트 에이전트(Wireless Host Agent; WHA)를 도입하여 무선 링크 사이에서의 시그널링을 줄이고 그룹 관리의 효율성과 신뢰성을 높이는 기법을 소개한다. 또한 시그널링 비용 모델을 제시하고, 그 성능을 비교하였다.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have been increasingly applied in private and public networks during the last decade. In a different context, voice over IP (VoIP) has emerged as a new technology for making voice calls around the world over IP networks and is replacing traditional telecommunication systems. The popularity of the two technologies motivated the deployment of VoIP over WMNs. However, VoIP over WMNs suffers from inefficient bandwidth utilization because of two reasons: i) attaching 40-byte RTP/UDP/IP header to a small VoIP payload (e.g., 10 bytes) and ii) 841 μs delay overhead of each packet in WMNs. Among several solutions, VoIP packet multiplexing is the most prominent one. This technique combines several VoIP packets in one header. In this study, we will survey all the VoIP multiplexing methods over WMNs. This study provides a clear understanding of the VoIP bandwidth utilization problem over WMNs, discusses the general approaches in which packet multiplexing methods could be performed, provides a detailed study of present multiplexing techniques, shows the aspects that hinder the VoIP multiplexing methods, discusses the factors affected by VoIP multiplexing schemes, shows the merits and demerits of different multiplexing approaches, provides guidelines for designing a new improved multiplexing technique, and provides directions for future research. This study contributes by providing guidance for designing a suitable and robust method to multiplex VoIP packets over WMNs.

Reducing energy consumption in mobile hosts (MHs) is one of the most critical issues in wireles/mobile networks. IP paging protocol at network layer and power saving mechanism (PSM) at link layer are two core technologies to reduce the energy consumption of MHs. First, we investigate the energy efficiency of the current IEEE 802.11 power saving mechanism (PSM) when IP paging protocol is deployed over IEEE 802.11 networks. The result reveal that the current IEEE 802.11 PSM with a fixed wakeup interval (i.e., the static PSM) exhibits a degraded performance when it is integrated with IP paging protocol. Therefore, we propose an adaptive power saving mechanism in IEEE 802.11-based wireless IP networks. Unlike the static PSM, the adaptive PSM adjusts the wake-up interval adaptively depending on the session activity at IP layer. Specifically, the MH estimates the idle periods for incoming sessions based on the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) scheme and sets its wake-up interval dynamically by considering the estimated idle period and paging delay bound. For performance evaluation, we have conducted comprehensive simulations and compared the total cost and energy consumption, which are incurred in IP paging protocol in conjunction with various power saving mechanisms: The static PSM, the adaptive PSM, and the optimum PSM. Simulation results show that the adaptive PSM provides a closer performance to the optimum PSM than the static PSM.

Ongoing standardization effort on 3G cellular system in 3GPP (UNTS) is based on GPRS core network and promises a global standard for systems capable of offering ubiquitous access to internet for mobile users. Considered radio access systems(FDD CDMA, TDD CDMA, and EDGE) are optimized for robust mobile use. However, there are alternative relatively high-rate radio interfaces being standardized for WLAN (IEEE802.11 and HIPER-LAN/2) which are capable of delivering significantly higher data rates to static or semi-static terminals with much less overhead. Also WPANs(BLUETOOTH, IEEE802.15), which will be present in virtually every mobile handset in the near future, are offering low cast and considerable access data rate and thus are very attractive for interworking scenarios. The prospect of using these interfaces as alternative RANs inthe modular UMTS architecture is very promising. Additionally, the recent inclusion of M-IP in the UMTS R99 standard opens the way for IP-level interfacing to the core network. This article offers an overview into WLAN-Cellular interworking. A brief overview of GPRS, UMTS cellular architectures and relevant WLAN standards is given. Possible interworking architectures are presented.
