When new services are introduced, one of the drivers for market performance of them is the interactions among existing and new services. They are characterized by the substitution or complementary effects among existing and new service or the cannibalization of existing services by new services. This paper analyzes these issues in the telecommunications service industry context. To analyze them, a simple graphical tool or State Transition Diagram(STD) is developed and used. The diagram helps to clearly represent and explain the substitution, complement and cannibalization impact. Then, using the face-to-face survey of 1,200 people, a new wireless internet access service or WiBro is analyzed to identify the substitution/complement and cannibalization impacts in relation with the other competing services. Additionally, the important factors explaining customer subscription and substitution behavior are identified. The analysis results indicate that males, students or on-line game users are more likely to subscribe WiBro. Also, among the potential WiBro subscribers, customers who are less satisfied with the existing fixed line broadband internet access services are more likely to stop subscribing the fixed line service, which implies substitution by a new service. Additionally, this raises the issue of cannibalization if the existing and new services are provided by the same company. In fact we find the cannibalization effect is more serious for the cost sensitive group. We believe that our tool, approach, analysis results and their implications would be very helpful to devise a winning strategy for the new services in the highly uncertain telecommunications business environment.

With the advent of Ubiquitous era, Korean government understood its strategic importance and formulated 'IT839 Strategies' with various action plans not to miss the great opportunities which it may allow and eventually to realize u-Korea. As a result, m-Commerce is actualized and new types of Ubiquitous services such as digital multimedia broadcasting(DMB) and wireless broadband Internet(WiBro) are now on their commercial stages. Digital contents are the key success factors of these new services. Digital contents industry is regarded as next generation of growth engine in the digital economy, because it is knowledge-based and high value-added global industry affecting positively on the whole private and public sectors. This paper reviewed the characteristics, business models, technical and market trend of digital contents to be compatible with Ubiquitous environment. Also, it reviewed the development strategies of DMB and WiBro services, which are newly introduced and commercialized in Korea to make it as world leader in these fields. It may be concluded that Korea should make more efforts to development market-oriented digital contents for Ubiquitous era and to realize the sustained economic growth.

일반적인 IP 네트워크에서 이동성을 보장해 주는 대표적인 기술인 Mobile IP 에서는 핸드오버에 따른 패킷 유실의 문제를 피할 수 없다. 따라서 이러한 패킷 유실의 문제를 해결하기 위한 대안으로 Smooth Handover가 제시 되었다. 하지만 Smooth Handover의 경우 핸드오버 동안의 패킷 버퍼링과 핸드오버에 따른 패킷 순서 뒤바뀜의 문제가 발생하고 결과적으로 전체 네트워크의 성능이 감소하는 결과를 초래한다. 차세대 휴대 인터넷 기술인 와이브로(Wireless Broadband Internet. WiBro) 시스템에서도 역시 서비스 중인 단말이 핸드오버 시 동일한 문제가 발생한다. 특히 와이브로 시스템은 휴대성과 이동성을 보장하고 IEEE 802.16 표준을 기반으로 서비스 클래스에 따른 차별적인 서비스를 제공한다. 따라서 패킷 순서 뒤바뀜 문제를 해결하는 핸드오버 메커니즘이 휴대인터넷에서 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 와이브로 시스템에서 고속으로 이동 중인 단말이 핸드오버 시 발생할 수 있는 패킷 순서 뒤바뀜 문제를 해결하는 핸드오버 메커니즘을 제안 한다.

This paper presents fractional frequency reuse (FFR) with sub-channel borrowing to improve spectral efficiency of the wireless broadband (WiBro) system. FFR has constraints on usable sub-channels to balance the interference and cell capacity. Our FFR with sub-channel borrowing allows use of the dedicated sub-channels assigned to neighboring cells. Simulation results show that the proposed FFR with sub-channel borrowing improves the performance of the WiBro system.

In the next generation system, a study on realization of Multi-Core system is in progress for applying it in multi service network. Therefore some mobile systems are expected to be appeared. These systems can support WiBro, WCDMA, CDMA, etc with single terminal. These systems have to support various FA using broadband frequency and hand over to other service network. Especially, in the telecommunication system composed of cell, the transmit power can be interference at adjacent system, has effect on system channel capacity and cell size. In this paper, we improve the unstable transmit power caused by unsettled system operation, propose the RF(Radio Frequency) Calibration method which can use the transmit power stably even during hand over between heterogeneous networks causing unstable power change. Also we used proposed method and analysed used electricity of system during hand over between heterogeneous networks.

With the increasing deployment of mobile devices and the advent of broadband wireless access systems such as WiBro, WiMAX, and HSDPA, an efficient IP mobility management protocol becomes one of the most important technical issues for the successful deployment of the broadband wireless data networking service. IETF has proposed the Mobile IPv6(MIPv6) as the basic mobilitymanagement protocol for IPv6 networks. To enhance the performance of the basic MIPv6, researchers have been actively working on HMIPv6 and FMIPv6 protocols. In this paper, we propose a new mobility management protocol, HIMIPv6 (Highly Integrated MIPv6), which tightly integrates the hierarchical mobility management mechanism of the HMIPv6 and the proactive handover support of the FMIPv6 to enhance the handover performance especially for the cellular networking environment with high frequent handover activities. We have performed extensive simulation study using ns-2 and the results show that the proposed HIMIPv6 outperforms MIPv6, FMIPv6 and HMIPv6 in terms of signaling overhead, service interruption and packet lost during handovers.

Today, as various access technologies appear, for example WiMax, WiBro, the demand for spectrum is increasing rapidly. Spectrums are a national resource with scarcity value so that we need to a]locate them effectively for the national economy and industry. Accordingly, In the paper, we proposed several factors and new model for estimating spectrum requirements of a next generation mobile network with multimedia data services. These are self-similarity characteristics of data traffic, engineered capacity considering QoS, structure of FA increase, asymmetry of data traffic between uplink and downlink, handoff traffic, and uneven traffic pattern among base stations. It can applied mobile WiMax or other wireless broadband systems in general.

IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN aiming to broadband wireless access (BWA) is evolving to 4G mobile communication system through the standardization of IEEE 802.16e supporting mobility on existing fixed WirelessMAN system. It is necessary for hand-over to provide seamless data service while MS (Mobile Station) moves to another BS (Base Station). Because the performance of handover affects packet loss or delay of any communications, it must consider low latency handover mechanism in packet based network. In this paper, we describes handover scheme of IEEE 802.16e with the cell edge interference problem and shows the way to solve the problem in frequency reuse one deployment. Our scheme reduces the handover latency and packet loss probability.

This paper covers the service quality of packet-based voice service that is provided over wireless broadband (WiBro) and high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) systems. Using a measurement software that has been developed in the course of preparing a advanced service quality management scheme for the packet-based voice service over wireless networks, a huge scale of experiment is conducted to measure the real quality of the voice service. Based on our analysis of the measurement results, the service quality of the voice service is supposed to be quite good over both wireless systems. In addition, another experiment to investigate the effect of degradation of wireless transmission conditions on the service quality of the voice service shows the values of wireless service metrics in which mean opinion score (MOS) starts to decrease.
