In information society, Convergence was combined with a word 'digital'. Digital convergence means a service or new product which appeared through fusion of unit technologies in information and communication regions. The effects of convergence technologies and social phenomenons are visualized in overall regions of society such as economy, society, culture, etc. In this paper, we described a prospects and technologies needed in digital convergence environment. And we described a wearable computer which was leading case in digital convergence.

The capacity of wireless communications has been considered to be restricted by their fundamental limits, which were first formulated by Shannon in 1948. These limits are for the communication environment that is composed of a transmitter and receiver pair. However, there are usually more than one simultaneously communicating pairs in the environment. In such cases, the capacity is not known. Moreover, performance requirements have been diversified with the development of technology. We believe that wireless communication technologies will eventually progress toward limitless connections. Various wireless transmission and access technologies are introduced in order to overcome their limitations.

As the IoT industry expands, various application services based on location information of devices are released. In order to transmit the location information, various wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are used. However, these technologies have limited coverage, and cellular networks with relatively wide coverage have the disadvantage of paying for use. In this paper, we implemented our own location information system using LoRa, a low power long distance wireless communication technology. As a result, no cost is incurred and it has relatively wider coverage than other wireless communication technologies using LoRa technology. The implementation system enables LoRa communication based on IPv6 using CoAP and 6LoWPAN, and enables multiple devices to interwork with the existing Internet environment.

A successful deployment of multimedia applications over wireless environments entails improving the quality of service (QoS), not only from a technical point of view, but also considering the quality of experience (QoE) from the final user's perception. Although objective QoE measure models avoid the difficulties of subjective surveys, subjective QoE assessments are essential to understand the way users evaluate the QoS. In this work, we study the effect of a wide range of parameters on the QoE of VVoIP applications in a real wireless scenario. Through a complete statistical analysis of users' ratings, we identify the following facts. Although the use of VVoIP in wireless networks does not yet represent an advantage for users, there are great expectations for all applications under study, and with greater popularity comes higher expectations. It is easier for respondents to identify good behavior than poor behavior. Whereas the respondents' frequency of Internet use does not impact on the scores, respondents' gender does. Finally, the most determining parameters of quality from a user's perspective were instability, video quality, voice distortion, usefulness, and graphical interface.

Satellite communications are vulnerable to malicious eavesdroppers and interceptors due to wide coverage and broadcasting applications. However, technologies for securing satellite networks have yet to be more articulated beyond high-layer packet encryption. As attempts for jamming and spoofing attacks spread out, it is extremely critical to invest on the development of physical layer security solutions. In this paper, we review current technologies for satellite communication network security both in high and physical layers. We also present recent research results on physical layer security in the fields of information theory and wireless networks. We suggest a future direction for satellite communication security, including a cross-layer approach.

Power system technologies in the area of smart grid are being converged with communication system technologies or information technologies(IT). This interdisciplinary action affects on two parts vigorously so that IT has become a essential part of power industry. But terminologies of two parts are confused and it is necessary that these are standardized to develop the industry. The writing system of the Open Korean Knowledge Dictionary for standardization of smart grid terminologies which are IEC TC 57 glossary and non-glossary is proposed. The writing system includes the process of collection, writing guideline and standardization of terminologies. Writing results of 90,000 terminologies for electricity, communication and computer fields including smart grid terminologies, which are registered in the Open Korean Knowledge Dictionary, are shown. The system provides the capability of collection and delivery of academic society opinions for the selected and interpreted terminologies through the internet for standardization and industry propagation of smart grid terminologies.

The world is facing an unprecedented economic, social and political crisis with the spread of COVID-19. The Corona Virus (COVID-19) and its global spread have resulted in declaring a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The deadly pandemic of 21st century has spread its wings across the globe with an exponential increase in the number of cases in many countries. The developing and underdeveloped countries are struggling hard to counter the rapidly growing and widespread challenge of COVID-19 because it has greatly influenced the global economies whereby the underdeveloped countries are more affected by its devastating impacts, especially the life of the low-income population. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) were particularly useful in spreading key emergency information and helping to maintain extensive social distancing. Updated information and testing results were published on national and local government websites. Mobile devices were used to support early testing and contact tracing. The government provided free smartphone apps that flagged infection hotspots with text alerts on testing and local cases. The purpose of this research work is to provide an in depth overview of emerging technologies and recent ICT developments to combat COVID-19 Pandemic. Finally, the author highlights open challenges in order to give future research directions.

In this study, we conducted technology monitoring to search for the current technology level and new technologies targeting the core technologies selected as "convergence technologies based on advanced ICT". This technology group, selected by the National Research Foundation(NRF) as one of the future-emerging technologies in 2018, consists of 'next-generation millimeter wave wireless communication technology', 'data-centric computing technology', and 'immersive media interface' that can be seen as important technologies in the fourth industrial revolution. It is possible to provide strategic research direction to the R&D-related stakeholders of countries or enterprises by providing information on newly emerged technologies through quantitative analysis based on patent data on these technologies. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a new technology for the convergence technologies based on advaned ICT group through patent data based on the newly emerged IPC code, and also suggested that it can suggest a strategic direction in planning R&D on related technologies.
