The efficiency and safety of social-overhead capital (SOC) public infrastructures have become an eminent social concern. In this regard, a continuous structural health monitoring has been widely implemented to oversee the robustness of such public infrastructures for the safety of the public. This paper deals with the analysis of a distributed mobility management (DMM) support for wireless sensor network (WSN) based information transmission system. The partial DMM support separates the data and control plane infrastructures, wherein, the control plane is managed by a particular mobility management network entity, while the data plane is distributed by the mobility anchors. The system will be able to optimize the information transmission for a wireless structural health monitoring of SOC public infrastructures specifically designed for bridges, and thus, guarantees the safety of public commuters.

Nowadays, distributed mobility management (DMM) approaches have been widely adopted to address the limitations of centralized architectural methods to support seamless data transmission schemes in wireless sensor networks. This paper deals with the end-to-end (E2E) integration of Network Mobility (NEMO) basic support protocol in distributed wireless sensor network systems in structural health and environmental monitoring of social overhead capital (SOC) public infrastructures such as bridges, national highways, tunnels, and railroads. The proposed scheme takes advantage of the features of both the NEMO basic support protocol and partially distributed network-based DMM framework in providing seamless data transmission and robust mobility support. The E2E seamless data transmission scheme allows mobile users to roam from fixed-point network access locations and mobile platforms (i.e., vehicles such as cars, buses, and trains) without disconnecting its current sessions (i.e., seamless handover).

The constrained application protocol (CoAP) can be used for remotely controlling various sensor devices in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. In CoAP, to support the handover of a mobile sensor device, service discovery and message transmission needs to be repeated, although doing so would increase the handover delay significantly. To address this limitation of CoAP, a centralized CoAP scheme has been proposed. However, it tends to result in performance degradation for an inter-domain handover case. In this letter, we propose a distributed CoAP handover scheme to support the inter-domain handover. In the proposed scheme, a distributed mobility agent (DMA) is used for managing the location of mobile sensors in a domain and performing handover control operations with its neighboring DMAs in a distributed manner. A performance comparison reveals that the proposed scheme offers a performance improvement of up to 29.5% in terms of the handover delay.

The number of mobile devices roaming into a ubiquitous city (u-city) continues to rise as wireless systems have been widely deployed. The number of mobile devices also varies with time, and they tend to frequently change their locations. In addition, the available wireless access networks may belong to different domains, administrations, management, and internet service providers (ISPs). A fusion of overlapping heterogeneous wireless access networks (e.g., WiMax, Wi-Fi, LTE, etc.) serves the u-city in order to reach different coverage. In this context, technical challenges arise in mobility management for heterogeneous networks to realize their potential coverage and capacity benefits. This paper deals with the analysis of a decentralized mobility management support for u-City wireless network infrastructure. This scheme takes advantage of the features of the fully-distributed model of networked-based mobility management protocol to alleviate and realize the ubiquitous requirements of a u-City.

N-screen is an emerging technology to support multimedia multicasting, content sharing and content mobility. N-screen service providers should obtain the technology that provides the highest quality content seamlessly. Distributed nature of WiMedia distributed-MAC protocol can provide full mobility support, and achieves seamless medium access method in contrast to IEEE 802.15.3. So, in this paper, WiMedia distributed-MAC protocol is adopted and an asynchronous multicast transmission (AMT) technology is proposed to enhance performance of seamless N-screen wireless service based on distributed-MAC. The ACK frame transmissions are not required for multicast transmissions. By using this property in AMT, if a device is a multicast receiver, its reserved time slots can be reserved by the other devices with 1-hop distance. Furthermore, each N-screen device broadcasts and shares the information including an order in asynchronous traffic reservations to reduce conflicts in determining the transmission order of asynchronous N-screen packets. Therefore, AMT scheme expands the number of time slots available and throughputs for multicast and asynchronous traffic reservations when comparing with the distributed-MAC standard system. N-screen communications based on distributed-MAC with the proposed AMT shows a new framework for realizing N-screen wireless service with the full content mobility.

기존의 중앙 집중식 이동성 관리 방식은 홈 네트워크에 위치한 이동성 앵커에 모든 데이터 및 제어가 집중되므로 단일 오류 문제, 병목 구간 발생 등의 문제가 있다. 최근 단말의 이동성을 분산된 이동성 앵커들에 의해 제공하기 위한 방안으로 분산 이동성 관리 방식들이 연구 중이다. 현재 제안된 분산 이동성 관리 방식들은 이동성 앵커의 장애가 발생하는 경우에 대해서는 고려하지 않고 있으나 전술망에서는 이동성 앵커의 이동, 정비, 장애등으로 서비스가 중단되는 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 앵커 장애 발생 시에도 핸드오버가 가능한 새로운 전술 분산 이동성 관리 기법을 제안하였다. 시그널링 비용 및 핸드오버 지연시간의 수학적인 분석을 통해 제안한 기법의 성능을 검증하였다.

In this paper, we address the problem of fast handover support for future internet networks. The current mobility support protocols, for example Proxy Mobile IPv6, follow a centralized architecture in which a mobility controller is used to manage intra-network handovers that gives rise to high handover latency. To handle this problem, we propose a novel distributed mobility control architecture in which gateways in the network can exchange user information with neighbour gateways to support intra-network handovers, the mobility controller is only needed in case of inter-network handovers. Simulation results show that our architecture reduce approximately 20% intra-network handover latency than Proxy Mobile IPv6.

스마트 폰을 중심으로 하는 이동단말들의 폭발적인 증가로 인해 모바일 데이터 트래픽 또한 기하 급수적으로 증가해 왔으며 이로 인해 발생되는 네트워크의 부하를 줄이면서 동시에 이동단말의 이동시에도 서비스 제공에 영향을 주지 않기 위한 여러 이동성 관리 방안들이 Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) 및 Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)를 통해 제안되어 왔다. 최근에는 이동성 관리의 주체가 되는 네트워크 시스템들을 가능한 분산시킴으로써 네트워크의 확장성 및 신뢰성을 높이기 위한 노력들이 진행 중에 있다. IETF에서는 분산형 이동성 관리 방법으로 Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) 방식을 표준화 중에 있으며 세부적으로는 부분 분산형 방식과 완전 분산형 방식을 포함하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) 기반의 네트워크를 대상으로 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)를 확장, 적용하는 완전 분산형 이동성 관리 방법 (FuDMM)을 제안하였으며, 기존 방식들과의 정성적 비교를 통해 FuDMM에 대한 성능 측면의 장단점을 분석하였다.

In this paper, a collision-free resource reservation scheme for WUSB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus) networks with WiMedia D-MAC (Distributed Medium Access Control). Since distributed characteristic of the WiMedia D-MAC supporting DRP (Distributed Reservation Protocol) scheme may cause lots of conflicts, overall performances of the WUSB with WiMedia D-MAC can be deteriorated. In addition, when we consider multi-hop environment, "mobile" hidden node problem due to mobility of WUSB devices can be happened, and it is a critical problem to mobile WUSB devices transceiving real-time QoS (Quality of Service) traffic. To tackle the problem, we propose a new DRP reservation mechanism to prevent DRP conflicts for multi-hop mobility support in WUSB networks with WiMedia D-MAC and show its improved performance via simulation results.

본 논문에서는 UWB 기술 기반 WiMedia Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) 프로토콜에서, 디바이스들의 이동성으로 인해 발생하는 Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) 예약 충돌 현상을 분석한다. 그리고 DRP 예약 충돌 시 발생하는 성능 저하를 감소시키기 위해 Conflict Resolution (CR) 방식과 DRP 릴레이 기술을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 DRP 릴레이 프로토콜은 충돌대상 디바이스에게 예약된 자원을 유지할 수 있도록, DRP 예약 충돌 시 릴레이 노드를 경유하여 다른 Indirect Link 링크를 빠르게 예약할 수 있는 분산적인 자원 예약 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이동성 환경을 고려한 시뮬레이션 결과는 CR 기술과 함께 DRP 릴레이 기술을 적용하여, 디바이스들의 이동성이 증가하더라도 수율 감소를 방지할 수 있음을 나타내었다.
