  • Multimedia applications over wireless networks have been evolving to augmented reality or virtual reality services. However, a rich data size compared to conventional multimedia services causes bandwidth bottlenecks over wireless networks, which is one of the main reasons why those applications are not used widely. To overcome this limitation, bandwidth aggregation techniques, which exploit a multi-path transmission, have been considered to maximize link utilization. Currently, most of the conventional researches have been focusing on the user end problems to improve the quality of service (QoS) through optimal load distribution. In this paper, we address the joint pricing and load distribution problem for multi-homing in heterogeneous wireless access networks (ANs), considering the interests of both the users and the service providers. Specifically, we consider profit from resource allocation and cost of power consumption expenditure for operation as an utility of each service provider. Here, users decide how much to request the resource and how to split the resource over heterogeneous wireless ANs to minimize their cost while supporting the required QoS. Then, service providers compete with each other by setting the price to maximize their utilities over user reactions. We study the behaviors of users and service providers by analyzing their hierarchical decision-making process as a multileader-, multifollower Stackelberg game. We show that both the user and service provider strategies are closed form solutions. Finally, we discuss how the proposed scheme is well converged to equilibrium points.

  • 서울특별시 소재 대형 상업건물중 50개 에너지 다소비업체를 선정하여 에너지 사용실태를 조사하였다. 조사대상 건물은 병원, 호텔, 백화점/사무실 등 3개 집단으로 분류하여 시설현황, 에너지사용량, 부하분포특성 등을 분석하였다. 여름철 냉방전력 사용량이 열부하 피크 발생에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 이를 열병합발전-흡수식 냉동기 방식으로 대체할 경우 전기부하 분포가 연간 비교적 일정하게 변환시킬 수 있어 열부하추종운전방식에 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 단일건물의 경우 연간열부하분포가 경제적 규모에 미달하여 단독으로 열병합발전 설비를 도입하기에는 미흡한 점이 있어 다수건물을 대상으로 하는 공동 열병합발전 방식이 보다 유리한 것으로 판단된다. 이를 추진하기에는 전기사업법, 액화천연가스 요금체계 등과 같은 법제도의 정비가 선결되어야 할 것이다.
