TFRC(TCP-Friendly Rate Control) is proposed to satisfy the demands of multimedia applications while being reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP flows[1-3]. However, TFRC has a shortcoming that the fairness and throughput are degraded when the mobile host using TFRC experiences handoffs. This paper proposes a new control mechanism based on TFRC, which deals with the congestion caused by handoffs as well as the losses caused during the handoffs. The simulation results show that our mechanism achieves better throughput and fairness compared to TFRC for repeated handoffs.

To connect a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) with an IP network and to carryout communication, ad hoc network node needs to be configured with unique IP adress. Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server autoconfigure nodes in wired networks. However, this cannot be applied to ad hoc network without introducing some changes in auto configuration mechanism, due to intrinsic properties (i.e., multi-hop, dynamic, and distributed nature) of the network. In this paper, we propose a scalable autoconfiguration scheme for MANETs with hierarchical topology consisting of leader and member nodes, by considering the global Internet connectivity with minimum overhead. In our proposed scheme, a joining node selects one of the pre-configured nodes for its duplicate address detection (DAD) operation. We reduce overhead and make our scheme scalable by eliminating the broadcast of DAD messages in the network. We also propose the group leader election algorithm, which takes into account the resources, density, and position information of a node to select a new leader. Our simulation results show that our proposed scheme is effective to reduce the overhead and is scalable. Also, it is shown that the proposed scheme provides an efficient method to heal the network after partitioning and merging by enhancing the role of bordering nodes in the group.

Many simulators have been developed and are being used for the complex and various mobile communication service environments. Each of these simulators has its own teletraffic model that consists of traffic source model and network traffic model. In this paper, network traffic model and traffic source model, which are based on the data gathered in real environment, are defined in order to get more accurate simulation results in the mobile communication simulation for the urban region. The network traffic model suggested in this paper reflects the hourly call generation rate and call duration time by analyzing the data collected from actually installed base station by the time and place, and the traffic source model includes the delivery share ratio and average speed information in the region where the base station is installed. This paper defined and designed Mobile Host object that reflects the suggested traffic source model, and Call Generator object that reflects the network traffic model, and other objects support both objects. Using the teletraffic model suggested in the paper, user mobility similar to real service environment and traffic characteristics can be reflected on the simulation, and also more accurate simulation results can be got through that. In addition, by using object-oriented techniques, new service feature or environment can be easily added or changed so that the developed mobile communication simulator can reflect the real service environment all the time.

With the recent advancements in various wireless communication technologies, the importance of mobile multicasting is coming to the fore, in an effort to use network resources more efficiently. In the past, when various mobile IP-based multicast techniques were proposed, the focus was put on the costs needed for network delivery for providing multicast services, as well as on minimizing the multicast handover delay. For techniques using MIPv6 (Mobile IPv6), a host-based mobility management protocol, however, it is fundamentally difficult to resolve the problems of handover delay and tunnel convergence. To resolve these problems, a network-based mobility management protocol called PMIPv6 (Proxy Mobile IPv6) was standardized. Although performance is improved in PMIPv6 over MIPv6, it still suffers from the problems of handover delay and tunnel convergence. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, a technique called LFH (Low-cost and Fast Handoff) is proposed for fast and low-cost mobility management with multicasting support in PMIPv6 networks. To reduce the interactions between the complex multicast routing protocol and the multicast messages, a simplified proxy method called MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) is implemented and modified. Furthermore, a TCR (Tunnel Combination and Reconstruction) algorithm was used in the multicast handover procedure within the LMA (Local Mobility Anchor) domain, as well as in the multicast handover procedure between domains, in order to overcome the problem of tunnel convergence. As a result, it was found that LFH has reduced multicast delay compared to other types of multicast techniques, and that it requires lower costs as well.

Recently, there are a number of researches and developments for the personalized software platform for mobility based on SaaS. The platform requires an optimal virtual machine in order to satisfy the operating systems of various users for the software. In addition, the platform must guarantee the mobility of the users' working environments by supporting fast and secure services between internal and external networks in the platform operating systems. In order to verify the optimal behaviors of virtual machines for the platform, the performance of the virtual machines must be measured and analyzed in various perspectives. In the previous research, unfortunately, the performance of a virtual machine were conducted in the condition that a guest operating system was installed on the virtual machine and considered as a computer, by measuring the network traffic between the guest operating system and an external client operating system. This performance measurement was not suitable for a virtual machine for the platform since a number of different software must be handled in the virtual machine. In order to overcome this limitation, this paper presents a measurement method for network performance and proposes the most optimal virtual machine by the method.

In recent years, there are increasing threats of rootkits that undermine the integrity of a system by manipulating OS kernel. To cope with the rootkits, in Vigilare, the snoop-based monitoring which snoops the memory traffics of the host system was proposed. Although the previous work shows its detection capability and negligible performance loss, the problem is that the proposed design is not acceptable in recent commodity mobile application processors (APs) which have become de facto the standard computing platforms of smart devices. To mend this problem and adopt the idea of snoop-based monitoring in commercial products, in this paper, we propose a snoop-based monitor design called S-Mon, which is designed for the AP platforms. In designing S-Mon, we especially consider two design constraints in the APs which were not addressed in Vigilare; the unified memory model and the crossbar switch interconnect. Taking into account those, we derive a more realistic architecture for the snoop-based monitoring and a new hardware module, called the region controller, is also proposed. In our experiments on a simulation framework modeling a productionquality device, it is shown that our S-Mon can detect the rootkit attacks while the runtime overhead is also negligible.

In this paper, we study a multicast transport technique for multimedia services of mobile hosts in wireless network environments. To reduce packet loss during hand-off, we propose a Pre-join scheme in overlapped area and a Buffering scheme in crossover routers. To support seamless service in real time multimedia application, these scheme use an optimal path routing which was provided in remote subscription scheme and a prediction scheme of host movements which was considered overlapped area. To evaluate the peformance of our scheme, we compare Bi-direction tunneling of mobile If, Remote subscription, and MoM by using NS-2. As a result, our scheme shows better performance in network overhead, packet loss and bandwidth's use than other schemes.

In this paper, we design a mobile camera processor to support the MIPI CSI-2 and DPHY specification. The lane management sub-layer of CIS2 handles multi-lane configuration. Thus conceptually, the transmitter and receiver have each independent buffer on multi lanes. In the proposed architecture, the independent buffers are merged into a single common buffer. The single buffer architecture can flexibly manage data on multi lanes though the number of supported lanes are mismatched in a camera processor transmitter and a host processor. For a key issue for the data synchronization problem, the synchronization start codes are added as the starting for image data. We design synchronization logic to synchronize the received clock and to generate the byte clock. We present the verification results under proposed test bench. And we show the waves of simulation and logic synthesis results of the designed processor.

The existing mobility management schemes do not fully support the next generation network, which is composed of IP-based core network and various access networks. Currently, ETRI has been developing the AIMS (Access Independent Mobility Service) system which satisfies the ITU-T requirements of mobility management in the next generation network. The AIMS system is designed to provide a mobile host with a fast and reliable mobility service among heterogeneous access networks. Recently, many user devices have multiple communication interfaces, e.g., 3G and WLAN, and thus they can make two or more network connections at the same time. In this paper, we design a scheme of flow mobility, i.e., the movement of selected data flows from one access technology to another, to be applied in the AIMS system, and verify the proposed scheme through the NS-3 simulation study. From the simulation results, we can know that the proposed flow mobility scheme can utilize the network resource efficiently in the heterogeneous mobile networks.
