Mobile grid is a combination of grid computing and mobile computing to build grid systems in a wireless mobile environment. The development of network technology is assisting in realizing mobile grid. Mobile grid based on established grid infrastructures needs effective resource management and reliable job scheduling because mobile grid utilizes not only static grid resources but also dynamic grid resources with mobility. However, mobile devices are considered as unavailable resources in traditional grids. Mobile resources should be integrated into existing grid sites. Therefore, this paper presents a mobile grid middleware interconnecting existing grid infrastructures with mobile resources and a mobile service agent installed on the mobile resources. This paper also proposes a mobile resource reliability-based job scheduling model in order to overcome the unreliability of wireless mobile devices and guarantee stable and reliable job processing. In the proposed job scheduling model, the mobile service agent calculates the mobile resource reliability of each resource by using diverse reliability metrics and predicts it. The mobile grid middleware allocated jobs to mobile resources by predicted mobile resource reliability. We implemented a simulation model that simplifies various functions of the proposed job scheduling model by using the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) which is the formalism for modeling and analyzing a general system. We also conducted diverse experiments for performance evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model can assist in improving the performance of mobile grid in comparison with existing job scheduling models.

2004년도 1분기 현재 세계 이동통신 가입자는 약13억 4,800만명으로 인구대비 보급률은 아직 29%에 불과하나, 2004년 5월 현재 국내 이동 전화 가입자는 3천 6백만 명을 넘어서, 인구대비 보급률 75%를 상회하면서 우리 나라도 이동통신강국에 진입하고 있다. 무선인터넷 서비스는 1999년 5월 처음 서비스를 제공한 이후 통신사의 꾸준한 투자와 단말기의 고급화(컬러폰, 디지털 카메라폰) 및 번호이동성 (MNP) 제도도입 등으로 지속적인 증가추세로 2004년 5월 현재 무선인터넷 가입자는 총 3천 450만 명으로 이동전화 가입자 대비 95.3%의 가입률을 기록하고 있다. 이동전화 시장은 요금인하 또는 품질개선 등의 지속적인 질적 경쟁보다는 가입자의 양적 유치경쟁에 치우치고 있어 이용자들이 다양한 무선인터넷 서비스를 합리적으로 선택할 수 있도록 무선인터넷 서비스의 사전 요금정보의 제공과 무선인터넷 서비스의 요금체계 개선을 위하여 본 논문에서는 무선 인터넷의 접속 및 컨텐츠 다운로드로 DATA를 측정하고 결과를 분석하여 과금 체계의 개선방향을 제시하여 무선인터넷 서비스의 활성화에 기여하고자 한다.

Reconfigurable radio technology is needed to reconstruct frequency and modem functionality, which can be different in various regions. In addition, it makes a single mobile handset capable of supporting various standards of wireless communication and thus plays a key role in mobile convergence. An MMIC VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) has been developed for high power and wide bandwidth where Clapp-Gouriet type oscillators are adapted for series feedback, and was fabricated based on 0.15um pHEMT of TRW. The MMIC VCO was connected to an aluminar substrate on the carrier for testing. This MMIC VCO module showed good performance in comparison to existing works. Furthermore, it can be potentially extended to reconfigure an MMIC VCO for wireless systems such as military applications and satellite communications.

M-Commerce 사용자가 다양한 서비스를 안전하게 제공받으려면 통신하려는 상대방을 인증해야 하고, 통신하는 개체들 사이에 설정한 세션키를 사용하여 통신 메시지를 암호화하여야 한다. 하지만 M-Commerce 환경은 유선통신 환경에 비해 제약점이 있으므로 이를 고려한 효율적인 인증 및 키교환 프로토콜의 제안이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 타원곡선 암호시스템을 사용한 효율적인 인증 및 키교환 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 프로토콜은 무선통신 사업자가 계산과정 일부를 대신 수행함으로써 이동통신 사용자의 계산량을 줄였고, 무선통신 구간에서 효율적으로 사용자를 인증할 수 있도록 패스워드 기반 인증방식을 사용하였다. 또한 M-Commerce 호스트에게 사용자의 신원을 직접 드러내지 않음으로써 이동통신 사용자의 익명성을 보장하며, 사용자와 호스트 사이의 통신내용을 무선통신 사업자를 포함한 제 3자가 알지 못하게 함으로써 통신정보의 기밀성을 보장한다.

This paper focuses on a method to connect mobile devices such as mobile robot. Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) and Unmanned Container Transporter(UCT) to a fieldbus. In this paper, the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is used to extend a Profibus network for the mobile devices. In order to integrate these two networks, a gateway is developed using two threads and an internal buffer. Furthermore, a polling algorithm is applied at the gateway in order to satisfy real-time requirements on data communication, Finally, the performance measures such as data latency and throughput are experimentally evaluated on a wirelessly-extended Profibus network. The results shows the feasibility of the wireless extension of Profilbus for various mobile device.

Nowadays, wireless packet data services are provided over Wireless MAN (WMAN) at a high data service rate, while 3G cellular networks provide wide-area coverage at a low data service rate. The integration of mobile WiMAX and 3G networks is essential, to serve users requiring both high-speed wireless access as well as wide-area connectivity. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer optimization scheme for a vertical handover between mobile WiMAX and 3G cellular networks. More specifically, L2 (layer 2) and L3 (layer 3) signaling messages for a vertical handover are analyzed and reordered/combined, to optimize the handover procedure. Extensive simulations using ns-2 demonstrate that the proposed scheme enhances the performance of a vertical handover between mobile WiMAX and 3G networks: low handover latency, high TCP throughput, and low UDP packet loss ratio.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are self-organized networks that typically consist of thousands of low-cost, low-powered sensor nodes. The reliability and availability of WSNs can be affected by faults, including those from radio interference, battery exhaustion, hardware and software failures, communication link errors, malicious attacks, and so on. Thus, we propose a novel multi-agent fault tolerant system for wireless sensor networks. Since a major requirement of WSNs is to reduce energy consumption, we use multi-agent and mobile agent configurations to manage WSNs that provide energy-efficient services. Mobile agent architecture have inherent advantages in that they provide energy awareness, scalability, reliability, and extensibility. Our multi-agent system consists of a resource manager, a fault tolerance manager and a load balancing manager, and we also propose fault-tolerant protocols that use multi-agent and mobile agent setups.

In this paper, the position control of a car-like mobile robot using neural network is proposed. The positional information of the mobile robot is given by a laser range finder located remotely through wireless communication. The heading angle is measured by a gyro sensor. Considering these two sensor information as references, the robot posture by localization is corrected by a cascaded controller. In order to improve the tracking performance, a neural network with a cascaded controller is used to compensate for any uncertainty in the robot. The remotely located neural network filter modifies the reference trajectories to minimize the positional errors by wireless communication. A car-like mobile robot is built as a test-bed and experimental studies of proposed several control algorithms are performed. It turns out that the best position control can be achieved by a cascaded controller with neural network.

The IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) standard is designed to correct expensive communication costs in CDMA-based mobile communication systems and limited coverage problems in wireless LAN systems. Thus, the IEEE 802.16e standard can provide mobile high-speed packet access between mobile stations and the Internet service provider through the base station with cheap communication fees. To efficiently accommodate voice over IP (VoIP) services in IEEE 802.16 systems, an uplink quality of service packet-scheduling scheme is proposed, and its performance is evaluated with an NS-2 network simulator in this paper. Numerical results show that this proposed scheme can increase the system capacity by 100% more than in the unsolicited rand service (UGS) scheme and 30% more than the extended real-time polling service (ertPS) scheme, respectively.
