모바일 트래픽 증대는 향후 급격히 증가할 것으로 예측되며 LTE에서 AII-IP기반의 고속 대용량 데이터처리는 망의 부하증가를 의미한다. 비디오 컨퍼런싱, 온라인 음악, 게임, 영화 스트리밍, 네트워크 브라우징, 블로깅 등 현재 온라인 상에서 급격하게 사용되고 있는 새로운 애플리케이션들은 높은 대역폭(Bandwidth)과 고속용량이 필요하고 망 운용자들은 대역폭과 네트워크 용량 한계점을 줄이기 위한 해결책에 관심을 갖게 되었다. 이를 위해 3GPP에서는 데이터 오프로딩(Data Offloading) 기술을 정의하였으며 이는 펨토셀과 non-3GPF액서스 망 등과 정합하는 기술을 제공하였다. 본고에서는 망의 부하를 줄이기 위한 이들 오프로딩 기술에 대한 요구사항, 구조 및 구현 시 고려해야 하는 주요 이슈들에 대해서 살펴본다.

Recently, many researchers claim that mobile data offloading is a key solution to alleviating overloaded cellular traffic by dividing the overloaded traffic with femtocells, WiFi networks or users. In this paper, we propose an idea to select a group of users, known as VIPs, that is able to effectively transfer the data to others using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise, also known as DBSCAN algorithm. We conducted our experiments using NCCU real trace dataset. The results show that our proposed idea offload about 70~77% of the network with VIP set size of four, which is better than the compared methods.

In this paper, we show how to provide high quality image service using cloud server and image quality enhancement algorithm. In other words, based on the concept of ViVa (Video Value Addition) proposed in the paper, we propose an improved system compared to the existing streaming service by providing a high-quality video with the transmission bit rate and calculation amount necessary to serve low-quality images.

비디오 컨텐츠 사용이 증가하면서, 사용자가 요구한 파일을 제시간 안에 전달하는 문제가 중요해졌다. 사용자와 가까운 곳에 파일을 캐싱해 두고 필요할 때 다운받으면 파일을 보다 빨리 전달할 수 있는데 사용자가 움직일 경우 이동성을 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 이동 경로와 파일의 인기도를 함께 고려해 딜레이드 오프로딩(delayed offloading) 스키마를 적용한 환경에서 마이크로 기지국(micro base station, MBS)에서 다운받는 데이터 크기를 최소로 만들어 비용을 최소화 하는 캐싱 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통해 타알고리즘에 비해 MBS 로부터 다운받는 양을 줄이고 스몰 셀 기지국(small cell base station, SBS)에서 다운받을 성공 확률을 높이는데 효과가 있다는 것을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a SDN-based fog computing service mobility support scheme. Fog computing architecture has been attracted because it enables task offloading services to IoT(Internet of Things) devices which has limited computing and power resources. However, since static as well as mobile IoT devices are candidate service targets for the fog computing service, the efficient task offloading scheme considering the mobility should be required. Especially for the IoT services which need low-latency response, the new connection and task offloading delay with the new fog computing node after handover can occur QoS(Quality of Service) degradation. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient service mobility support scheme which considers both task migration and flow rule pre-installations. Task migration allows for the service connectivity when the fog computing node needs to be changed. In addition, the flow rule pre-installations into the forwarding nodes along the path after handover enables to reduce the connection delay and service interruption time.

Recently, research on mobile edge services has been conducted to handle computationally intensive and latency-sensitive tasks occurring in wireless networks. However, MEC, which is fixed on the ground, cannot flexibly cope with situations where task processing requests increase sharply, such as commuting time. To solve this problem, a technology that provides edge services using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) has emerged. Unlike ground MEC servers, UAVs have limited battery capacity, so it is necessary to optimize energy efficiency through load balancing between UAV MEC servers. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a load balancing technique with consideration of the energy state of UAVs and the mobility of vehicles. The proposed technique is composed of task offloading scheme using genetic algorithm and task migration scheme using Q-learning. To evaluate the performance of the proposed technique, experiments were conducted with varying mobility speed and number of vehicles, and performance was analyzed in terms of load variance, energy consumption, communication overhead, and delay constraint satisfaction rate.

As the use of mobile data increases, the proportion of video content is increasing steeply. In order to solve problems that arise when mobile users receive data from geographically remote cloud servers, methods of caching data in advance to edge servers geographically close to the users are attracting lots of attention. In this paper, we present a caching policy that stores data on Small Cell Base Station(SBS) to effectively provide content files to mobile users by applying a delayed offloading scheme in a cellular network. The goal of the proposed policy is to minimize the size of data transmitted from Macro Base Station(MBS) because the delayed offloading scheme requires more cost than when downloaded from MBS than from SBS. The caching policy is proposed to determine the size of content file and which content file to be cached to SBS using the probability of mobile users' paths and the popularity of content files, and to replace content files in consideration of the overlapping coverage of SBS. In addition, through performance evaluation, it has been proven that the proposed policy reduces the size of data downloaded from MBS compared to other algorithms.

In this study, MEC (: Multi-access Edge Computing) proposes a cloud service network configuration for various tests of autonomous vehicles to which V2X (: Vehicle to Everything) is applied in Wave, LTE, and 5G networks and MEC App (: Application) applied V2X service function test verification of two domains (operator (KT, SKT, LG U+), network type (Wave, LTE (including 3G), 5G)) in a specific region. In 4G networks of domestic operators (SKT, KT, LG U+ and Wave), MEC summarized the improvement effects through V2X function blocks and traffic offloading for the purpose of bringing independent network functions. And with a high level of QoS value in the V2X VNF of the 5G network, the traffic steering function scenario was demonstrated on the destination-specific traffic path.
