MBS (Multicast Broadcast Service) is defined in WiBro networks for implementing multicast-based services. However, most of the WiBro networks currently used in Korea do not have the MBS functionality and it causes some difficulty in implementing multicast-based services. This paper evaluates the performance of VoIP-based group communication services when implementing using the following two cases: unicast-based and multicast-based group communication systems. The performance evaluation is done using QualNet for each case in terms of the amount of network resource for the service, the delay and delay jitter of packets, and the difference of the delay of members in a group. The simulation result shows that the number of groups and members in a group in a WiBro network is limited because the amount of network resource for the service is increased according to the number of members in a group, and so, the MBS service is required in a WiBro network for a fully-fledged service of VoIP-based group communications. The simulation result also shows that, when a packet bundling is used, the number of groups and members in a group that can be supported in a WiBro network can be increased due to the decrease of the amount of network resource for the service.

This paper analytically evaluates the FEC(Forward Error Correction) symbol size's effect on the performance and energy consumption of 802.11 protocol with the block FEC algorithm over WSN(Wireless Sensor Network). Since the basic recovery unit of block FEC algorithms is symbols not bits, the FEC symbol size affects the packet correction rate even with the same amount of FEC check bits over a given WSN channel. Precisely, when the same amount of FEC check bits are allocated, the small-size symbols are effective over channels with frequent short bursts of propagation errors while the large ones are good at remedying the long rare bursts. To estimate the effect of the FEC symbol site, the paper at first models the WSN channel with Gilbert model based on real packet traces collected over TIP50CM sensor nodes and measures the energy consumed for encoding and decoding the RS (Reed-Solomon) code with various symbol sizes. Based on the WSN channel model and each RS code's energy expenditure, it analytically calculates the transmission efficiency and power consumption of 802.11 equipped with RS code. The computational analysis combined with real experimental data shows that the RS symbol size makes a difference of up to 4.2% in the transmission efficiency and 35% in energy consumption even with the same amount of FEC check bits.

In this paper, we propose a reliable high-speed UDP-based media transport with an adaptive error control. The proposed adaptive transport scheme controls the amount of redundancy by monitoring the network in order to adapt to network fluctuations efficiently. The feedback of receiver enables the sender to be aware of current reception status (i.e., rate and type of packet loss) and to estimate the expected network status. Based on this, the proposed transport attempts to enable reliable transport by adaptively controlling the amount of both whole sending rate and the ratio for adaptive FEC code. Experiment with high-speed network has been conducted to verify the performance of the proposed system that demonstrates the enhanced reliability of the proposed transport at the speed of up to several hundred Mbps.

This paper proposes an energy transmission method to maximize energy efficiency of a based station. This method makes use of classification of service type to solve an inefficient use of transmission power, which is from exponential relationship between the legacy data throughput and transmission power. The proposed one is a way to find the most energy-efficiency points with the transmitted optimal amount of data on users in a base station of wireless network environment. For this, we propose EETA (Energy-Efficient Transmission Algorithm) which can control the amount of data and the holding time at the base station. As a result, the proposed method can improve the energy efficiency of about 10% compared to the legacy base station.

With the advent of B-ISDN based on ATM technonlogy, ther are increasing needs for the interconnection of existing LAN/MAN's through ATM networks. ATM networks, therefore, must provide connectionless service. In this paper, the traffic distributio scheme using multi-path is proposed to support efficient connectionless service in ATM networks. Because the proposed scheme distributed the bursty traffic arrived in the interworking unit (IWU) and the connectionless server (CLS) from LAN-terminals, it alleviates the packet loss ratio caused by buffer overflow at IWU/CLS and is able to use nettowrk resources efficiently according to the network conditions and the amount of the traffic arrived at IWU/CLS. This paper presents the distribution algorithm and the IWU/CLS, CLS-CLS closed-loop rate control scheme.

Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) consists of a lot of light-weight sensor nodes with the capability of wireless communication. Studies have been done to improve stability and fault-tolerancy of WSN because the sensor nodes are basically vulnerable to the harsh environment. Specially, the time synchronization among sensor nodes becomes a challenging issue in WSN. All the local times should always keep the same with each other in the sensor field to perform data aggregation and energy-aware communication in WSN. In this paper, a new time synchronization technique is proposed to operate efficiently irrespective of the number of sensor nodes and the number of hops needed to cover all sensor nodes for synchronization. Simulation results show that the proposed technique has the lowest amount of packet traffic among the several time synchronization techniques.

To accommodate the rapid increase in the amount of data traffic, the capacity of datacenters is expanding rapidly. Datacenter networks (DCNs) utilize electronic packet switches. However, the increases in the speed and capacity of electronic devices are slower than that of data expansion. Furthermore, electronics are too well developed to reach very near their physical limits. To achieve a breakthrough under this situation, optical switching schemes have been widely examined to replace or collaborate with incumbent electronic switches in a DCN. This report reviews the current status of such global researches on an optical DCN.

Scalable video coding (SVC) has been standardized as an extension of the H.264/AVC standard. SVC allows straightforward adaptation of video streams by providing layered bit streams. In this paper, we propose a SVC video-based multicasting system preserving scalable security which is able to provide a SVC video service while maintaining information security. In order to maintain information security between a server and a client during all transmission time, the proposed system immediately performs a packet filtering process without decoding with respect to encrypted data received in a routing device, thereby reducing an amount of calculations and latency.

Wakeup schemes that turn off sensors' radio when communication is not necessary have great potential in energy saving. At the start of each beacon interval in the IEEE 802.11 power saving mode specified for DCF, each node periodically wakes up for duration called the ATIM Window. However, in the power saving mechanism specified in IEEE 802.11, all nodes use the same ATIM window size. Since the ATIM window size critically affects throughput and energy consumption, a fixed ATIM window does not perform well in all situations. This paper proposes an adaptive mechanism to dynamically choose an ATIM window size according to network condition. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the IEEE 802.11 power saving mechanism in terms of the amount of power consumed and the packet delivery ratio.

Ad Hoc network not only can be the constitution of multiple piconet, but also can be the extension to the scatternet. By changing the length of the packets, it will transmit packets according to the amount of the transmission. There are two forms of the bluetooth. The one is the DM which is slower in speed but higher in reliance than the DH. The other is the DH which is faster in speed but lower in reliance than the DM. This paper tries to compare and analyze the performances of mobile hosts according to the forms of the packets in bluetooth Ad Hoc network.
