Device-to-Device (D2D) communications can provide proximity based services in the future 5G cellular networks. It allows short range communication in a limited area with the advantages of power saving, high data rate and traffic offloading. However, D2D communications may reuse the licensed channels with cellular communications and potentially result in critical interferences to nearby devices. To control the interference and improve network throughput in overlaid D2D cellular networks, a novel channel assignment approach is proposed in this paper. First, we characterize the performance of devices by using Poisson point process model. Then, we convert the throughput maximization problem into an optimal spectrum allocation problem with signal to interference plus noise ratio constraints and solve it, i.e., assigning appropriate fractions of channels to cellular communications and D2D communications. In order to mitigate the interferences between D2D devices, a cluster-based multi-channel assignment algorithm is proposed. The algorithm first cluster D2D communications into clusters to reduce the problem scale. After that, a multi-channel assignment algorithm is proposed to mitigate critical interferences among nearby devices for each D2D cluster individually. The simulation analysis conforms that the proposed algorithm can greatly increase system throughput.

Wi-Fi-enabled portable devices have recently been introduced into the consumer electronics market. These devices download or upload content, from or to a host machine, such as a personal computer, a laptop, a home gateway, or a media server. This paper investigates the fairness among multiple Wi-Fi-enabled portable devices in a home network when they are simultaneously communicated with the host machine. First, we present that, a simple IEEE 802.11-based home network suffers from unfairness, and the fairness is exaggerated by the wireless link errors. This unfairness is due to the asymmetric response of the TCP to data-packet loss and to acknowledgment-packet loss, and the wireless link errors that occur in the proximity of any node; the errors affect other wireless devices through the interaction at the interface queue of the home gateway. We propose a QoS-provisioning framework in order to achieve per-device fairness and service differentiation. For this purpose, we introduce the medium access price, which denotes an aggregate value of network-wide traffic load, per-device link usage, and per-device link error rate. We implemented the proposed framework in the ns-2 simulator, and carried out a simulation study to evaluate its performance with respect to fairness, service differentiation, loss and delay. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method enforces the per-device fairness, regardless of the number of devices present and regardless of the level of wireless link errors; furthermore it achieves high link utilization with only a small amount of frame losses.

무선 PAN에서 채널시간할당(Channel time allocation) 알고리즘은 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스가 요구하는 엄격한 QoS (Quality of Service) 요구사항을 보장하는데 있어 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.3 고속율 무선 PAN에서 MPEG 스트림과 같은 멀티미디어 트래픽의 지연을 보장하기 위한 동적 채널시간할당 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 MPEG 스트림의 특성을 이용하고 DEV(Device)는 채널시간할당을 수퍼프레임(Superframe) 끝에서 PNC(Piconet coordinator)로 요청한다. 채널시간할당 요청 정보를 갖고 있는 동적 파라미터를 PNC로 전달하기 위해 미니 패킷이라는 피드 백(Feedback) 제어 패킷을 이용한다. 하나의 수퍼프레임 동안에 각 DEV에 할당될 채널시간은 MPEG 프레임 종류와 트래픽양, MPEG 프레임의 지연한도(Delay bound) 등에 따라 동적으로 변한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 방법의 성능을 다른 방법과 비교 분석한다. 비교 분석결과, 제안된 방법이 지연한도를 보장하면서 높은 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

모니터링 시스템은 데이터 모니터링을 위한 장치들의 증가와 다양한 서비스를 지원하기 위해 많은 파라메타를 요구한다. 특히 무선 모바일 환경에서 장치의 상태 모니터링은 제한된 스크린 사이즈에 다량의 정보를 디스플레이 해야 하는 어려움과 네트워크상에 장치 상태 데이터의 전송은 네트워크 트래픽과 많은 관련을 가진다. 본 논문은 온실 환경 시스템의 효과적인 관리를 위하여 데이터 수집을 위한 컨트롤 보드를 설계하고, 무선 모바일과 웹 기반의 다중 인터페이스를 구현하여 장치, 그리고 환경 데이터 모니터링, 각 장치의 제어를 적응적으로 수행하는데 있다. 그러므로 사용자의 상황에 따른 효율적인 모니터링 및 제어를 위해서 분산 클라이언트가 컴퓨터인 경우는 서버 또는 지역 제어 모듈에 LabVIEW 웹 서버를 통해서 웹브라우저로 모니터링 및 제어권을 획득하고, 클라이언트가 PDA인 경우는 디스플레이의 크기와 데이터 처리 능력을 고려한 무선 모바일의 어플리케이션을 연동하였다. 실험결과, 사용자의 환경에 따른 적응성과 이동성을 제공함으로써 인간 중심적인 설계 관점에서 만족할만한 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 냉동컨테이너를 이용한 물동량이 계속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세에서 운송 중 냉동컨테이너의 지속적인 관리가 요구되고 있다. 하지만 현재 냉동컨테이너 모니터링은 물류 전 구간이 아닌 터미널 및 해상 운송 중 선박 내에서만 가능하며, 트럭 또는 기차를 이용하는 육상운송 구간에서는 냉동컨테이너의 모니터링이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이는 국제해사 기구에서 권고하고 있는 PCT를 이용한 냉동컨테이너 모니터링 방법 또는 TCP/IP, RFID 통신 등을 이용한 기존 냉동컨테이너 모니터링 방법들이 별도의 통신인프라 구축이 필요하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하고 육상운송 구간에서 냉동컨테이너의 모니터링뿐만 아니라 제어까지 가능한 새로운 냉동컨테이너 제어 장비를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 장비는 모든 냉동컨테이너에 부착되어 있는 데이터 포트를 이용하여 냉동컨테이너의 정보를 수집 후 M2M 통신 기술을 이용하여 별도 통신 인프라 구축 없이 서버로 정보를 전송한다. 또한 서버에서 설정한 냉동컨테이너의 온도 설정 등 제어 정보를 수신하여 냉동컨테이너의 동작 상태를 제어 할 수 있다.

High-rate wireless personal area network (HR-WPAN) has been standardized by the IEEE 802.15.3 task group (TG). To support multimedia services, the IEEE 802.15.3 TG adopts a time-slotted medium access control (MAC) protocol controlled by a central device. In the time division multiple access (TDMA)-based wireless packet networks, the packet scheduling algorithm plays a key role in quality of service (QoS) provisioning for multimedia services. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cross-layer packet scheduling method for the TDMA-based HR-WPAN. Physical channel conditions, MAC protocol, link layer status, random traffic arrival, and QoS requirement are taken into consideration by the proposed packet scheduling method. Performance evaluations are carried out through extensive simulations and significant performance enhancements are observed. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed scheme remains stable regardless of the variable system parameters such as the number of devices (DEVs) and delay bound.

Recently, the applications of Internet of Things (IoTs) are growing rapidly. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) becomes an emerging technology to provide the low power wireless connectivity for IoTs. The IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN) has been proposed by IETF, which gives each WSN device an IPv6 address to connect with the Internet. The transmission congestion in IoTs could be a problem when a large numbers of sensors are deployed in the field. Therefore, it is important to consider whether the WSN devices have be completely integrated into the Internet with proper quality of service (QoS) requirements. The Software Defined Network (SDN) is a new architecture of network decoupling the data and control planes, and using the logical centralized control to manage the forwarding issues in large-scale networks. In this research, the SDN-based 6LoWPAN Border Router (6LBR) is proposed to integrate the transmission from WSNs to Internet. The proposed SDN-based 6LBR communicating between WSNs and the Internet will bring forward the requirements of end-to-end QoS with bandwidth guarantee. Based on our experimental results, we have observed that the selected 6LoWPAN traffic flows achieve lower packet loss rate in the Internet. Therefore, the 6LoWPAN traffic flows classified by SDN-based 6LBR can be reserved for the required bandwidth in the Internet to meet the QoS requirements.

Internet is exposed to network attacks as Internet has a security weakness. Network attacks which are virus, system intrusion, and deny of service, put Internet in the risk of hacking, so the damage of public organization and banking facilities are more increased. So, it is necessary that the security technologies about intrusion detection and controlling attacks minimize the damage of hacking. Router is the network device of managing traffic between Internets or Intranets. The damage of router attack causes the problem of the entire network. The security technology about router is necessary to defend Internet against network attacks. Router has the need of access control and security skills that prevent from illegal attacks. We developed integrated security management framework for secure networking and kernel-level security engine that filters the network packets, detects the network intrusion, and reports the network intrusion. The security engine on the router protects router or gateway from the network attacks and provides secure networking environments. It manages the network with security policy and handles the network attacks dynamically.
