최근 다양한 형태의 통신 네트워크들의 통합 현상이 가속화되고 있다. 그 중에서도 3G 네트워크와 WLAN은 서로 보완적인 특성을 지니고 있으므로 이를 활용한 3G 네트워크와 WLAN의 연동 방안에 대한 연구는 학계와 기업에서 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 강결합 시스템 환경을 기반으로 계층적 핸드오프시 필수적으로 발생하는 AAA 서버와의 인증 절차 동안 VHOM(Virtual Handoff Manager)을 통한 재인증 과정의 단축으로 핸드오프 지연시간을 줄이고, 핸드오프 결정 요소로서 이동 단말의 위치에 따른 네트워크 성능에 초점을 맞춰 계층적 핸드오프를 수행함으로서 이전의 연구들에서 보여준 결과보다 효율적이면서도 고속의 계층적 핸드오프를 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 이기종 무선망 환경에서 AP를 이용한 단절시간 계산을 통해 새로운 타겟 네트워크를 선정하는 기법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 단절시간이라는 새로운 개념을 이용하여 기존 기법들이 가지는 방법과는 다른 방향으로 접근을 시도하였다. NS-2 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안한 기법이 단절시간이 짧은 네트워크를 선택함으로써 처리량이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

A handover is a technology that enables data transmission and receipt seamlessly while a mobile station moves from the current base station to another base station. The handover is basically classified into two types; a horizontal handover which changes a radio link only without changing a network link, and a vertical handover which changes both in heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a vertical handover protocol in a dual base station which supports both of W-CDMA and WiBro networks based on SDR (Software Defined Radio), verify the rightness using a state transition diagram and a Petri-net, and evaluate the performance of the proposed protocol using NS-2 simulator.

TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) is one of the most important Internet protocols, which is widely used in wireless networks as well as wired networks. However, when TCP is deployed for wireless networks, it takes severe performance degradation because TCP was designed for wired network. To overcome this drawback, a number of TCP variants have been proposed in the literature. However, most previous schemes did not consider TCP enhancement over heterogeneous networks. In heterogeneous networks, an mobile node (MN) may move from one access network to another(i.e., vertical handover). In the case of vertical handover, an MN experiences a TCP performance degradation caused by the packet loss and the sudden change of link characteristics between two different access networks. In this work, we investigate the TCP performance degradation occurred in vortical handover across heterogeneous networks. First, we have conducted the measurement study over GPRS-WLAN testbed. In the measurement study. we observed the TCP performance degradation in the case of handover from WLAN to GPRS. In order to study more different TCP behaviors during vertical handover, we performed comprehensive simulations using a network simulator 2(ns-2). Based on measurement and simulation results, we investigated how to improve TCP performance in vertical handover and we concluded that the existing mechanisms cannot be perfect solutions and new mechanisms are strongly required.

Smartphones and tablets including phone, calendar are the necessities of modern man. They are one of the MN(Mobile Node), each with wireless network capabilities. Necessities of modern human MNs are almost included cellular module available in LTE/3G and Wi-Fi module for high-speed Internet. Until now, MN mobility management is handled, but using network-based mobility management in this paper. Then, carriers can manage and maintain the network for low-cost. In addition, it was considered that use a lot of modern people with Wi-Fi and LTE/3G, and using Cross-Layer-Based handoff.

The Mobile IPv6(MIPv6) has a well-known time gap of packet loss between link down and binding update. To minimize such packet loss, this paper proposes a MIPv6-based dual tunneling mechanism, which keeps exploiting the old tunnel while creating a new tunnel. Superiority of the proposed mechanism is evaluated by quantitative analysis on the lost packets and computer simulation, based on two overlay heterogeneous access networks, such as the UMTS and a WLAN.

본 연구에서는 차세대 인터넷 환경의 주요 특징 중 하나인 이기종 네트워크가 혼재되어 있는 상황하에서 핸드오프가 일어나는 경우 여러 TCP 버전들(Newreno, Sack, Westwood, Vegas)이 겪게 되는 성능 변화를 분석하였다. 큰 대역폭의 네트워크와 작은 대역폭의 네트워크를 구성하여 실험해 본 결과 하부 계층의 핸드오프 지연이 없는 이상적인 상황에서도 대부분의 TCP들이 성능 저하를 겪었다. TCP 버전들 중 Vegas가 대역폭이 커지는 경우와 작아지는 경우 모두에서 가장 좋은 성능을 보였다.

For supporting various mobile networks, this paper proposes a framework of distributed connection admission control, named SmartCAC. Especially, intelligent CAC operations are adopted in terms of interoperation between mobile nodes and mobile networks. This scheme does not need to correct information between networks. Basically vertical handover call can use guard channel that was reserved for handoff, because SmartCAC addresses the identification between vertical handover call and new call, delay and reliability as requirement of QoS for efficient connection control. The scheme also uses mobile terminal speed for network filtering. Especially an extended protocol is proposed to give different network states information to mobile nodes because there have been no ways for mobile nodes to compare the states of different networks. Sophisticated simulation study is performed in order to evaluate SmartCAC in terms of signaling cost. As a result, signaling cost of ours is up to 96% better than that of the existing scheme.

In this paper, we propose a resource effective call admission control(CAC) in integrated WLAN and cellular network. The proposed CAC mitigates the congestion of cellular network by handing over non-realtime traffic to WLAN. We analyze the proposed CAC in numerical and simulation method. The simulation results show that the proposed CAC achieves better performance than normal CAC. Especially, the proposed CAC can sustain desired QoS more robustly against high incoming non-realtime traffic load than againt realtime traffic load.
