Abstract

Ship Standard Network was submitted as a common subject of e-navigation by 81th IMO MSC 2005. This agenda was given an official status with strategy planning of e-navigation for Ship Standard Network after approval of WG program of 81th MSC 2006. Nowadays approximately 400 heterogeneous navigation and communication equipments are working on ships at sea. Standardization of ship network is to support exchanging various data efficiently. Among them, 4S network is defined as a wireless communication network between ship to ship and ship to shore which provides unceasing communication channel ship to shore. It has been expected to trigger various services and applications based on 4S network. However, no technologies and products has been appeared at fields yet. but now there's not specific technologies and developing products. In this paper, We developed a 4S multiple media switching server and a ship-land information exchange system to overcome the heterogeneity and provide efficient communication environments.. The performance of the implemented system was verified by TTA(Telecommunications Technology Association) V&V(Verification and Validation).

선박표준 네트워크는 2005년 IMO MSC 제 81차 회의에서 e-navigation을 공동 의제로 제출되었다. 2006년 MSC 81의 WG 프로그램으로 승인된 후 2008년까지 e-navigation 구현전략을 수립하기로 결정됨으로써 선박 네트워크의 표준화 작업은 본격화되었다. 이는 선박의 안전 항해 뿐 아니라 400여종의 이기종 항해통신장비 및 기관 장비를 탑재하는 선박에서의 효율적인 정보 교환을 지원하기 위한 것이기도 하다. 그 가운데 4S 네트워크는 육상과 선박, 선박과 선박사이의 무선통신을 말하며 선박과 육상 간 통신채널을 항상 연결하도록 해주는 기본이 된다. 4S 네트워크는 이를 기반으로 다양한 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 많은 활용 분야가 존재하기 때문에 향후 e-navigation이 적용되면 다양한 시장 창출이 가능할 것으로 보이나 현재 이에 대한 구체적인 기반 기술 연구나 시제품 개발은 전무한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 육해상간 효율적이고 저렴한 통신환경을 제공하도록 하는 4S 다중매체 스위칭 서버와 육해상 정보교환 시스템을 개발하고, 구현한 시스템의 성능을 TTA(Telecommunications Technology Association) V&V(Verification and Validation) 인증을 통해 확인하였다.
