Abstract

Wireless Docking system can provide enhanced convenience to user experience of handheld device such as smart phone by using previously deployed peripheral devises such as monitor and keyboard. In this environment, user can easily use the handheld device with variable peripheral devices at any docking system place. This system would be composed of peripherals except host computing device contrarily to previous desktop and laptop environment. For this system, Wi-Fi Alliance has been developing standard technology based on Wi-Fi Direct(Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer Technical Specifications v1.2, 2010) technology. However, this system can make a problem which may lead to complex connectivity on handheld device due to non-compatible communication interface. To address given problem, we designed a new method of Bluetooth tunneling technology via previous Wi-Fi Direct communication, and evaluated it with experiment results.

무선 Docking 시스템은 기존에 설치된 모니터, 키보드 등의 별도 환경을 통하여 스마트폰 등의 이동형 컴퓨팅 장치 사용에 편의성을 제공하는 환경으로써, 사용자는 Docking 시스템이 구축된 어느 환경에서라도 자신의 이동형 컴퓨팅 장치를 다양한 주변 장치들을 활용하여 편리하게 사용할 수 있다. Docking 시스템은, 컴퓨팅 장치를 중심으로 구축된 기존 데스크탑 및 Laptop 환경과 달리, 컴퓨팅 장치를 제외한 주변 장치들로 구성되어 있다. Wi-Fi Alliance에서는 이러한 환경을 제공하기 위하여 Wi-Fi Docking 표준화를 최근 진행 중이며, 기존에 발표된 Wi-Fi Direct 표준 기술(Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer Technical Specifications v1.2, 2010)을 활용하고 있다. 하지만, Docking 시스템에서 Bluetooth 장치를 사용할 경우 인터페이스 상이로 인하여 복잡한 Connectivity가 발생될 수 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 Wi-Fi Direct 환경에서 Bluetooth 장치 연결을 Tunneling 할 수 있는 기술을 설계하고 실험을 통하여 분석하였다.
