During the last several years, the demand of mobile communication is increasing rapidly due to the convenience of usage. Therefore, the evoluation scenario toward the new cellular network is needed. In this paper, the future prospect of cellular network is considered, and movable-boundary TDMA/BTMA protocol is proposed as a new voice/data integrated multiple access protocol for the future cellular packet radio networks. Then, the performance of movable-bounary TDMA/BTMA protocol is analyzed and compared with that of PRMA protocol by computer simulation. In the proposed movable-boundary TDMA/BTMA protocol, the voice traffic sensitive to delay time is served by TDMA protocol and the data traffic sensitive to loss is served by BTMA protocol. Also, the boundary of voice and data can be moved adaptively by usign SYN character, control byte, voice call counter, ect. Therefore. it could be seen that the performance of movable-boundary TDMA/BTMA protocol is better than that of PRMA protocol with respect to delay and throughput.

Globally, the emergence of smart phones vitalized the ecosystem of mobile data service industry. Consequentially, mobile data traffic has been explosively growing and the speed of growth will be more steep. New spectrum will be required in order to properly accommodate the explosively growing mobile data traffic. However, it will be difficult to acquire a sufficient guard band between different frequency bands because the range of frequency which is suitable for wireless communications is limited. Thus, the performance degradation caused by inter-band interference will be one of challenging problems in the next generation mobile communication systems. In this paper, we analyze the performance degradation caused by inter-band interference by computer simulations in various environments. Our results show that the impact of the inter-band interference is more critical when own signal is poor or its own interference from neighboring cells is low.

In the mobile communication systems such as PCS(Personal Communication Service), several strategies have been proposed to optimize the signalling traffic load by using the characteristics of traffic and mobile patterns for effective mobility management. According to IS-41 standard, LA(Location Area) consists of static and arbitrarily-defined set of cells, which do not take into account mobility patterns of mobile stations. In this paper, we propose an improved location management mechanism which contains the neighbor cells of the LA selectively using the mobility history of a mobile station and accommodates the LA size adaptively according to the speed of the mobile station. Also, we use the paging priorities for cells in LA to improve the paging efficiency. We compare the performance of conventional mechanism with that of the proposed mechanism using numerical analysis. The analysis results show that the proposed location management mechanism is better than conventional mechanism significantly.

The need for MAN(Metropolitan Area Network)has been increased by demands for high performance comuter communication. According to the definition of MAN by IEEE 802.6 MANs have diameter of about 50km, bandwidth of more than 1Mbps, and limited delay, Because optical fibers have unique characteristics that make them attractive for the implementation of MANs several fiber optic networks suitable for MAN application have been proposed. Those networks have drawbacks such as unlimited delay, many processing nodes and limited number of stations. Also IEEE 802.6 proposals and oters improved networks were proposed, but they have complicated access procedures and data buffering and difficulties in implementation. This paper descrives the design of Fiber Optic Metropolitan Area Network in Seoul(Seoul FOMAN) to overcome the drawback, Seoul FOMAN is hierarchical MAN and designed based on the topology of 43 end offices in Seoul. We propose MAN topology, proper access protocol and analyze the performance.

As Internet traffic surges due to global CPs, a request to share network investment costs has emerged in the industry. This has significantly changed the issue of the principle of network neutrality from accessibility to network fee. Some of the academic researchers had a negative view to network fees in the Internet space. However, in the industry, a number of disputes have occurred and some have escalated into court battles, and attention has been focused on the court's decision. The courts began to accept fee-for-service under network neutrality, and the government responded quickly by revising regulations. However, it still focuses on service stability, and there is no regulation that directly stipulates payment of network fee. In the study, changes in network neutrality were verified by analyzing cases of disputes between operators, court judgments, and improvement of regulations. And referring to the tragedy of the commons, the restoration of the correct price signal based on the principle of beneficiary pays was suggested as the most important solution. The payment of network fee by CP is one of the solutions.

Currently, Most of the Backhual and Submarine's networks are being installed using DWDM and EDFA to deal with dramatically increasing internet traffic. In a conventional type optical system, the so-called 3R repeater, fiber non- linearity was not significant factor but it is one of the most important consideration when designing new DWDM network based on the EDFAs. To minimize the signal pulse distortion in long-haul optical network, Zero-dispersion fiber is indispensable but causes the fiber non-linearity. Therefore this conflicting problems should be managed to transmit a high-speed capacity traffic. In this paper, key technologies in DWDM submarine optic network were found out for a high capacity traffic and introduced the dispersion management way for solving the conflicting problems between Zero-dispersion and non-linearity. Lastly designed a dispersion map in section between Korea and Hong-kong.

In this paper, we suggest an architecture of DS/CDMA tranceiver composed of one pilot channel used as reference and multiple traffic channels. The pilot channel-an unmodulated PN code-is used as the reference signal for synchronization of PN code and data demondulation. The coherent demodulation architecture is also exploited for the reverse link as well as for the forward link. Here are the characteristics of the suggested DS/CDMA system. First, we suggest an interlaced quadrature spreading(IQS) method. In this method, the PN coe for I-phase 1st channel is used for Q-phase 2nd channels and the PN code for Q-phase 1st channel is used for I-phase 2nd channel, and so on-which is quite different from the eisting spreading schemes of DS/CDMA systems, such as IS-95 digital CDMA cellular or W-CDMA for PCS. By doing IQS spreading, we can drastically reduce the zero crossing rate of the RF signals. Second, we introduce an adaptive threshold setting for the synchronization of PN code, an initial acquistion method that uses a single PN code generator and reduces the acquistion time by a half compared the existing ones, and exploit the state machines to reduce the reacquistion time Third, various kinds of functions, such as automatic frequency control(AFC), automatic level control(ALC), bit-error-rate(BER) estimator, and spectral shaping for reducing the adjacent channel interference, are introduced to improve the system performance. Fourth, we designed and implemented the DS/CDMA MODEM to be used for variable transmission rate applications-from 16Kbps to 1.024Mbps. We developed and confirmed the DS/CDMA MODEM architecture through mathematical analysis and various kind of simulations. The ASIC design was done using VHDL coding and synthesis. To cope with several different kinds of applications, we developed transmitter and receiver ASICs separately. While a single transmitter or receiver ASC contains three channels (one for the pilot and the others for the traffic channels), by combining several transmitter ASICs, we can expand the number of channels up to 64. The ASICs are now under use for implementing a line-of-sight (LOS) radio equipment.

IEEE 802.15.6 standard technology is proposed for low-power wireless communication in, on and around body, where vital signs such as pulse, blood pressure, ECG, and EEG signals are transmitted as a type of data packet. Especially, these vital signs should be delivered in real time, so that the latency from slave node to hub node can be one of the pivotal performance requirements. However, in the case of IEEE 802.15.6 technology data retransmission caused by transmission failure can be done in the next superframe. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose an adaptive polling algorithm for IEEE 802.15.6 technology. The proposing algorithm makes the hub to look for an appropriate time period in order to make data retransmission within the superframe. Through the performance evaluation, the proposing algorithm achieves a 61% and a 73% latency reduction compared to those of IEEE 802.15.6 technology in the environment of 70% traffic offered load with 10ms and 100ms superframe period. In addition, the proposing algorithm prevents bursty traffic transmission condition caused by mixing retransmission traffic with the traffic reserved for transmission. Through the proposing adaptive polling algorithm, it will be possible to transmit time-sensitive vital signs without severe traffic delay.

As with appearing new applications that requires QoS guarantee such as VoIP, VPN in Internet, problems of IP QoS has been one of most important issues in next-generation Internet. IETF has proposed integrated services model(Int-Serv) and differentiated service(Diff-Serv) to supply IP QoS in Internet. Int-Serv model uses the state information of each IP flow, so satisfies QoS according to traffic characteristics, but increases the amount of flow state information with increasing flow number. Diff-Serv model uses PHP(Per Hop Behavior), and there are well-defined classes to provide differentiated traffics with different services according to delay and loss sensitivity. Diff-Serv model can provide diverse services in Internet because of having no the state and signal information of each flow. As MPLS uses the packet forwarding technique based-on label, it implements the traffic engineering in the networks easily. The MPLS can set up the path with different traffic parameters, and assign each path to particular Class of Services. Therefore it is possible to support the Diff-Serv model with well-defined classes. In this paper we investigate the performance improvement of Diff-Serv function in the MPLS network to guarantee class of services in Internet.

High speed switches have been developing to interconnect a large number of nodes. It is important to analyze the switch performance under various conditions to satisfy the requirements. Queueing analysis, in general, has the intrinsic problem of large state space dimension and complex computation. In fact, The petri net is a graphical and mathematical model. It is suitable for various applications, in particular, manufacturing systems. It can deal with parallelism, concurrence, deadlock avoidance, and asynchronism. Currently it has been applied to the performance of computer networks and protocol verifications. This paper presents a framework for modeling and analyzing ATM switch using stochastic activity networks (SANs). In this paper, we provide the ATM switch model using SANs to extend easily and an approximate analysis method to apply A TM switch models, which significantly reduce the complexity of the model solution. Cell arrival process in output-buffered Queueing A TM switch with finite buffer is modeled as Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP), which is able to accurately represent real traffic and capture the characteristics of bursty traffic. We analyze the performance of the switch in terms of cell-loss ratio (CLR), mean Queue length and mean delay time. We show that the SAN model is very useful in A TM switch model in that the gates have the capability of implementing of scheduling algorithm.
