커넥티드카는 네트워크에 연결된 자동차가 다른 자동차 및 도로 인프라뿐만 아니라 스마트 디바이스와 통신하고 여러 소스로부터 실시간 데이터를 수집하여 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 것이다. 커넥티드카의 등장으로 인해서 자동차와 클라우드 서비스의 결합이 빠르게 진행되고 있으나 자동차 데이터 중 실시간 처리가 필수인 데이터가 많다는 특성이 있다. 그러므로 멀리 떨어진 중앙 집중식 서버에서 컴퓨팅을 하는 클라우드 컴퓨팅보다 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 디바이스와 가까운 가장자리에 위치한 서버에서 컴퓨팅을 하는 엣지 컴퓨팅이 커넥티드카의 실시간성을 보장하는 기술로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 엣지 컴퓨팅과는 달리, 이동성이 있는 모바일 엣지 컴퓨팅(MEC) 환경에서 실시간 처리를 저해하는 요소를 찾아 원인을 분석하고 평가해 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 먼저, MEC 환경을 구축한 후 오픈 소스 시뮬레이터인 Edge Cloudsim 에 적용시켜 시뮬레이션을 한다. 실험 결과 MEC 환경에서 실시간 처리를 저해하는 원인은 모바일 디바이스의 태스크가 오프로딩 되거나 응답을 받기 전 WLAN 의 범위를 벗어났을 때 Task Failure가 발생하기 때문임이 증명되었다.

As task offloading from user devices transitions from the cloud to the edge, the demand for efficient resource management techniques has emerged. While numerous studies have employed reinforcement learning to address this challenge, many fail to adequately consider the overhead associated with real-world offloading tasks. This paper proposes a reinforcement learning-based distributed offloading policy generation method that incorporates task overhead. A simulation environment is constructed to validate the proposed approach. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method reduces edge queueing time, achieving up to 46.3% performance improvement over existing approaches.

With the flood of digital data owing to the Internet of Things and big data, cloud service providers that process and store vast amount of data from multiple users can apply duplicate data elimination technique for efficient data management. The user experience can be improved as the notion of edge computing paradigm is introduced as an extension of the cloud computing to improve problems such as network congestion to a central cloud server and reduced computational efficiency. However, the addition of a new edge device that is not entirely reliable in the edge computing may cause increase in the computational complexity for additional cryptographic operations to preserve data privacy in duplicate identification and elimination process. In this paper, we propose an efficiency-improved duplicate data elimination protocol while preserving data privacy with an optimized user-edge-cloud communication framework by utilizing a trusted execution environment. Direct sharing of secret information between the user and the central cloud server can minimize the computational complexity in edge devices and enables the use of efficient encryption algorithms at the side of cloud service providers. Users also improve the user experience by offloading data to edge devices, enabling duplicate elimination and independent activity. Through experiments, efficiency of the proposed scheme has been analyzed such as up to 78x improvements in computation during data outsourcing process compared to the previous study which does not exploit trusted execution environment in edge computing architecture.

Recently, as the types of services that can be enjoyed in mobile telecommunication networks such as social networks and video streaming are increasing, mobile users(MUs) can access mobile contents easily by consuming mobile data. However, under a mobile telecommunication environment, MUs have to pay a high data fee to a network service provider(SP) in order to enjoy contents. The 'data sponsor' technique, introduced as a way to solve this problem, has attracted attention as a breakthrough method for enhancing contents accessibility of MUs. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that determines the optimal discount rate through the Stackelberg game in the data sponsor environment. We also propose an algorithm to design edge caching, which caches highly popular content for MUs on edge server, through many-to-many matching game. Simulation results clearly indicate that the profit for CP's content consumption is improved by about 6~11%, and the profit of CP according to the ratio of edge caching is improved by about 12% than the other existing schemes under data sponsor environment.

As the use of mobile data increases, the proportion of video content is increasing steeply. In order to solve problems that arise when mobile users receive data from geographically remote cloud servers, methods of caching data in advance to edge servers geographically close to the users are attracting lots of attention. In this paper, we present a caching policy that stores data on Small Cell Base Station(SBS) to effectively provide content files to mobile users by applying a delayed offloading scheme in a cellular network. The goal of the proposed policy is to minimize the size of data transmitted from Macro Base Station(MBS) because the delayed offloading scheme requires more cost than when downloaded from MBS than from SBS. The caching policy is proposed to determine the size of content file and which content file to be cached to SBS using the probability of mobile users' paths and the popularity of content files, and to replace content files in consideration of the overlapping coverage of SBS. In addition, through performance evaluation, it has been proven that the proposed policy reduces the size of data downloaded from MBS compared to other algorithms.

1980년대 아날로그 이동전화서비스로 시작된 이동통신 기술은 매 10년을 주기로 빠르게 발전해 오고 있다. 디지털화를 거쳐 모바일 광대역 서비스에 초점을 맞춘 이전 세대와는 달리, 5G 이동통신서비스는 다양한 미래 정보통신 융합서비스의 플랫폼으로서, 산업구조 혁신을 통해 새로운 스마트 비즈니스 모델 및 산업 생태계를 창출하는 4차 산업혁명의 핵심 인프라로 주목받고 있다. 이러한 변화의 흐름속에서 이동통신서비스는 우리 실생활과 더욱 밀접해지고 있으나, 다른 한편으로 이동통신 환경의 취약점을 악용한 사이버 공격 위험에 노출될 가능성도 점차 확대되고 있다. 이런 배경에는 국제전기통신연합(ITU)의 IMT-2020 비전 및 요구사항을 충족시키기 위한 5G 네트워크의 구조적인 변화에 따라 공격접점이 크게 확대 되었기 때문이다. 본 고에서는 5G 시대의 도래와 함께 가장 큰 구조적 변화를 겪으며 5G 융합서비스의 핵심 인프라로서 새롭게 주목받고 있는 5G 엣지의 주요 특징을 살펴보고, 5G 엣지에서 제기되고 있는 보안위협과 이에 대한 대응 기술의 동향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

In a dynamically changing time-varying network environment, the optimal moving pattern of edge devices can be applied to distributing computing resources to edge cloud servers or deploying new edge servers in the FEC(Fog/Edge Computing) environment. In addition, this can be used to build an environment capable of efficient computation offloading to alleviate latency problems, which are disadvantages of cloud computing. This paper proposes an algorithm to extract the optimal moving pattern by analyzing the moving path of multiple edge devices requiring application services in an arbitrary spatio-temporal environment based on frequency. A comparative experiment with A^* and Dijkstra algorithms shows that the proposed algorithm uses a relatively fast execution time and less memory, and extracts a more accurate optimal path. Furthermore, it was deduced from the comparison result with the A^* algorithm that applying weights (preference, congestion, etc.) simultaneously with frequency can increase path extraction accuracy.

Real-time control systems are growing rapidly as infrastructure technologies such as IoT and mobile communication develop and services that value real-time such as factory management and vehicle operation checks increase. Various solutions have been proposed to increase the time sensitivity of this system, but most real-time control systems are currently composed of local servers and multiple clients located in control stations, which are transmitted to local servers where control systems are located. In this paper, we proposed an edge computing-based real-time control model that can reduce the time it takes for the bus information system, one of the real-time control systems, to provide the information to the user at the time it collects the information. Simulating the existing model and the edge computing model, the edge computing model confirmed that the cost for users to receive data is reduced from at least 10% to up to 80% compared to the existing model.

360 Virtual Reality(VR) service is getting attention in the domestic streaming market as 5G era is upcoming. However, existing IPTV-based 360 VR video services use upto 4K 360 VR video which is not enough to satisfy customers. It is generally required that over 8K resolution is necessary to meet users' satisfaction level. The bit rate of 8K resolution video exceeds the bandwidth of single QAM channel(38.817mbps), which means that it is impossible to provide 8K resolution video via the IPTV broadcast network environment. Therefore, we suggest and implement the edge streaming system for low-latency streaming to the display devices in the local network. We conducted experiments and confirmed that 360 VR streaming with a viewport switching delay less than 500ms can be achieved while using less than 100mbps of the network bandwidth.
