Internet phone (VoIP) services in Korea have achieved noticeable growth year after year since the service launching, and the growth still coninues. The market of mobile internet phone also expands sharply. Therefore, it is crucial to deploy networks which can support mobile internet phone services with excellent quality. For mobile internet phone services, it will be necessary to build and use networks with good mobility and high transmission rate. Current wireless networks for Internet services include 3G, Wi-Fi, and mobile WiMAX networks. 3G provides good mobility but lower transmission rate, whereas Wi-Fi exhibits excellent transmission rate but less mobility. Mobile WiMAX networks taking the merits of both, high mobility and transmission rate, are being deployed widely in recent years. This article examines the recent standardization efforts of WiMAX Forum for VoIP service in WiMAX networks.

Due to the advancement of mobile wireless networks, various LBS's (Location Based Service) with the knowledge of mobile station's current position are emerging. Providing LBS is very essential feature in Mobile WiMAX networks such as WiBro networks for their competitiveness. To this end, WiMAX Forum has established recently the network architecture and protocols for providing LBS and they are included in the Network working group's release 1.5 documents. Though there have been many research efforts on location determination in Wibro networks, none of them addresses the location determination mechanism complying to Forum's recent LBS standards. This paper proposes an enhanced TDOA-RTD combined location determination mechanism, which complies to the Forum's LBS architecture.

삼성전자가 주최하는'삼성 4G포럼'이 지난 8월 27일과 28일 이틀 간 서울 신라호텔에서 개최됐다. 삼성 4G포럼은 2005년 모바일 와이맥스(와이브로) 기술을 세계 최초로 선보였고, 지난해에는 세계 유수의 경쟁업체들을 크게 앞서는 4G 기술을 선보임으로써 차세대 통신기술의 발전상을 꿰뚫어볼 수 있는 행사로 자리를 잡고 있다. 올해 행사에서는 삼성전자가 주도하는 모바일 와이맥스뿐만 아니라, 3GPP LTE(Long Term Evolution), 3GPP2 UMB(Ultra Mobile Broadband) 등 ITU가 4G의 유력 후보 기술로 꼽은 3대 통신기술이 한자리에서 소개되고 기술개발 및 표준화 동향을 공유하는 자리가 마련돼 더욱 눈길을 끌었다. 4세대 이동통신, 즉'4G'란 이동 중 100Mbps, 정지 상태에서는 1Gbps급 속도를 제공하는 무선 통신기술로, 지난 2005년 10월 ITU(국제전기통신연합)이'IMT-어드밴스트(advanced)'를 공식 명칭으로 결정한 바 있다. 하지만 현재의 3G와는 완전히 다른 새로운 세대의 통신 기술이라는 점을 강조하기 위해 여전히 4G라는 용어가 널리 쓰이고 있다.

2006년 상반기 KT와 SK텔레콤이 와이브로 서비스를 개시한다. 이동중에도 초고속 인터넷에 접속, 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 이용할 수 있는 와이브로의 등장은 향후 통신시장 패턴을 바꿀 것으로 기대받고 있다. 특히 모바일 와이맥스 표준 확정으로 사실상 휴대인터넷 분야에서 비교대상이 없는 와이브로는 해외애서 더욱 각광을 받을 전망이다.

WiBro network technologies developed mainly by Korea are one of very promising 4G technologies. WiBro has been standardized as international standard called Mobile WiMAX, and has been deployed in many countries. Emergency Services in WiBro networks are infrastructure services and will be very essential to induce subscribers from other types of networks. This paper proposes a network architecture for supporting emergency services for WiBro mobile VoIP networks. The proposed architecture is based on WMF's architecture for international compatibilities, and reflects national considerations on interfacing PSAP for domestic compatibilities.

현재 상용화 중인 4세대 이동통신의 사용자가 급증하고 있다. 현재 4세대 이동통신 국내 가입자는 천만 명이 넘어섰으며, 4세대 이동통신에 어느 기술이 사용이 되고 데이터 전송속도가 얼마나 빠른지 알고 사용하는 사람은 많지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 4세대 이동통신에 사용되고 있는 3GPP계열의 LTE-Advanced와 와이맥스 계열의 IEEE802.16m의 데이터 전송속도 기반의 이론적인 속도값과 현재 상용화된 4세대 이동통신의 데이터 전송속도의 실제 측정값을 비교, 분석하여 상호간의 특징적 차이를 분석하는 연구를 수행하였다.

Mobile WiMAX is an emerging technology that can provide ubiquitous Internet access. To provide seamless service in mobile WiMAX environment, delay or disruption in dealing with mobility must be minimized. However offering seamless services on IEEE 802.16e networks is very hard due to long handover latency both in layer 2 and 3. In this paper, we propose a fast cross-layer handover scheme based on prediction algorithm. With the help of the prediction, layer-3 handover activities are able to occur prior to layer-2 handover, and therefore, total handover latency can be reduced. The experiments conducted with system parameters and propagation model defined by WiMAX Forum demonstrate that the proposed method predicts the future signal level accurately and reduces the total handover latency.

Streaming video service over wireless and mobile communication networks has received significant interests from both academia and industry recently. Specifically, mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) is capable of providing high data rate and flexible Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, supporting mobile streaming very attractive. However, we need to note that streaming videos can be partially deteriorated in their macroblocks and/or slices owing to errors on OFDMA subcarriers, as we consider that compressed video sequence is generally sensitive to the error-prone channel status of the wireless and mobile network. In this paper, we introduce an OFDMA subcarrier-adaptive mobile streaming server based on cross-layer design. This streaming server system is substantially efficient to reduce the deterioration of streaming video transferred on the subcarriers of low power strength without any modifications of the existing schedulers, packet ordering/reassembly, and subcarrier allocation strategies in the base station.
