본 논문에서는 저전력 모바일 IP 스토리지를 위한 재구성 가능 선반입 버퍼 기반의 WLAN 전력제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 주어진 모바일 IP 스토리지에 있는 멀티미디어 컨텐츠의 품질에 따라 선반입 버퍼의 크기를 자동적으로 결정하고 멀티미디어 컨텐츠가 실행되는 동안 On-Off 동작을 기반으로 WLAN 전력을 동적으로 제어한다. 제안된 기법을 PXA270 기반 모바일 단말, 임베디드 리눅스 2.6.11, 인텔 iSCSI 참조 코드, 그리고 Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA WLAN 카드를 사용하여 구현하고 성능을 평가한 결과 모바일 단말의 소모전력이 1.5배 이상 개선됨을 확인하였다.

Storage Class Memory (SCM) has both characteristics of non-volatility and random byte addressability. The advent of SCM can bring about novel and innovative features that are not possible in con ventional computing systems. This paper suggests a new system design that turns on/off a system instantly. To do this, we replace the main memory with SCM to retain the volatile system states as the system is turned off. We implement our prototype in an embedded environment and measure its system on/off time.

Cloud storage services are used for efficient sharing or synchronizing of user's data across multiple mobile devices. Although cloud storages provide flexibility and scalability in storing data, security issues should be handled. Currently, typical cloud storage services offer data encryption for security purpose but we think such method is not secure enough because managing encryption keys by software and identifying users by simple ID and password are main defectives of current cloud storage services. We propose a secure data access method to cloud storage in mobile environment. Our framework supports hardware-based key management, attestation on the client software integrity, and secure key sharing across the multiple devices. We implemented our prototype using ARM TrustZone and TPM Emulator which is running on secure world of the TrustZone environment.

Edge Computing enables real-time big data processing by performing computing close to the physical location of the user or data source. However, in an edge computing environment, various situations that affect big data processing performance may occur depending on temporary service requirements or changes of physical resources in the field. In this paper, we proposed a BigCrawler system that dynamically configures the computing module and storage module according to the big data collection status and computing resource usage status in the edge computing environment. And the feature of big data processing workload according to the arrangement of computing module and storage module were analyzed.

스마트폰 등의 임베디드 시스템에서는 낸드 플래시 기반 저장장치를 주로 사용한다. 하지만 지금까지의 운영체제의 블록 IO 시스템은 하드 디스크를 대상으로 설계되었기 때문에 낸드 플래시 메모리 기반의 저장장치의 특성을 고려하지 못하였다. 또한, 낮은 성능의 하드디스크에서는 운영체제에서 IO를 처리하는 소프트웨어 계층의 부하가 무시될 수 있었으나, 고성능의 낸드 플래시 메모리에서는 문제가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 디바이스의 운영체제 중 하나인 안드로이드 플랫폼을 기반으로 IO 요청을 수행하는 소프트웨어 계층별 성능을 측정하였으며, 또한 멀티 프로세스상에서 IO 성능에 어떤 영향을 받는지 관찰했다. 실험 결과 IO 요청의 단위가 작은 경우는 운영체제에서의 부하가 저장장치에서 요청을 처리하는 지연 시간보다 압도적으로 크게 나타났으며, 16KB 단위의 IO 요청에 대해서 전체 지연 시간의 90%를 차지하였다. 또한, 멀티 프로세스 환경에서 IO를 처리하면서 인터럽트를 처리하는 시간이 증가하는 것을 확인했다.

IPv6 is the internet protocol for next generation which can solve the problem of IPv4 protocol. Mobile IPv6 efficiently provides the mobility for mobile devices holding the properties of IPv6. iSCSI(Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a block-oriented storage access protocol that enables a user to recognize a remote storage as their own local block device through general TCP/IP networks. Since iSCSI uses a standard Ethernet switch and router for this kind of access, it can not only be applized to Ethernet technologies, but can also be used to create a storage networking system without any distance restrictions that can equally be applied to a wireless network environment. Accordingly, this paper presents an alternative approach to overcome the limited storage space of mobile devices based on the IPv6 iSCSI initiator driver which was originally designed for wired networks. Also, this paper describes about the implementation and performance analysis of mobile education service system using virtual storage devices in IPv6 wireless networks.

Mobile IP storage has been proposed to overcome storage limitation in the flash memory and hard disks. It provides almost capacity-free space for mobile devices over wireless IP networks. However, battery lifetime of the mobile devices is reduced rapidly because of power consumption with continuous use of a WLAN device when multimedia contents are being streamed through the mobile IP storage. This paper proposes an energy-efficient WLAN device power control technique for streaming multimedia contents with the mobile IP storage. The proposed technique consists of a prefetch buffer input/output module, a WLAN device power control module, and a reconfigurable prefetch buffer module. Besides, it adaptively determines the size of the prefetch buffer according to a quality of the multimedia contents, and it dynamically controls the power mode of the WLAN device on the basis of power on-off operations while streaming the multimedia contents. We evaluate the performance of the proposed technique on a PXA270-based mobile device that employs the embedded linux 2.6.11, Intel iSCSI reference codes, and a WLAN device. Extensive experiments reveal that the proposed technique can save the energy consumption of the WLAN device up to 8.5 times with QVGA multimedia contents, as compared with no power control.

NAND flash memories have the advantages of fast access speed, high density and low power consumption, thus they have increasing demand in embedded system and mobile environment. Despite the low power and fast speed gains of NAND flash memory, DRAM disk buffers were used because of the performance load and limited durability of NAND flash cell. However, DRAM disk buffers are not suitable for limited energy environments due to their high static energy consumption. In this paper, we propose WAP-LRU (Write pattern Analysis based Placement by LRU) hybrid disk buffer management policy. Our policy designates the buffer location in the hybrid memory by analyzing write pattern of the workloads to check the continuity of the page operations. In our simulation, WAP-LRU increased the lifetime of NAND flash memory by reducing the number of garbage collections by 63.1% on average. In addition, energy consumption is reduced by an average of 53.4% compared to DRAM disk buffers.
