Recently, the types and amount of data generated, collected, and measured in IoT such as smart home, security, and factory are increasing. The technologies for IoT service include sensor devices to measure desired data, embedded software to control the devices such as signal processing, wireless network protocol to transmit and receive the measured data, and big data and AI-based analysis. In this paper, we focused on developing a gateway for interfacing heterogeneous sensor network protocols that are used in various IoT devices and propose a heterogeneous network interface IoT gateway. We utilized a OpenWrt-based wireless routers and used 6LoWAN stack for IP-based communication via BLE and IEEE 802.15.4 adapters. We developed a software to convert Z-Wave and LoRa packets into IP packet using our Python-based middleware. We expect the IoT gateway to be used as an effective device for collecting IoT big data.

This paper is concerned with the relationships between optimal number of wavelengths and tuning time in time division multiplexing(TDM) scheduling on wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) optical passive star networks. We assume that the traffic is nonuniform and each node has a tunable transmitter and a fixed receiver. Each node transmits spckets to all other nodes. Most of the earlier protocols on TDM based scheduling for WDM star networks [7, 8, etc.] use whold given wavelength chnnels. But in this paper, we investigate the optimal number of wavelengths that yidels minimum frame length when tuning time exists. It appears within the availble number of wavelengths that yields minimum frame length when tuning time exists. It appears within the available number of wavelengths. We analyze the relationships between optimal number of wavelengths and tuning time by experiments. We analyze the reationships between optimal number of wavelengths and tuning time by experiments. We also discuss on the possibility of reduction of frame length by increasing the number of nodes trans-mitters and receivers.

An ATM/AAL2 is standardized to transmit delay sensitive application services, which has small size packet, efficiently. An AAL2 transmission scheme is used to deliver voice and data traffic on the lob interface between base station (Node-B) and Radio Network Controller (RNC) in UMTS network. To predict AAL2 performance, a detailed end-to-end UMTS network performance simulator was developed. We performed detailed simulation(cell packing density and bandwidth gain) for voice and data services in UTRAN. The results indicate that the maximum bandwidth gain in Node-B is about 17% and the bandwidth gain of AAL2 multiplexing in $I_{ub}$ for data services is less than that for voice service. Futhermore, the more offered load increase the more the bandwidth gain decreases in a concentrator.

Ubiquitous sensor network (USN) is composed of many sensor nodes which are one of the simplest form of embedded system. In developing the sensor network system, a debugging tool is necessary to test and verify the system. Recently, a so-called packet analyzer has been developed for this purpose, and it supports IEEE 802.15.4 which is considered as the standard for the sensor network protocols. The major function of the packet analyzer is to take RF packets from sensor nodes and show the structure and the data of the packets graphically to the user. However, the conventional packet analyzers do not support remote control because they require a USB interface along with a personal computer. To make it available for remote control, we propose a new packet analyzer based on a server-client scheme in which a server program is implemented on embedded Linux and a client program is implemented on Windows for convenient use.

We analyze the execution time of Reed-Solomon coding, which is the MAC-layer forward error correction scheme used in CDMA2000 1xEV-DO broadcast services, under different air channel conditions. The results show that the time constraints of MPEG-4 cannot be guaranteed by Reed-Solomon decoding when the packet loss rate (PLR) is high, due to its long computation time on current hardware. To alleviate this problem, we propose three error control schemes. Our static scheme bypasses Reed-Solomon decoding at the mobile node to satisfy the MPEG-4 time constraint when the PLR exceeds a given boundary. Second, dynamic scheme corrects errors in a best-effort manner within the time constraint, instead of giving up altogether when the PLR is high; this achieves a further quality improvement. The third, video-aware dynamic scheme fixes errors in a similar way to the dynamic scheme, but in a priority-driven manner which makes the video appear smoother. Extensive simulation results show the effectiveness of our schemes compared to the original FEC scheme.

In this paper, we propose the contribution-level-based opportunistic flooding in a wireless multihop network which achieves outstanding transmission efficiency and reliability. While the potential of the the predetermined relay node to fail in its receipt of broadcast packets is due to the inherent instability in wireless networks, our proposed flooding actually increases network reliability by applying the concept of opportunistic routing, whereby relay-node selection is dependent on the transmission result. Additionally, depending on the contribution level for the entire network, the proposed technique enhances transmission efficiency through priority adjustment and the removal of needless relay nodes. We use the NS-3 simulator to compare the proposed scheme with dominant pruning. The analysis results show the improved performance in both cases: by 35% compared with blind flooding from the perspective of the transmission efficiency, and by 20~70% compared to dominant pruning from the perspective of the reliability.

직렬 접속 프로토콜은 두개 이상의 근거리 시스템간의 정보 교환에 사용된다. 현재까지 공식적인 기관에서 표준화되어 제정된 직렬 접속 규격들이 가지고 있는 성능은 전송 속도 측면에서 수 kbps에서 최대 10Mbps급에 한정되어 있는 관계로 수백 Mbps 혹은 수 Gbps급에 달하는 직렬 접속 프로토콜 성능을 요구하는 고성능 통신 및 정보 처리 시스템을 위한 새로운 직렬 접속 규격이 요구되고 있다. IEEE에서 표준화 작업중인 Multi-CPU 병렬 시스템을 위한 접속 규격인 P1355 접속 규격은 경제적이며 용이한 확장성을 가지는 칩과 칩간외에 보드와 보드간 혹은 랙과 랙간의 연결이 가능한 표준 규격안이다. P1355 접속 프로토콜은 특성이 서로 다른 DS, TS, HS link 규격들로 구성되어 있으며 이들은 선로 동작 속도 측면에서 각각 200Mbps, 250Mbps, 1Gbps의 성능을 가지고 있으며, 사용되는 데이터 심볼의 코딩 방식, 접속로 동작 초기화 및 오류 제어, 접속로의 물리적 성능 및 규격 등에서 차이를 가지고 있다. P1355는 일반적인 통신용 전송 선로에서 요구되는 물리 계층의 BER 성능보다 $10^5$에서 $10^10$배 향상된 선로 BER 특성과 이러한 하위 계층 특성을 바탕으로한 패킷 손실이 없는 간결한 상위계층 프로토콜을 특징으로 하며, 차세대 통신 수단인 ATM교환기 시스템의 서브 시스템 접속 규격으로 사용될 수 있다.

In order to handle client's requests while multiple servers seamlessly work in the web server cluster environment, it is vital to implement a router that execute a routing using TCP information and requested target content. The implemented package software measured packet volume that was generated from data generator, virtual server, and server 1, 2, 3, and could find out traffic distribution toward Server 1, 2, 3. As the result of the study shows, Round Robin Algorithm ensured definite traffic distribution, unless incoming data loads differ much. Although error levels were high in some partial cases, they were eventually alleviated by repeated tests for a longer time.

The multimedia synchronization is one of the key issues to be resolved in order to provide a good quality of multimedia related services, such as Video on Demands(VoD), Lecture on Demands(LoD), and tele-conferences. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive multimedia synchronization algorithm using the level of buffers and load of servers, which are modeled and analyzed by ExSpect, a Petri net based simulation tool. In the proposed algorithm, the audio and video buffers are divided to 5 different levels, and the pre-defined play-out speed controller tries to make the buffer level to be normal in different temporal relations between multimedia streams using buffer levels and server loads. Because each multimedia packet is played by the pre-defined play-out speed, the media data can be reproduced within the permissible limit of errors while preserving the level of buffers to be normal. The proposed algorithm is able to handle and support various communication restrictions between providers and users, and offers little jitter play-out to many users in networks with the limited transmission capability. The performance of the developed algorithm is analyzed in various network conditions using a Petri net simulation tool.
