Governments intend to use the public warning system to deliver timely and accurate information using accessible communication technologies for protecting the population and reducing damage to life and property. In particular, many countries implement system interworking with smartphones to notify of disasters or emergencies. In Korea, since 2020, due to the influence of the coronavirus disease, frequent emergency text messages led people to turn off related notifications, and complaints for receiving irrelevant messages from nearby warning areas have increased. Therefore, technical improvements for issuing more accurate disaster information to a specific region should be devised through a geography-based emergency disaster message transmission service. We analyze development trends of public warning systems and service cases of geography-based emergency text transmission services in various countries.

The development of wireless network technology allows high data rate seamless communication irrespective of the place and time in various emerging mobile service environment. Unlike wired networks, however, wireless networks utilize expensive limited bandwidth. MBS(Multicast Broadcast Service), which is supported by mobile WiMAX system based on IEEE802.16e, overcomes this problem using a shared downlink channel for efficiently supporting a number of users. However. the coverage and throughput of the system are significantly affected by the channel condition. In this paper we propose on MBS system employing Mobile Multi-Hop Relay(MMR) and adaptive modulation and coding(AMC) scheme. The result of NS-2 computer simulation shows that the throughput and transmission time are substantially improved by the proposed approach compared to the existing MBS system.

In this paper, we propose a protocol structure of a portable 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) broadcast relay device that utilizes a 5G mobile communication network as a transport channel, and construct a prototype to conduct a broadcast relay performance test through a 5G mobile communication network. The test shows that the encoding time of the 4K UHD encoder is from a minimum of 86.28ms to a maximum of 88.41ms, the relay delay time in the 5G mobile communication network is 13.645ms on average, the delay variation is 17.49ms, and the glass-to-glass delay time is 289.90 on average, the delay variation is 27.63ms. Using the developed prototype, a relay test between Seoul and Anseong is conducted, and the possibility of 4K UHD broadcasting through a 5G mobile communication network is confirmed.

In this paper, we propose a new reliable broadcast protocol referred to as timer-based reliable broadcast (TRB) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The proposed TRB scheme exploits (1) bitmap based explicit ACK to effectively reduce the unnecessary error control messages and (2) randomized timer for ACK transmission to substantially reduce the possibility of contentions. Although it has been argued that 100% reliability is not necessary in WSNs, there should be messages (such as mission-critical message, task assignment, software updates, etc.) that need to be reliably delivered to the entire sensor field. We propose to use the TRB algorithm for such cases. Performance evaluation shows that the TRB scheme achieves 100 % reliability significantly better than other schemes with expense of slightly increased energy consumption.

The development of applications for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) has very specific and clear goals such as providing intellectual safe transport systems. An emergency warning technic for public safety is one of the applications which requires an intelligent broadcast mechanism to transmit warning messages quickly and efficiently against the time restriction. The broadcast storm problem causing several packet collisions and extra delay has to be considered to design a broadcast protocol for VANETs, when multiple nodes attempt transmission simultaneously at the access control layer. In this paper, we propose an early intelligent alert broadcasting (EI-CAST) algorithm to resolve effectively the broadcast storm problem and meet time-critical requirement. The proposed algorithm uses not only the early alert technic on the basis of time to collision (TTC) but also the intelligent broadcasting technic on the basis of fuzzy logic, and the performance of the proposed algorithm was compared and evaluated through simulation with the existing broadcasting algorithms. It was demonstrated that the proposed algorithm shows a vehicle can receive the alert message before a collision and have no packet collision when the distance of alert region is less than 4 km.

In the wireless sensor networks, power consumption and interference among the nodes can be reduced by using the transmission power control. Because link quality is changed by spatial and temporal effect, link failures are frequently occurred. In order to adapt to link quality variation, existing transmission power control schemes broadcast beacon messages periodically to neighbor nodes and control the transmission power dynamically. However, it can effect on the time and energy overhead according to period of transmission power control. In this paper, the dynamic method of transmission power control by the link quality variation and variable period are proposed. When a link quality is unstable, the control duty cycle is reduced and the link quality is agilely maintained. In contrast, when link quality is stable, the control period is increased and control overhead is decreased.

In this paper, we present an efficient broadcast protocol, called Btoken, that ensures total ordering of messages and atomicity of delivery in the large scaled distributed systems. Unlike the existing token-passing based protocol, Btoken does not circulate a token around the ring, instead, it uses three kinds of control messages for token transmission. The token has a sequence number field for broadcasting message, and the only site having the token can broadcast a message. When a site wishes to broadcast, It must send a message to the token site requesting the token. The token site sends a message with the token to the requester When the requester receives the token, it becomes the current token site and broadcasts a new message after setting sequence number derived from a field of the token into its message. Upon reception of it, any operating member is informed the position of the token site and will send token requesting message to the new token site. However, the other site may request the token to the old token site prior to receiving the broadcast message from the new token site. To resolve this problem, Btoken uses a message which is sent to the current token site by the old token site notifying who is the next token requester. Results of our simulation of the protocol show that Btoken is more efficient in the large scaled distributed system compared to existing broadcast protocols.

Recently, ultra-wideband(UWB) technology based on the transmission of short duration pulses has gained much interest for its application to wireless communications. Various wireless communication and wireless broadcast will require more efficient use of frequency. Cognitive radio technology is an intelligent technology which can sense the spectrum environment and adaptively adjust the parameters for wireless transmission. In this paper, by using Cognitive UWB, the spectrum efficiency of the transmission channels is largely improved, and the interference between the other systems can be effectively avoided.

In this paper, a CSSMA/AI MAC protocol for data services in packet CDMA network is presented. The proposed protocol is based on the code status sensing and reservation scheme. In the proposed protocol, the base station broadcast the rode status on a frame-by-frame basis just before the beginning of each preamble transmission, and the mobile station transmits a preamble for reserving a randomly selected code based on the received code status. After having transmitted the preamble, the mobile station listens to the downlink of the selected rode and waits for the base station reply. If this reply indicates that the code has been correctly acquired, it continues the packet transmission lot the rest of the frame. If there are other packets waiting for transmission, the base station broadcasts the status of the code as reserved, and the mobile station transmits a packet through the reserved code for the successive frames.
