This paper considers mobility control to improve packet delivery in delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) under group mobility. Based on the group structure in group mobility, we propose two mobility control techniques; group formation enforcement and group purposeful movement. Both techniques can be used to increase the contact opportunities between groups by extending the group's reachability. In addition, they can be easily integrated into some existing DTN routing schemes under group mobility to effectively expedite the packet delivery. This paper is divided into 2 parts. First, we study how our proposed mobility control schemes reduce the packet delivery delay in DTNs by integrating them into one simple routing scheme called group-epidemic routing (G-ER). For each scheme, we analytically derive the cumulative density function of the packet delivery delay to show how it can effectively reduce the packet delivery delay. Then, based on our second proposed technique, the group purposeful movement, we design a new DTN routing scheme, called purposeful movement assisted routing (PMAR), to further reduce the packet delay. Extensive simulations in NS2 have been conducted to show the significant improvement of PMAR over G-ER under different practical network conditions.

In mobile ad hoc networks, an application scenario requires mostly collaborative mobility behavior. The key problem of those applications is scalability with regard to the number of multicast members as well as the number of the multicast group. To enhance scalability with group mobility, we have proposed a multicast protocol based on a new framework for hierarchical multicasting that is suitable for the group mobility model in MANET. The key design goal of this protocol is to solve the problem of reflecting the node's mobility in the overlay multicast tree, the efficient data delivery within the sub-group with group mobility support, and the scalability problem for the large multicast group size. The results obtained through simulations show that our approach supports scalability and efficient data transmission utilizing the characteristic of group mobility.

Tooth mobility may be the decisive factor that determines whether dental treatment of any kind is undertaken. Although tooth mobility in isolation says little in itself, the finding of increased tooth mobility is of both diagnostic and prognostic importance. Only the detection of an increase or decrease in mobility makes an evaluation possible. Thus prior to treatment, we must understand the pathologic process causing the observed the tooth mobility and decide whether the pattern and degree of observed tooth mobility is reversible or irreversible. And then it must be decided whether retention and treatment or extraction and replacement. The purpose of this study was to compare tooth mobility at different time period during root planing and flap operation and to relate changes in mobility to each treatment method. Twenty-one patients (287 teeth) with chronic adult periodontitis were treated with root planing(control group) and flap operation(experimental group), and each group was divided 3 subgroups based upon initial probing pocket depth (1-3mm, 4-6mm, 7mm and more). Tooth mobility was measured with $Periotest^{(R)}$ at the day of operation, 4 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after each treatment. Tooth mobility, attachment loss, radiographic bone loss, and bleeding on probing were measured at the day of operation, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment. 1. In group initial probing depth was 1-3mm, tooth mobility had no significant difference after root planing and flap operation. 2 . In group initial probing depth was 4-6mm, 7mm and more, tooth mobility had decreased in 12 weeks after root planing(p<0.01). And the mobility had increased after flap operation(p<0.01) and was at peak in 1 week, and decreased at initial level in 4 weeks, below the initial level in 12 weeks(p<0.01). 3. In 1 week, significant difference in tooth mobility between control and experimental group was found(p<0.01) but, in 12 weeks no difference between two groups was found. 4. Change of immediate tooth mobility after treatment was more larger in deep pocket than in shallow one. In group with the same probing pocket depth, the change of tooth mobility in molar group was greater than that of premolar group. 5. Tooth mobility before treatment was more strongly correlated with radiographic bone loss (r=0.5325) than probing depth, attachment loss and bleeding on probing, in 12 weeks after treatment, was more strongly correlated with attachment loss($r^2$=0.4761) than probing depth and bleeding on probing. Evaluation of the treatment effect and the prognosis after root planing and flap operation were meaningful on tooth initial probing depth 4mm and more. After flap operation, evaluation of the prognosis should be performed at least in 4 weeks and in 12 weeks after treatment, no difference in tooth mobility between two groups was observed. Radiographic bone loss and attachment loss were good clinical indicators to evaluate tooth mobility.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the thoracic mobility exercise program on pain, proprioception, and static balance ability in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. Design: Randomized controlled trial design. Methods: Thirty patients with non-specific chronic low back pain participated in this study. The participants were randomized into the thoracic mobility exercise group (n=15) and the lumbar stabilization exercise group (n=15). Both groups received traditional physical therapy for 30 minutes per session. In addition, the thoracic mobility exercise group and the lumbar stabilization exercise group each exercise 3 times a week for 6 weeks. All participants were measured visual analog scale, proprioception test, and static balance ability before and after the intervention. Results: After 6 weeks of interventions, the thoracic mobility exercise group showed greater improvement in visual analog scale, proprioception test, and static balance ability than the LSE group (p<0.05). Further, the thoracic mobility exercise group had significant Enhancements in all measured variables compared to the baselinetest (p<0.05). However, the lumbar stabilization exercise group had significant improvement only visual analog scale, and static balance ability compared to the baselinetest (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our investigation demonstrates that the thoracic mobility exercise is an effective intervention method for improving pain, proprioception, and static balance ability in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.

This paper proposes a new group mobility model for wireless communication. The mobility model considers the psychological and sociological behavior of each node and the perception of other nodes for describing interactions among a set of nodes. The model assumes no permanent membership of a group, capable of capturing natural behaviors as fork and join. It emulates a cooperative movement pattern observed in mobile ad hoc networks of military operation and campus, in which a set of mobile stations accomplish a cooperative motion affected by the individual behavior as well as a group behavior. The model also employs a physic model to avoid a sudden stopping and a sharping turning.

최근 이동통신의 새로운 미래 사업으로 주목받고 있는 M2M 통신의 특성 중 하나는 기존의 통신에 비해 단말의 수가 상대적으로 많다는 점이다. 따라서 다수의 단말로부터 발생하는 제어 신호가 네트워크에 혼잡을 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 3GPP 표준화단체에서는 이를 해결하고자 여러 단말을 하나의 그룹으로 관리하여 불필요한 시그널링 오버헤드를 줄이는 방법에 대해 표준화를 진행 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동성이 같은 다수의 M2M 단말들을 하나의 그룹으로 관리하는 그룹 기반 이동성 관리 방법에 대해 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 이동성이 같은 다수의 M2M 단말을 Mobility Management Entity (MME)가 동적으로 그룹핑하고, 그룹을 대표할 그룹 헤더를 선출하여 그룹 헤더가 그룹을 대표하여 Tracking Area Update (TAU)를 수행하게 함으로써 M2M 단말이 개별적으로 TAU를 수행할 때 발생하는 시그널링 오버헤드를 줄이는 것이다. 제안하는 방법이 기존의 개별적으로 TAU를 수행했을 때보다 최대 80% 정도의 시그널링 오버헤드 감소효과를 보인다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on pain and function of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy when applying trigger point of infraspinatus and teres minor to myofascial trigger point release (MFR) plus mobility exercise and MFR. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: The total participants were 30patients and were separated to MFR plus mobility exercise group(n=15) and MFR group (n=15) according to the randomized treatment method. The MFR was performed at two infraspinatus tampon points and one teres minor tampon point for twice a week for 4 weeks and the treatment time was 6 minutes 20 seconds in each position. The MFR group also carried out the myofascial trigger point release in the same way as the MFR plus mobility exercise group. Results: The MFR plus mobility exercise group significantly reduced objective and subjective pain (p<0.05). The range of motion of the shoulder joint flexion and external rotation, Quick-Disability of the Arm, shoulder and Hand, and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index were significantly improved in the group to which MFR plus mobility exercise was applied (p<0.05). Conclusions: These results confirmed that MRF plus mobility exercise is more effective in relieving shoulder pain and improving function in rotator cuff tendinopathy.

다수의 노드들이 유사한 이동 특성을 보이는 그룹 이동성을 고려하였을 때, 동일 그룹에 속한 노드간의 상대 속도는 작기 때문에 그룹 내 라우팅 업데이트 주기를 길게 설정하여 라우팅 오버헤드를 최소화하는 것이 가능하지만, 수집된 정보의 정확성이 저하되기 때문에 상대 속도가 큰 그룹 간의 패킷 전송 성공률이 감소된다. 그룹 간의 라우팅 오버헤드를 패킷 전송 성공률의 저하 없이 감소시키기 위해 이동 적응적인 라우팅 업데이트 구조가 본 논문에서 제안된다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 각 그룹 단위로 이동성을 예측을 하고 이를 통해 라우팅 업데이트 주기를 유동적으로 조절하여 라우팅 오버헤드를 감소시킨다. 또한 적절한 인접 그룹을 중계(relay) 그룹으로 설정하여, 추후 이동성에 의해 두 그룹간의 직접적인 연결이 단절되더라도 중계 그룹을 통해 통신이 원활이 유지될 수 있도록 지원함으로써 오버헤드가 감소하고 패킷 전송 성공률이 높아지게 된다.
