A home network is a collection and connection of many electronic and electrical devices in home in order to make daily life comfortable, entertaining and safe. The convergence of Ethernet and wireless technology to a single shared broadband connection in residential gateway is the key feature of the home network. This kind of heterogeneous network has realized the need to implement different QoS mechanisms. Basically, in this paper we propose to integrate IP QoS and Wireless QoS mechanisms for QoS assurance in home network. This paper compares the combination of PCF with two queuing algorithms Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) and Custom Queuing (CQ) and concludes that the combination of CQ and PCF performs best for home network.

Streaming video is expected to become a key service in the developing heterogeneous wireless network. However, sufficient quality of service is not offered to video applications because of bursty packet losses. An effective solution for packet loss in wireless network is to perform a proper concealment at the receiver. However, most concealment methods can not conceal effectively the consecutively damaged macro blocks, since the neighboring blocks are lost. In the previous work, bidirectional motion vector tracking (BMVT) method has been proposed which uses the moving trajectory feature of the damaged macro blocks. In this paper, a channel-adaptive redundancy coding method for the better BMVT error concealment is presented. The proposed method provides enhanced video quality at the cost of a little bit overhead in the wireless error-prone network.

DMX512 protocol is a typical protocol which controls LED lighting system. It has a strong feature and can be used to a lot of lighting system. But LED control system with cable has a few problem because they have a lot of control cables. It is very difficult to set up the complex lighting. Furthermore if it is set up it is not easy to keep and recover the system from the out of order. So it is required Wireless Lighting Control System. This paper describes the proposal, design, and implementation of a novel method which can provide versatile light effects with the increased capability of the mobility and the number of universes for Wireless Lighting system. And then we implement experiment environment to control indoor lighting system controled by ZigBee and WLAN converter not having complicating control line. Data frames are transferred to DMX512 device by encapsulation and decapsulation to control color LED. In the same time give the method to solve the data bottleneck problem which can be comes out because of speed difference between Heterogeneous network and measure performance of control system.

Most previous work on network selection in heterogeneous wireless networks has concentrated on the quality of the network alone. Therefore, users are not satisfied with network quality based network selection due to different user preferences. To solve this problem, we proposes a QoE-aware network selection algorithm that is based on the consumption patterns of user preferences which is divided into normal user, cost-sensitive user, quality-sensitive user and video quality as well as network quality. As a result of experiments, cost-sensitive user and quality-sensitive user are satisfied with enhanced QoE by 36% and 3% from the proposed network selection algorithm compared to the normal user, respectively.

Increasing popularity of WLAN and advancement of WPAN allow user to connect to the Internet easily today. The increasing of number of networking mobile device such as laptop and PDA requires computing devices to share high speed Internet line or work on networks in most cases. This has stimulated the demand of access point that supports multiple network interfaces. This paper describes the process of design, implementation and test of the wired/wireless integrated access point that supports multiple network interfaces such as wired LAN, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and Broadband network. We designed and developed the hardware system and protocol software to integrate heterogeneous network. The system has shown compatibility with standard specification and good performance through testing with various network devices.

In this paper, we consider the Femtocell based enterprise wireless network using 2G/3G/4G cellular network technologies. And, we apply the open network service API which enable an easy development of ISP or enterprise services to P2P enterprise services. Based on the proposed scheme, enterprise services can be always connected at anywhere and anytime via heterogeneous devices. By using a qualitative analysis, we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme and compare with that of the famous P2P service - Skype. Results show that the proposed scheme requests smaller servers and flows with enhanced service quality.

Recently, smart devices has been spreaded and the definition of RFID/USN(Radio Frequency Identification/Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology has also extended. So, originally, human is an agent of communications but now, 'the things' are also an agent of communication. That is, Internet of Things(IoT). IoT is very big IT infra technology that is based on wire-wireless network technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. However, in reality, IoT service that can provide various meaning and integrate smoothly is not appear yet. To solve these problems of IoT, we implemented Publish/Subscribe system, which operate in Zigbee based wireless sensor network by using MQTT-SN protocol. Moreover, this system can operate with combining MQTT system that is already existed in external Internet network so, extensibility and flexibility aspect is excellent. We show that possibility of IoT services that is combined between different heterogeneous network through the MQTT-SN.

When a hand-held device with limited battery transmits and receives data using short-range wireless communication systems, such as WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) or high speed WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network), instead of mobile communication systems, the device is able to reduce the power consumption due to the reduced transmission distance. However, if there are many WLAN or high speed WPAN systems around the device, non-negligible power may be consumed by receiving and decoding the packets which have nothing to do with the device. In this paper, we propose a scheme reducing the power consumption by including physical-layer ID in WLAN or WPAN packets and avoiding unnecessary packet receptions. Also, we describe a method to determine the optimum number of physical-layer IDs.

Wireless access technologies are emerging to enable high data rates for mobile users and novel applications that encompass both human and machine-type interactions. An essential approach to meet the rising demands on network capacity and offer high coverage for wireless users on upcoming fifth generation (5G) networks is heterogeneous networks (HetNets), which are generated by combining the installation of macro cells with a large number of densely distributed small cells Deployment in 5G architecture has several issues because to the rising complexity of network topology in 5G HetNets with many distinct base station types. Aside from the numerous benefits that dense small cell deployment delivers, it also introduces key mobility management issues such as frequent handover (HO), failures, delays and pingpong HO. This article investigates 5G HetNet mobility management in terms of radio resource control. This article also discusses the key challenges for 5G mobility management.

The clustered heterogeneous wireless sensor network is comprised of sensor nodes and cluster heads, which are hierarchically organized for different objectives. In the network, we should especially take care of managing node resources to enhance network performance based on memory and battery capacity constraints. For instances, if some interesting events occur frequently in the vicinity of particular sensor nodes, those nodes might receive massive amounts of data. Data congestion can happen due to a memory bottleneck or link disconnection at cluster heads because the remaining memory space is filled with those data. In this paper, we utilize drones as mobile sinks to resolve data congestion and model the network, sensor nodes, and cluster heads. We also design a cost function and a congestion indicator to calculate the degree of congestion. Then we propose a data congestion map index and a data congestion mapping scheme to deploy drones at optimal points. Using control variable, we explore the relationship between the degree of congestion and the number of drones to be deployed, as well as the number of drones that must be below a certain degree of congestion and within communication range. Furthermore, we show that our algorithm outperforms previous work by a minimum of 20% in terms of memory overflow.
