MMS has been seen as the key application in its entry into the 3G mobile markets. Furthermore, the combination of WLAN and 3G wireless technologies will make MMS service more popular, bringing benefits to both service providers and their customers. To realize seamless MMS service over WLAN and CDMA2000 networks, we design and implement new platform architecture by reusing the existing standards and network elements at the same time. We employ loose coupling approach and Mobile IP approach to propose new platform architecture, interfacing MMSC with many existing components. Based on our platform architecture, we also present seamless MMS delivery implementations that can't be possible within the current MMS reference architecture. This paper will make a contribution for service providers to offer their customers with seamless MMS service over WLAN and CDMA2000 networks.

As communication technologies are developed and variety of services to mobile devices are provided, mobile users is rapidly increasing every year. However, mobile services running on wireless network environment are exposed to various security threats, such as illegal tampering, eavesdropping, and disguising identity. Accordingly, the secure mobile communications services to 3GPP were established that the standard for 3GPP-AKA specified authentication and key agreement. But in the standard, sequence number synchronization problem using false base station attack and privacy problem were discovered through related researches. In this paper, we propose an efficient authentication mechanism for enhanced privacy protection in the 3G network. We solve the sequence number synchronization existing 3GPP authentication scheme using timestamp and strengthen a privacy problem using secret token. In addition, the proposed scheme can improve the bandwidth consumption between serving network and home network and the problem of authentication data overhead for the serving network because it uses only one authentication vector.

In LTE environment, which is 4th generation mobile communication systems, there is concern about private information exposure by transmitting initial identifier in plain text. This paper suggest mutual authentication protocol, which uses one-time password utilizing challenge-response and AES-based Milenage key generation algorithm, as solution for safe initial identification communication, preventing unique identification information leaking. Milenage key generation algorithm has been used in LTE Security protocol for generating Cipher key, Integrity key, Message Authentication Code. Performance analysis evaluates the suitability of LTE Security protocol and LTE network by comparing LTE Security protocol with proposed protocol about algorithm operation count and Latency.Thus, this paper figures out initial identification communication's weak points of currently used LTE security protocol and complements in accordance with traditional protocol. So, it can be applied for traditional LTE communication on account of providing additional confidentiality to initial identifier.
