An explosive expansion of the use of smart devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs in mobile telecommunications service is bringing about a steep increase of mobile traffic volumes. Mobile network operators or telcos are introducing the $4^{th}$ generation LTE network, which handles traffics more efficiently, to respond such enormously increasing traffics. Meanwhile, it is wondered how LTE contributes to raising a competitive edge of telcos. This paper aims at empirically testing whether the first mover of LTE acquired its competitive advantages. In this paper, we analyzed a number of telcos of 10 major countries. As a result, it turned out that there is no first mover's advantages, that is, the first mover did not have any competitive advantages in market share, profitability, and so on.

The evolution of mobile communications is inducting several new issues belonging to the system engineering disciplines. this paper tires to underline some of the most important problems staring room the novel requirements and the application characteristics expected for Third Generation Mobile System. Based on these new service peculiarities. the radio resource control and the architectural solutions to be chosen for the Mobile core network are becoming key issues to be investigated for the forthcoming configurations. Particularly. the service acceptance control and the perspective of integration with the IP (internet Protocol) context are of great importance for the definition of the radio control functions and the specification of the switching and nobility control features respectively．The paper presents some basic considerations on the cellular planning issues arising in W-CDMA ( wideband -code division Multiple access) systems. by underlying the most significant innovative elements that are to be introduced in the planning process form the mobile operator viewpoint..

In this paper, we suggested new network architecture to provide seamless service between the cellular system and new wireless broadband network such as IEEE 802.16e, called WiBro. The interworking technologies are very important issue because mobile operator should provide service connectivity between various wireless networks based on different access technologies. Moreover a change and modification on legacy network should be minimized for providing interworking with new wireless broad-band network. We implemented proposed interworking architecture between 3G cellular network and 802.16e network to provide seamless service including interworking unit in real test environment. Also, we performed performance evaluation in hybrid network environments.

Today the mobile devices including smart phones have influenced on the users' daily activities in the mobile internet society, and the expansion of social media has also affected on the purchasing behavior of consumers. This study examines whether the quality of corporate twitter, a typical social network service for call centers influences on the customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty. In order to achieve the research goal, the quality of twitter has been divided into four variables; information quality, service quality, system quality, and social quality. The results of our empirical analysis show that the three variables except service quality have significantly influenced on the customer satisfaction and the customer satisfaction also significantly has a casual effect on the brand loyalty. The empirical results are expected as a guideline to contribute on the practical improvement of customer service, satisfaction, and brand loyalty through corporate social network services such as corporate twitters in the future.

The IEEE 802.16 standard is supposed to provide a wide-range broadband wireless service, but it leaves the implementation of the wireless resource scheduler as an open issue. We have studied the scheduling problem and propose a two level scheduling (TLS) scheme with support for quality of service and fairness guarantees for downlink traffic in a WiMAX network. A central controller Base Station has a number of users, and each mobile subscriber station has different channel conditions. The same mobile subscriber station may have different service requirements at different times in the WiMAX network. Based on OPNET simulation, the results show our scheduling algorithm can increase the network throughput, maintain relative fairness, and lower delay over the round robin and weighted round robin algorithms.

Next generation wireless network is evolving toward IP-based network that can various provide multimedia services. A challenge in wireless mobile Internet is support of quality of service over wireless access networks. DiffServ architecture is proposed for evolving wireless mobile Internet. In this paper we propose an algorithm for optimal buffer partitioning which requires the minimal channel capacity to satisfy the QoS requirements of input traffic. We used a partitioned buffer with size B to serve a layered traffic at each DiffServ router. We consider a traffic model with a single source generates traffic having J $(J\geq2)$ quality of service (QoS) classes. QoS in this case is described by loss probability $\varepsilon_j$. for QoS class j. Traffic is admitted or rejected based on the buffer occupancy and its service class. Traffic is generated by heterogeneous Markov-modulated fluid source (MMFS).

This paper describes the network configuration, No. 7 signaling IS-41.A protocol and basic operations for the RFC(Remote Feature Control) service which is one of the supplementary services provided in the mobile telephone network. In order to solve the protocol error occurred while providing the RFC service for analog system, this paper suggests three schemes and analyse detail signal algorithm for the proposed schemes. Through the simulations, it is verified the best choice of the proposed schemes without the signaling procedure error.

Social Network Service has been extremely popular these days and providing diverse features and functions to users. Social networking and interest sharing in between users are key factors of SNS and this circles back to draw more users to the service. Web is the first media to provide SNS and mobile is the next. The service based on mobile environmental uniqueness such as Location-based-service(LBS) is the key success factors to convert users to web SNS to mobile SNS. TV has also been a possible SSN market to draw users to share interests and participation. However TV has been always community electronics in family members and personalization to provide SNS has been barrier to overcome. In this study, we explorer ideas of key factors of personalization in TV environment and conducted a field study to define characteristics of TV personalization in terms of depth, method, style and structure. Research finds out that there are significant differences in these categories.

This research work is concerned with a location-based alert service in wireless communication network environment. The alert service automatically transfers alert message to subscriber in the disaster area. This research work deals with automatic alert services that automatically provide people in emergency area with the state of emergency. The alert service uses the mobile device to inform its urgency to the subscribers in its area. The location tracking service will give the list of people in emergency area. The all processes of this research work are followed as. First, when a disaster or a calamity comes in, an emergency management center receives the emergency to analyze its shape and size and to declare the place to 'the disaster area.' Secondly, then the center finds information of mobile device subscribers in the disaster area. Finally, the center automatically generates a shape of text or audio of alert message of the emergency to send the message to the subscribers in the disaster area. Our mobile automatic alert service proposed above is so efficient that the subscribers in disasters area may meet the emergency more efficiently and may save their own valuable lives and properties more safely.

Nowadays on-line services based on Internet are being popularized and there are lots of E-Commerce applications using Internet. So we can use lots of information on anytime. To maximize the convenience of the network, the platform of the service is moving from E-Commerce to M-Commerce. In this paper we developed the application system for mobile environment. Therefore applicants can apply their applications and see the competition rate of the applying departments anytime and anywhere even if in the network disconnection regions. And we can manage more economically the application system because we use the network only the time when we syncronize the mobile device to mobile server.
