  • At the end of 2002, about 91% of mobile telecommunications service subscribers have mobile phones with the mobile internet access function. However, despite the rapid spread of mobile internet phones, the number of real mobile internet users is very small. In this situation, this paper focuses on the effect of consumer demographics such as sex, age, job, etc. and consumer life-style on the use of mobile internet. This study tries to find the answers about the following questions ; 1) Which consumer demographic variables affect the use of mobile internet\ulcorner 2) How can we categorize the consumers with the mobile internet phones\ulcorner 3) What are the characteristics of categorized groups and is there any difference in using the mobile internet\ulcorner For this purpose, an off-line survey was conducted over 1,500 consumers with the mobile internet phones. This study concludes as follows ; The important demographic factors of the use of mobile internet are age, job, marriage, academic career and personal spending money. Totally viewed in the consumer demographics, the typical type of mobile internet users can be described as the young student. On the other hand, sex and family income variables do not significantly affect the use of mobile internet. And the mobile internet users can be categorized by the life-style into four distinct groups, which are named as the innovation oriented group, the practicality oriented group, the conservation oriented group, the ostentation oriented group. These findings show that the consumer life-style have various effects on the use of mobile internet.

  • An ionospheric error simulation is needed for creating precise Global Positioning System (GPS) signal using GPS simulator. In this paper we developed Klobuchar coefficients n ${\alpha}_n$ and ${\beta}_n$ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) generation algorithms for simulator and verified accuracy of the algorithm. The algorithm extract those Klobuchar coefficients from broadcast (BRDC) messages provided by International GNSS Service during three years from 2006 through 2008 and curve-fit them with sinusoidal and linear functions or constant. The generated coefficients from our developed algorithms are referred to as MODL coefficients, while those coefficients from BRDC messages are named as BRDC coefficients. The maximum correlation coefficient between MODL and BRDC coefficients was found for ${\alpha}_2$ and the value was 0.94. On the other hand, the minimum correlation was 0.64 for the case of ${\alpha}_1$. We estimated vertical total electron content using the Klobuchar model with MODL coefficients, and compared the result with those from the BRDC model and global ionosphere maps. As a result, the maximum RMS was 3.92 and 7.90 TECU, respectively.

  • When unapproved users access to healthcare system and use medical information for other malicious purposes, it could severely threaten important information related to patients' life, because in ubiquitous environment healthcare service makes patient's various examination results, medical records or most information of a patient into data. Therefore, to solve these problems, we design RBAC(Role Based Access Control) for U-healthcare that can access control with location, time and context-awareness information like status information of user and protect patient's privacy. With implementation of the proposed model, we verify effectiveness of the access control model for healthcare in ubiquitous environment.

  • Purpose: This research focused on the fact that the Internet platform is integral to IoT products such as Smart home and studied consumer buying decisions when products are sold bundled with internet service. Contrary to the sales strategies of telecommunication companies, some companies sell IoT products alone, for example Google, Kakao, and Naver. In this market situation, the sales strategies of Korean telecommunication companies were analyzed with bundling theory and technology acceptance model, then it was conducted to figure out which sales and distribution strategies could affect consumers' purchase behavior. Research design, data, methodology: Data was collected by149 questionnaires from groups who are familiar with IoT smart home systems, then exploratory factor analysis and regression were used to analyze the research model. Results: The results revealed that the perceived ease of use and the perceived usefulness affect the purchase intention of IoT-based products; however, this effect was not found in the case of bundled products. In other words, it is found that selling and distributing Internet services and IoT products together does not affect consumers' purchases. Conclusion: It is suggested that Korean telecommunications companies' existing sales and distribution strategies for IoT products need to be changed according to its characteristics.

  • 기존의 웹 서비스용 프록시는 숫자와 문자형, 이미지와 같은 크기가 비교적 작은 데이터 전송에는 성공 적인 방법이지만, 스트리밍 데이터의 특성으로 인하여 스트리밍 데이터 전송에는 적합하지 않다. 그래서 대안으로 CDN 같은 방법도 사용되고 있지만 새로운 인프라를 구성해야 하므로 엄청난 비용이 든다. 따라서 기존의 프록시 자원을 활용한 스트리밍 프록시 방법에 대한 많은 연구가 진행 중이다. 이러한 방법들은 스트리밍 데이터 전체를 캐싱하는 데는 많은 문제점들이 있기 때문에 컨텐츠를 보다 작은 단위로 나누어 캐싱하는 방법들이 제안되었다. 컨텐츠를 나누는 방법으로는 각 연구별 다른 기준으로 나누어지는데 본 논문에서는 이미 코딩이 되어 있는 신호를 다른 신호로 바꾸는 트랜스코딩에 프록시를 더해서 균등한 크기로 세그먼트를 나누는 방법의 단점인 데이터의 교체수가 너무 많은 점을 개선하기 위한 혼합 세그먼트 기반의 트랜스코딩 프록시를 제안하였다.

  • This paper analyzes the characteristics of packet losses in mobile computing environments based on the Gilbert model and then describes a mechanism that can recover the lost audio packets using redundant data. Using information periodically reported by a receiver, the sender dynamically adjusts the amount and offset values of redundant data with the constraint of minimizing the bandwidth consumption of wireless links. Since mobile computing environments can be often characterized by frequent and consecutive packet losses, loss recovery mechanism need to deal efficiently with both random and consecutive packet losses. To achieve this, the suggested mechanism uses relatively large, discontinuous exponential offset values. That gives the same effect as using both the sequential and interleaving redundant information. To verify the effectiveness of the mechanism, we extended and implemented RTP/RTCP and applications. The experimental results show that our mechanism, with an exponential offset, achieves a remarkably low complete packet loss rate and adapts dynamically to the fluctuation of the packet loss pattern in mobile computing environments.

  • In this paper, we propose a new dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) algorithm for multimedia services over Ethernet PONs (passive optical networks). The proposed algorithm is composed of a low-level scheduler in the optical network unit (ONU) and a high-level scheduler in the optical line terminal (OLT). The hierarchical DBA algorithm can provide expansibility and efficient resource allocation in an Ethernet PON system in which the packet scheduler is separated from the queues. In the proposed DBA algorithm, the OLT allocates bandwidth to the ONUs in proportion to the weight associated with their class and queue length, while the ONU preferentially allocates its bandwidth to queues with a static priority order. The proposed algorithm provides an efficient resource utilization by reducing the unused remaining bandwidth caused by the variable length of the packets. We also define the service classes and present control message formats conforming to the multi-point control protocol (MPCP) over an Ethernet PON. In order to evaluate the performance, we designed an Ethernet PON system on the basis of IEEE 802.3ah "Ethernet in the first mile" (EFM) using OPNET and carried out simulations. The results are analyzed in terms of the channel utilization, queuing delay, and ratio of the unused remaining bandwidth.

  • An approach for game bot detection in massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) based on the analysis of game playing behavior is proposed. Since MMORPGs are large-scale games, users can play in various ways. This variety in playing behavior makes it hard to detect game bots based on play behaviors. To cope with this problem, the proposed approach observes game playing behaviors of users and groups them by their behavioral similarities. Then, it develops a local bot detection model for each player group. Since the locally optimized models can more accurately detect game bots within each player group, the combination of those models brings about overall improvement. Behavioral features are selected and developed to accurately detect game bots with the low resolution data, considering common aspects of MMORPG playing. Through the experiment with the real data from a game currently in service, it is shown that the proposed local model approach yields more accurate results.
