UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) is commercial product for the first time in home network middlewares, but it has problem that it has no security standards in UPnP specification. In this paper, we present UPnP security model. It is based on XML Signature of XML Security. It provides UPnP with secure services which are device control message authentication and user access level control. It is independent of UPnP modules and has mobility of secure service modules for non secure ability user part. We conclude this paper with an example of applying UPnP Security model to the UPnP audio device control and an test example.

QoS(Quality of Service)측면에서 멀티미디어 응용 서비스를 제공하기 위해서 멀티미디어 통신은 여러 가지 요구사항을 지원하여야 한다. 연속적으로 생성된 미디어의 시간적인 관계를 유지하면서 재생시킬 수 있는 동기화 메커니즘은 무엇보다도 중요한 문제이다. 전달되는 매체를 공동으로 사용하기 때문에 트래픽의 폭주시, 지역적으로 멀리 떨어져 있는 경우에는 지연의 현상이 발생하게된다. 본 논문에서는 지연에 의해 발생되는 지연지터에 대하여 완충역할을 할 수 있는 최소 버퍼크기를 제시하였다. 주문형멀티미디어서버(MOS)의 경우 각 미디어 별로 서버에 저장하여 서비스하는 연구가 현재 활발히 진행되고 있으며 이것은 네트워크의 부하를 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 이러한 데이터의 경우 클라이언트에서 어느 정도의 지터를 예상하여 버퍼의 크기를 갖고 있어야 하는 문제는 아직도 큰 문제점으로 나타나고 있다. 본 논문은 버퍼의 크기 및 재생에 관한 동기화 시점을 조정함으로서 버퍼의 오버플로우나 언더플로우의 현상을 방지하고자 한다. 제안한 기법은 기존의 기법보다 향상된 동기화 기법임을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) algorithms play an important role in ensuring quality of service in an integrated HetNets (Heterogeneous Networks). The primary objective of this paper is to develop a multi-criteria vertical handoff decision algorithm (VHDA) for best access network selection in an integrated Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)/Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)/Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) system. The proposed design consists of two parts, the first part is the evaluation of an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to decide the relative weights of handoff decision criteria and the second part computes the final score of the weights to rank network alternatives using Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). SAW ranks the network alternatives in a faster and simpler manner than AHP. The AHP-SAW mathematical model has been designed, evaluated and simulated for streaming video type of traffic. For other traffic type, such as conversational, background and interactive, only simulation results have been discussed and presented in brief. Simulation results reveal that the hierarchical modelling and computing provides optimum solution for access network selection in an integrated environment as obtained results prove to be an acceptable solution to what could be expected in real life scenarios.

The one of the big issues in fixed markets is the investment of next generation networks. The nation-wide incumbent has provided the copper cable based access networks in so far. However in the future multiple providers participant in investing network in first stage of the network investment like mobile networks. Each NRA makes efforts on the resolving construction cost of civil engineering costs through the opening conduits. To smooth operation, information opening service is needed then NRAs must determined the level of opened information and cost of usage information and so on. This paper proposed the alternation of the issues to boost the investment of the next generation networks.

The emerging of cloud data sharing can create great values, especially in multi-cloud environments. However, "data island" between different cloud service providers (CSPs) has drawn trust problem in data sharing, causing contradictions with the increasing sharing need of cloud data users. And how to ensure the data value for both data owner and data user before sharing, is another challenge limiting massive data sharing in the multi-cloud environments. To solve the problems above, we propose a Uniform Encoding and Parsing Framework (UEPF) with blockchain to support trustworthy and valuable data sharing. We design namespace-based unique identifier pair to support data description corresponding with data in multi-cloud, and build a blockchain-based data encoding protocol to manage the metadata with identifier pair in the blockchain ledger. To share data in multi-cloud, we build a data parsing protocol with smart contract to query and get the sharing cloud data efficiently. We also build identifier updating protocol to satisfy the dynamicity of data, and data check protocol to ensure the validity of data. Theoretical analysis and experiment results show that UEPF is pretty efficient.

Biometric recognition refers to a technology that identifies or verifies an individual after registering each individual's physical, physiological, and behavioral characteristics with an automated device. However, the biometric data used here corresponds to personal information since it can identify an individual. Therefore, when it is compromised or misused, it negatively affects the privacy of the data subject. In this paper, we review the current status of domestic laws related to biometric information and the status of infringements related to this. And then, some biometric application models are derived and vulnerabilities and countermeasures for each model are discussed. Finally, for the developer and service provider of the biometric system, protection guidance is presented.

The quality of experience (QoE) of video streaming is degraded by playback interruptions, which can be mitigated by the playout buffers of end users. To analyze the impact of playout buffer dynamics on the QoE of wireless adaptive hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) progressive video, we model the playout buffer as a G/D/1 queue with an arbitrary packet arrival rate and deterministic service time. Because all video packets within a block must be available in the playout buffer before that block is decoded, playback interruption can occur even when the playout buffer is non-empty. We analyze the queue length evolution of the playout buffer using diffusion approximation. Closed-form expressions for user-perceived video quality are derived in terms of the buffering delay, playback duration, and interruption probability for an infinite buffer size, the packet loss probability and re-buffering probability for a finite buffer size. Simulation results verify our theoretical analysis and reveal that the impact of playout buffer dynamics on QoE is content dependent, which can contribute to the design of QoE-driven wireless adaptive HTTP progressive video management.

With the drastic growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry, global energy consumption is exponentially increased by mobile communications. The huge energy consumption and increased environmental awareness have triggered great interests on the research of dynamic distribution of cell user and traffic, and then designing the energy efficient cellular network. In this paper, we explore the temporal and spatial characteristics of human mobility and traffic distribution using real data set. The analysis results of cell traffic illustrate the tidal effect in temporal and spatial dimensions and obvious periodic characteristics which can be used to design Base Station (BS) dynamic with sleeping or shut-down strategy. At the same time, we designed a new Cell Zooming and BS cooperation mode. Through simulation experiments, we found that running in this mode can save about 35% of energy consumption and guarantee the required quality of service.

A self-organizing multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (multi-UAVs) deployment based on virtual forces has a difficulty in ensuring the quality-of-experience (QoE) of users because of the difference between the assumed center for users in a hotspot and an actual center for users in the hotspot. This discrepancy is aggravated in a non-uniform and mobile user distribution. To address this problem, we propose a new density based virtual force (D-VF) multi-UAVs deployment algorithm which employs a mean opinion score (MOS) as a metric of QoE. Because MOS is based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a sum of users' MOS is a good metric not only to secure a wide service area but to enhance the link quality between multi-UAVs and users. The proposed algorithm improves users' QoE by combining virtual forces with a random search force for the exploration of finding multi-UAVs' positions which maximize the sum of users' MOS. In simulation results, the proposed deployment algorithm shows the convergence of the multi-UAVs into the position of maximizing MOS. Therefore, the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional virtual force-based deployment scheme in terms of QoE for non-uniform user distribution scenarios.
