WDMB technology has merits of high bandwidth and high mobility. But WDMB also has uni-directional communication problem. This paper provides solution to supplements uni-directional communication problem of WDMB with embodying return channel using WWAN to offer high quality multimedia service to user. Also this paper proposes intelligent network interface selection algorithm using various network information and return channel type. As a result of simulation, our proposed scheme is better as compared with other handoff scheme in energy efficiency of $7{\sim}8%$ and about two time of handoff number of time decrease.

차세대의 무선 네트워크 기술은 기존의 망을 통합하고 IP화 하는 방향으로 발전중이며, WWAN과 WLAN의 통합망에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구는 최근 상용화 서비스가 이루어지고 있는 WDMB 기술을 WWAN, WLAN과 강결합(Tight Coupling) 방식으로 통합한 네트워크 환경을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 수직적 핸드오프(Vertical Handoff) 기법은 WLAN 인터페이스를 필요한 상황에만 구동하여 에너지 소모율을 낮춘다. 또한 WDMB 인터페이스를 상시 구동하여 데이터 트래픽이 발생할 때에 곧바로 WDMB 인터페이스를 통해 데이터 전송을 시작하여 전송률을 높인다. 또한 성능 평가를 통하여 단말에 장착된 모든 인터페이스를 구동하는 방식과 비교하여 에너지 소모율이 경감되었으며, 단말에 장착된 한 가지 인터페이스만을 구동하는 방식과의 비교를 통해 데이터 전송률이 크게 향상되었음을 보인다.

There are a few representative wireless network access technologies used widely. WWAN is celluar based telecommunication networks supporting high mobility, WLAN ensures high data rate within hotspot coverage, and WDMB support both data and broadcasting services correspondingly. However, these technologies include some limitations especially on the mobility, data rate, transmission direction, and so on. In order to overvome these limitations, there are various studies have been proposed in terms of 'Vortical Handoff' that offers seamless connectivity by switching active connection to the appropriate interface which installed in the mobile devices. In this paper, we propose the interface selection algorithm and network architecture to maximize the life time of entire system by minimizing the unnecessary energy consumption of another interfaces such as WLAN, WDMB that are taken in the user equipment. In addition, by using the results of analyzing multiple types of traffic and managing user buffer as a metric for vertical handoff, we show that the energy efficiency of our scheme is $75\%$ and $34\%$ than typical WLAN for WDMB and WLAN preferred schemes, correspondingly.
