When new services are introduced, interaction among existing and new services has to be considered. The interaction can be characterized by the substitution or complementary effect among services. This paper analyzes how the interaction among services affects the customers' subscription decision in telecommunication services industry. Based on a face-to-face in-depth survey from a sample of 1,200 respondents, a new wireless internet access service or WiBro is analyzed to identify the substitution/complementary effect in relation to the existing other telecommunication services. Additionally, the important factors explaining both customers' subscription and substitution decisions are identified. The analysis results indicate that males and students are more likely to subscribe WIBro service. Interestingly, family size positively affects the subscription decision. However, heavy users of on-line game are reluctant to subscribe WiBro service. Among the potential WiBro subscribers, the customers who are less satisfied with the existing fixed line broadband internet access service are more likely to stop subscribing the fixed line service, which implies substitution by a new service. We believe that the consideration of the interactions among services is essential to devise a winning strategy for the new services in the highly uncertain telecommunications business environment.

The number of subscribers and the level of service usage are moderately low though WiBro service, as a new mobile Internet service, has been provided to mobile Internet users since June 2006. Considering this situation, the study was to identify, in exploratory point of view, which critical success factors are considered by mobile Internet users as the most important one to facilitate WiBro service, and to examine the perception of critical success factors of WiBro service varies according to their demographic characteristics. The study also was to suggest a few of research propositions on the relationships between critical success factors of WiBro service and characteristics of mobile Internet users, based on various statistical analyses. To accomplish these research purposes, the study defined research variables such as demographic characteristic of mobile Internet users, types of user, and critical success factors of WiBro service based on the review of mobile Internet service related studies. And then, the study performed various statistical analyses using survey questionnaires on mobile Internet users. The analyses show that there are little differences in perception on critical success factors of WiBro service among the mobile Internet users grouped by job and residential region, and that only the relationship between occupation of mobile Internet users and critical success factors of WiBro service is moderated by the types of user. Finally, the study proposed some research propositions, based on these analysis results, that could be used in the future studies.

In this paper, ranging code collision probability and ranging period which are two important performance measures for code division multiple access (CDMA)-type ranging in wireless broadband (WiBro) system are mathematically derived. Based on the analysis, the appropriate ranging management solution for maintaining the ranging collision probability below a certain threshold level and correctly recognizing the transmitted ranging code against propagation delay is obtained in terms of the number of ranging codes, the number of ranging regions, and ranging period. In this analysis, user mobility features such as speed and moving direction are also considered.

This paper covers the service quality of packet-based voice service that is provided over a wireless broadband (WiBro) network. Using a measurement software that has been developed in the course of preparing a advanced service quality management scheme for the packet-based voice service over a wireless network[2][3], a huge scale of experiment is conducted to measure the real quality of the voice service. Based on our analysis of the measurement result, the service quality of the voice service is supposed to be quite good over WiBro networks. In addition, another experiment to investigate the effect of degradation of wireless transmission conditions on the service quality of the voice service shows the values of wireless service metris in which mean opinion score (MOS) starts to decrease.

The common-source low noise amplifier(LNA) with inductive degeneration using a genetic algorithm is designed and tested for a down converter in an industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band application and a wireless broadband internet service (WiBro). The genetic algorithm optimizes the reflection coefficients to be well matched the input and output ports between multistage transistor amplifiers, and it generates low voltage standing wave ratio as well as gain flatness of the amplifier. The stability and the gain flatness of the LNA have been improved by combining the matching circuits and the series feedback microstrip lines with inductive degeneration at common-source port. In the frequency range of ISM band and WiBro application operating at $2.3GHz{\sim}2.5GHz$, the measured power gain and maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the LNA are $41{\pm}0.5dB$ and 1.3, and the noise figure of the LNA is lower than 0.85dB. The above results are agreed well with the theoretical values of the amplifiers.

Wibro is stand for Wireless Broadband Internet called as Portable Internet, Wireless Broadband Internet or Wireless High-Speed Internet. This provides hish-speed internet service anytime, anywhere, from anyone and device with seamless mobility and the band is located between Mobile phone and wireless LAN. Wibro service should support handover to maintain connection continuously in movement because the service is based on If system which is different from cellular system. Current Mitre Mobility system and general Mobile If system has got a problem of delayed speed and lost packets during handover. IETF protocol has been proposed for minimizing this problem and its standardization is under process, mainly focused on Mip4, Mip6 and Mipshop WG. This article studies and analyzes an effective method of minimizing handover delay to improve the problem of WiBro system and its revitalization & outlook.

In the airport, digital signage is used to provide the flight-related information for the passengers. Because the current digital signage is based on wired networking or storage medium, its use is limited in terms of the location and the usage of the digital signage. In order to overcome these limitation, we present a WiBro-based digital signage for the wireless broadband networking and the mobility of the digital signage. We perform comparative experiments with the WiBro-based digital signage and WLAN-based digital signage under various locations, datarate, advertisement contents. The experimental results showed that the WiBro-based digital signage is preferred when the mobility is required, while the WLAN-based digital signage has advantage in datarate.

WiBro (Wireless Broadband) service, developed in Korea, can provide the host mobility while its users hang around within the subnet. Next-generation Internet protocols, IPv6 and Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), provide a plenty of addresses to the nodes and enable the handover between different subnets. However, MIPv6 is not enough to support a real time service such as VoIP (Voice over IP) due to the long latency, and it is necessary to develop an enhanced handover mechanism which is optimized to the WiBro networks. In this paper, we suggest an improved fast handover mechanism while the mobile node moves around WiBro networks. The proposal is based on Fast Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) which is the representative protocol for fast handover, and reduces the handover latency by the close interaction between the link layer (WiBro MAC) and IP layer (FMIPv6). Finally, we analyze the performance of proposed mechanism through the mathematical analysis.

The packet loss and the disconnection during handoff are the most critical problems which degrade the video quality in wireless video streaming. To cope with these problems, we propose an efficient video streaming method in this paper, which does not only dynamically adjust the video transmission rate based on the raptor forward error correction (FEC) level, but also minimize the error propagation during handoff. Firstly, the channel bandwidth of the wireless broadband internet, called WiBro, is estimated by analyzing channel parameters including the carrier to interference and noise ratio (CINR) and the handoff. Secondly, the streaming server adjusts the next transmission rate according to the estimated channel bandwidth and the raptor FEC level to avoid packet error. Also, the encoder performs the intra refresh method that inserts an intra frame (I-frame) right after handoff to reduce the error propagation effectively. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can improve the performance of the video streaming over WiBro network.
