The precise time, which is an essential element of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as US GPS, GLONASS in Russia, Galileo in Europe, and Beidou in China, is an important foundation for various economic activities around the world. Communication systems, power grids, IoT, Cloud computing and financial networks operate based on the precise time not only for the operating principles, but also for the synchronization and operational efficiency between tasks. In this paper, we introduce the Atomium software for the first time in South Korea. Atomium was developed by ORB in Belgium to calculate the clock error(clock solution) with GNSS signal observation data based on PPP method. The observation data is provided by Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science(KRISS). The results of MJD57106 with Atomium software are presented.

Broadband ISDN will support advanced communication services such as multimedia conference, VOD and electronic news service. Because many of these advanced services require multimedia data delivery, future communication networks must have flexible and efficient multiparty communications capabilities. In this paper we propose a new multicasting method which uses packer filtering capabilities both in a physical network and in a logical network layers. This new scheme has potential to reduce the transmission and packet processing overheads of multicast communications. For the new multicasting method, we develop a group matching algorithm which finds a suitable set of groups that covers multiple target hosts. We show the application of the multicasting method and the group matching algorithm with two simple examoles.

We consider a mobile content delivery network (mCDN) in which special mobile devices designated as caching servers (caching-server device: CSD) can provide mobile stations with popular contents on demand via device-to-device (D2D) communication links. On the assumption that mobile CSD's are randomly distributed by a Poisson point process (PPP), an optimization problem is formulated to determine the probability of storing the individual content in each server in a manner that minimizes the average caching failure rate. Further, we present a low-complexity search algorithm, optimum dual-solution searching algorithm (ODSA), for solving this optimization problem. We demonstrate that the proposed ODSA takes fewer iterations, on the order of O(log N) searches, for caching N contents in the system to find the optimal solution, as compared to the number of iterations in the conventional subgradient method, with an acceptable accuracy in practice. Furthermore, we identify the important characteristics of the optimal caching policies in the mobile environment that would serve as a useful aid in designing the mCDN.

This study explored the potential associations among older adults' online community uses, socialization, and social isolation. Results from the hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the quality and size of personal networks composed of online community members positively influences older adults' socialization and reduces social isolation. However, the frequency of meeting with online community members in offline settings was not significantly associated with socialization. Moreover, the amount of time using online communities indirectly and significantly affected social isolation, mediated by socialization. Results from this study address the positive roles of online community uses in overcoming psychological difficulties among elderly people.

In this paper, we proposed a mobile ad hoc routing protocol based on AODV(Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector) with QoS(Quality of Service) support and evaluated the performance through simulation. The waste of communication resources is reduced by establishing the shortest route suitable to QoS support, considering in advance the usable communication resources at each node. For performance evaluation, we analyzed the average data reception rate, considering the node mobility and the number of best effort/QoS data flows. We found that in the mobile Ad Hoc networks the QoS service for some specific data flows increased the average data reception rate for the QoS data flows.

The main goal of this paper is to establish the management network structure by adopting TMN concept. Hence, the management network structure consists in layers; from management application layer to lower physical layer In this paper, TMN-DCN structure is designed. That means, since the current communication network technology has developed so fast and new and more diverse communication networks have appeared, There is a need to process each management information in fast manner, The design method of management network physical structure that enhances the efficiency in network management with prompt transmission and reception of management information is proposed and the architecture is designed as well. Although there is some increase in installation fee for total link that constitutes the physical structure in lower physical layer. network management can be promptly implemented since the structure that can transfer the management information fastest is proposed.

Integrity authentication of biometric data in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a critical issue because the sensitive data transmitted over broadcast wireless channels could be attacked easily. However, traditional cryptograph-based integrity authentication schemes are not suitable for WBAN as they consume much computational resource on the sensor nodes with limited memory, computational capability and power. To address this problem, a novel lightweight integrity authentication scheme based on reversible watermark is proposed for WBAN and implemented on a TinyOS-based WBAN test bed in this paper. In the proposed scheme, the data is divided into groups with a fixed size to improve grouping efficiency; the histogram shifting technique is adopted to avoid possible underflow or overflow; local maps are generated to restore the shifted data; and the watermarks are generated and embedded in a chaining way for integrity authentication. Our analytic and experimental results demonstrate that the integrity of biometric data can be reliably authenticated with low cost, and the data can be entirely recovered for healthcare applications by using our proposed scheme.

Greedy forwarding is a key mechanism of geographic routing using distance as a metric. As greedy forwarding only uses 1-hop neighbor node information, it minimizes routing overhead and is highly scalable. In existing greedy forwarding schemes, a node selects a next forwarding node based only on the distance. However, the signal strength in a realistic environment reduces exponentially depending on the distance, so that by considering only the distance, it may cause a large number of data packet retransmissions. To solve this problem, many greedy forwarding schemes have been proposed. However, they do not consider the unreliable and asymmetric characteristics of wireless links and thus cause the waste of limited battery resources due to the data packet retransmissions. In this paper, we propose a reliable and energy-efficient opportunistic greedy forwarding scheme for unreliable and asymmetric links (GF-UAL). In order to further improve the energy efficiency, GF-UAL opportunistically uses the path that is expected to have the minimum energy consumption among the 1-hop and 2-hop forwarding paths within the radio range. Comprehensive simulation results show that the packet delivery rate and energy efficiency increase up to about 17% and 18%, respectively, compared with the ones in PRR${\times}$Distance greedy forwarding.

To improve passenger convenience and safety, today's vehicle is evolving into a "connected vehicle," which mounts various sensors, electronic control devices, and wired/wireless communication devices. However, as the number of connections to external networks via the various electronic devices of connected vehicles increases and the internal structures of vehicles become more complex, there is an increasing chance of encountering issues such as malfunctions due to various functional defects and hacking. Recalls and indemnifications due to such hacking or defects, which may occur as vehicles evolve into connected vehicles, are becoming a new risk for automakers, causing devastating financial losses. Therefore, automakers need to make voluntary efforts to comply with security ethics and strengthen their responsibilities. In this study, we investigated potential security issues that may occur under a connected vehicle environment (vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and internal communication). Furthermore, we analyzed several case studies related to automaker's legal risks and responsibilities and identified the security requirements and necessary roles to be played by each player in the automobile development process (design, manufacturing, sales, and post-sales management) to enhance their responsibility, along with measures to manage their legal risks.

무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 응용 분야와 환경에 배치되기 때문에, 악의적인 목적을 가진 사용자의 공격에 손쉽게 노출되어 있다. 선택적 전달 공격은 센서 네트워크에서 발생 할 수 있는 가장 대표적인 라우팅 공격 중의 하나로, 데이터 패킷의 정상적인 전달을 차단하여 상황 인지 및 이에 대한 대응을 지연시킨다. 기존에 제안된 탐지 기법은 패킷 전달 경로 상에 감시 노드를 선정하고, 패킷이 전송 될 때마다 인증메시지를 소스 노드에게 전송하여 공격 발생 여부를 탐지한다. 하지만, 패킷을 전송할 때 마다 공격 탐지를 수행하기 때문에 한정된 에너지를 바탕으로 동작하는 센서 네트워크에 적합하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 탐지율을 충분히 유지하면서도 높은 에너지 효율성 위해 센서 네트워크의 특성을 고려한 선택적 전달 공격 탐지 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법에서는 기존 기법에서와 같이 즉시 탐지를 수행하는 대신에 패킷 전송 시간을 고려한 네트워크 모니터링을 수행하고, 공격 받았을 가능성이 있는 경로에 대해서만 지연탐지를 수행한다. 본 논문의 우수성을 보이기 위해서 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능 평가를 수행하였으며, 그 결과 기존 기법에 비해 탐지율이 평균 약 15% 향상되었고, 네트워크의 에너지 소모량이 평균 약 54% 감소하였다.
