DOCSIS and IEEE 802.16 define the usage and element of a MAP which is uplink control message. Standards does not include the details of MAP size and the number of contention slots affecting the performance of MAC protocols for DOCSIS and IEEE 802.16. In this paper, we analyzed the performance of throughput and access delay according to the MAP size and contention slot size. Based on the analytical results, we found the optimal MAP size and the number of contention slots. We found that the protocol shows best performance when the MAP size is 2msec and the number of contention slots is 8. The simulation results can apply to the network system parameters. The simulator can be used to optimize the system parameters in cable network, BWA and WiBro.

In this paper, an asymmetric WDM-EPON transmission scheme is proposed to be used in a high speed access network system, which is required to implement the convergence of broadcast and communication. WDM is used for downstream transmission from OLT to access nodes, satisfying wide bandwidth requirement for broadcasting and various multimedia services. And an EPON scheme, which is cheaper than WDM, is applied to upstream transmission where less bandwidth is required. A transmission test in physical layer was performed successfully and the results are provided. If ONUs are to be used in a home gateway, its protocol should be appropriate to its traffic pattern. Voice is sensitive to a time delay while data is not. A new dynamic bandwidth assignment protocol for PON system, which can cope with various types of data in access network is proposed and its performance is analysed. A maximum cycle time is specified to achieve the QoS of signals sensitive to time delay. And a minimum window is specified to prevent the downstream control signals from uprising. It is shown by simulation that the proposed EPON protocol can provide a better performance than previous ones.

In this paper, we propose the PON-based access network based on conventional TDM-PON architecture, which utilizes WDM wavelength channel and bandwidth dynamically. It is also described a dynamic MAC protocol in order to increase the number of subscribers and efficiency of resource utilization. Of particular importance in the proposed approach for MAC protocol is that the wavelength channel and time slot for up/downlink is dynamically allocated according to the required QoS level and the amount of data in data transmission, through the dedicated control channel between OLT and ONU. We evaluate the performance of average packet end-to-end delay in a statistical analysis and numerical analysis. In addition, through simulations with various traffic models, we verified the superior performance of the proposed approach by comparing with the results of other E-PONs.

An interlocking equipment of railway signalling systems should have very high functional safety and reliability properties because of its vital railway protection functionality. In order to achieve the required safety and reliability level, an engineer, in general, designs and implements the interlocking equipment to operate under RTOS(Realtime Operating System) environment, and the control hardware architecture redundant to cope with the random failures of system or subsystem. In such an architecture, it's very difficult to implement the interlocking equipment to communicate with various interface systems including the signal operator's terminal. In this paper, we propose a dual ethernet network topology and dual packet seamless transfer protocol algorithm for railway signaling system such as the interlocking equipment. We verify in this paper that the proposed DPST protocol algorithm has the evidence of its robust properties against the random hardware faults and communication errors. The proposed communication structure and algorithm is implemented in the electronic interlocking equipment for the private railway system of Hyundai Steel Company and its performance and properties are validated on the guideline of European Railway Standard EN50159.

Home networking has been noticed as a key technology for the home automation because it is possible to remotely monitor and control the in-house appliances and devices through the network. Wireless home networking method is easily applied to the conventional houses compared to the wired home networking method because of low cost and small effort due to no extra wired works. Especially, home networking using the ZigBee protocol is one of the most attractive technologies in the wireless networking area because of its low cost and low power consumption characteristics. However, there are a lot of practical problems to be solved in implementing the ZigBee module and constructing the wireless network. In this paper, one of the practical structures of the hardware and software modules for implementing the ZigBee protocol is proposed. Moreover, problems in constructing the home networking with the proposed ZigBee module are introduced, and the effective solutions to solve these problems are described through various tests.

Mobile Ad-hoc networks have various implementation constraints such as infrastructure-free, no trusted authority, node mobility, and the limited power and small memory of mobile device. And just like wired networks, various security issues such as authentication, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, access control, availability and so on have been arisen in mobile Ad-hoc networks. But we focus on authentication of these security issues because it is quitely affected by the characteristics of networks. In this paper, we propose the authentication protocol that can limit the size of certificate repository as $log_2N$ and assures to make a trusted certificate path from one node to another, adopting the concept of Hamming distance. Particularly, our protocol can construct a trusted certificate path in spite of decreasing or increasing the number of nodes in mobile Ad-hoc network.

There are various networks and communication methods are used in industrial communication. Enterprises need to convert communications between industrial devices and networks for production line expansion, factory upgrades, network segmentation, and SI. This requires designers manufactured by many manufacturers to provide communication equipment for data or protocol conversion in order to connect and transmit various other mechanical devices to the network. This paper designed industrial communication gateway that can support the transformation of industrial communication protocol using multi-layered communication module. Industrial communication gateways have a structure that connects individual communication modules using RS485 communication to multiple layers. Each communication module consisted of analog and digital data card, LAN, and CAN-enabled card. The main board processor used Atmega micro-processor, and the RS485 slot was placed to have a multi-layer communication module structure. These additive layer type communication modules support analog and digital I/O functions and LAN and CAN for wide use in industrial communication control and monitoring.

Energy-efficient routing protocol is an important task in a wireless sensor network that is used for monitoring and control by wirelessly collecting information obtained from sensor nodes deployed in various environments. Various routing techniques have been studied for this, but it is also necessary to consider WSN environments with specific situations and conditions. In particular, due to topographical characteristics or specific obstacles, a hole where sensor nodes are not deployed may exist in most WSN environments, which may result in inefficient routing or routing failures. In this case, the geographical routing-based hall bypass routing method using GPS functions will form the most efficient path, but sensors with GPS functions have the disadvantage of being expensive and consuming energy. Therefore, we would like to find the boundary node of the hole in a WSN environment with holes through minimal sensor function and propose hole bypass routing through boundary line formation.

In these days, wireless data services are becoming ubiquitous in our daily life because they offers several fundamental benefits including user mobility, rapid installation, flexibility, and scalability. Moreover, the requests for various multimedia services and the Quality of Service (QoS) support have been one of key issues in wireless data communications. Therefore the research relative to Medium Access Control (MAC) has been progressing rapidly. Especially a number of QoS-aware MAC schemes have been introduced to extend the legacy IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol which has not guaranteed any service differentiation. However, none of those schemes fulfill both QoS features and channel efficiency although these support the service differentiation based on priority. Therefore this paper studies a novel MAC scheme, referred to as Enhanced Distributed Coordination Function with Network Adaptation (EDCF-NA), for enhancements of both QoS and medium efficiency. It uses a smart factor denoted by ACK rate and Network Load Threshold (TH). In this paper, we study how the value of TH has effect on MAC performance and how the use of optimal TH pair improves the overall MAC performance in terms of the QoS, channel utilization, collision rate, and fairness. In addition, we evaluate and compare both the performance of EDCF-NA depending on several pairs of TH and the achievement of various MAC protocols through simulations by using Network Simulator-2 (NS-2).

Owing to the development in information and communications technologies have improved the technology for high-speed transmission of massive data, which has changed closed-circuit television (CCTV) video transmission technology. In particular, digitization of the CCTV video format and streaming technology has made it possible to minimize transmission loss and integrate video transmission and camera control(pan/tilt). It has also become possible to provide additional services like remote emergency warning broadcasting with just Internet Protocol (IP). However, because of the structural problems of IP, these changes have also brought about the threat of hacking of CCTV monitoring systems. In this study, we propose a methode to optimize network management by examining cases of enhancement of operational efficiency and security by improving the structure of CCTV monitoring network.
