Different network provides different service. To maximize the profit, heterogeneous networks form a whole, which may either compete or cooperate with each other. In this paper, the healthcare monitor network architecture is introduced to build the competitive and cooperative mechanisms of heterogeneous networks which contain three networks, namely, cellular network, WLAN and WMAN. This paper considers the natural growth rate of the network with competitive and cooperative effects. Then, the stability of the proposed model and its equilibrium points are analyzed by the ordinary differential principle. Finally, simulation results show that the natural growth rate cannot increase the profit of the network, but effective cooperative among heterogeneous networks can increase the profit of each network, and competitive may decrease the profit of each network.

Future wireless network aims to integrate different radio access networks (RANs) to provide a seamless access and service continuity. In this paper, a new resource denotation method is proposed in the WLAN and LTE heterogeneous networks based on a concept of spectral bandwidth mapping. This method simplifies the denotation of system resources and makes it possible to calculate system residual capacity, upon which an economic model-based network selection algorithm is designed in both under-loaded and over-loaded scenarios in the heterogeneous networks. The simulation results show that this algorithm achieves better performance than the utility function-based access selection (UFAS) method proposed in [12] in increasing system capacity and system revenue, achieving load balancing and reducing the new call blocking probability in the heterogeneous networks.

신규 무선 네트워크 기술의 발전은 현재의 단일 네트워크 위주의 구성을 가진 무선 서비스 사업자에 새로운 다중 네트워크 (Heterogeneous Network) 환경을 맞이하게 하였다. 또한 무선 통신 사용자 수는 계속적인 증가추세에 있고 사용자들이 원하는 서비스의 종류 또한 계속적으로 다양해지고 있으며 사용자가 기대하는 서비스의 질과 수준 역시 높아지고 있다. 이에 무선 서비스 사업자들은 사용자들의 높아진 서비스 품질을 만족시키고 새로운 형태의 서비스를 안정적으로 공급하며, 현재의 네트워크와 신규 네트워크의 조화로운 운용을 위해 새로운 형태의 운용 구조 (Operation Framework)를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크간의 비용/효용에 대한 한계 비용 (Marginal Cost) 산정 기법을 도입하여 서비스에 따른 최적 네트워크 운용 기법에 대해 논술한다.

본 연구에서는 Heterogeneous Network에서의 간섭제어에 관한 기술 동향을 살펴보고, 간섭 제어 기술 중 3GPP release 10에서의 주요 기술 enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (enhanced ICIC, eICIC)을 택하여 성능을 분석해 보았다. eICIC기술 중 시간영역에서의 간섭 제어인 Almost Blank Subframe (ABS)와 Cell Range Expansion (CRE) 기술에 의한 성능을 분석하였다. Heterogeneous Network에서 macrocell과 femtocell 간의 간섭 제어를 적절히 하기 위해서는 ABS기술과 CRE 기술 간의 조합이 중요할 것으로 보인다. Heterogeneous Network의 전체 성능 평가는 정량적으로는 분석되기 어려워 system level simulation에 의해서 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 SLS 방식으로 다양한 환경에 대한 성능을 분석함으로써 Heterogeneous Network 운영에 있어 각각의 요소가 미치는 영향을 파악할 수 있도록 하였으며, Heterogeneous Network에서의 ABS와 CRE의 결합에 의한 효과를 분석하였다.

Mobile users want to be provided with undisrupted network services when they navigate on the Next-Generation (NG) wireless networks. For that, interlocking with a heterogeneous network is important, but there have been few studies on the method for guaranteeing global mobility. Thus, this paper proposes the Proxy-LMA technique, the mobile IP-based global inter-networking system, to enhance global mobility and interoperability within the Next-Generation (NG) network environment. The purpose of the proposed Proxy-LMA system is to expand the boundary of the mobility with regards to the existing mobility management protocol (PMIPv6 and MIPv6) in order to guarantee global mobility and interoperability within the heterogeneous network environment. The results of the performance evaluation showed that the proposed Proxy-LMA system was more efficient than other methods from the standpoint of signaling cost and delay in the heterogeneous network environment.

Smart healthcare environments which merge medical and IT technology are getting ready for the third generation centering EHR from current second generation. As a basic technology for the introduction and activation of EHR systems it requires heterogeneous network interworking techniques between various wired and wireless medical devices. Interworking technology for heterogeneous network among various medical devices is needed to introduce EHR system. The heterogeneous network interworking technology is needed for construction of a reliable data system to convert each of unstructured data into structured data. Therefore, in this paper, we identify the domestic and international trends of smart medical field and analyze the characteristics of wired and wireless communication technology that is used in a heterogeneous network. and also suggest requirements needed for interworking technology and provide interworking technology based on them. we expect that proposed method which is designed for smart healthcare environments would provide a basic architecture needed for third smart medical technology generation.

In heterogeneous wireless networks supporting multi-access services, selecting the best network from among the possible heterogeneous connections and providing seamless service during handover for a higher Quality of Services (QoSs) is a big challenge. Thus, we need an intelligent vertical handover (VHO) decision using suitable network parameters. In the conventional VHOs, various network parameters (i.e., signal strength, bandwidth, dropping probability, monetary cost of service, and power consumption) have been used to measure network status and select the preferred network. Because of various parameter features defined in each wireless/mobile network, the parameter conversion between different networks is required for a handover decision. Therefore, the handover process is highly complex and the selection of parameters is always an issue. In this paper, we present how to maximize network utilization as more than one target network exists during VHO. Also, we show how network parameters can be imbedded into IEEE 802.21-based signaling procedures to provide seamless connectivity during a handover. The network simulation showed that QoS-effective target network selection could be achieved by choosing the suitable parameters from Layers 1 and 2 in each candidate network.

This paper analyzes the time complexity of Genetic Algorithm based Task Scheduling (GATS) which is designed for the scheduling of parallel programs with diverse embedded parallelism types in a heterogeneous network systems. The analysis of time complexity is performed based on two representation methods (REIA, REIS) which are proposed in this paper to encode the scheduling information. And the heterogeneous network systems consist of a set of loosely coupled parallel and vector machines connected via a high-speed network. The objective of heterogeneous network computing is to solve computationally intensive problems that have several types of parallelism, on a suite of high performance and parallel machines in a manner that best utilizes the capabilities of each machine. Therefore, when scheduling in heterogeneous network systems, the matching of the parallelism characteristics between tasks and parallel machines should be carefully handled in order to obtain more speedup. This paper shows how the parallelism type matching affects the time complexity of GATS.

산업현장에서 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 이기종 필드 센서 네트워크의 경우 센서간 통신은 CAN 통신 방식을 기반으로 버스형 구조로 설계되어 있다. 이러한 네트워크는 버스형 구조 특성상 거리 벡터 라우팅 프로토콜을 지원하고 있으며, 또한 이기종 네트워크를 지원할 경우 별도의 라우팅 테이블을 두어 변환하는 방식을 지원한다. 하지만 이러한 네트워크는 확장의 제한 및 늦은 전송처리속도 문제로 인해 네트워크 효율성 저하에 원인이 되고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 네트워크의 확장성 및 높은 전송 처리속도를 보장하기 위한 새로운 CAN 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 라우팅 프로토콜은 RIPv2 기반으로 설계되었으며, 거리 벡터 라우팅 프로토콜의 단점을 보안하기 위해 우선순위 부여 및 부가 기능을 부여할 수 있는 구간을 두는 방식을 지원하도록 설계하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식의 효율성 증가를 검증하기 위해 CAN 통신 기반으로 이기종 필드 센서 네트워크를 구축하여 데이터 전송률을 측정하였다.
