Smart homes integrated with sensors, actuators, wireless networks and context-aware middleware will soon become part of our daily life. This paper describes a context-aware middleware providing an automatic home service based on a user's preference. The context-aware middle-ware utilizes 6 basic data for learning and predicting the user's preference on the multimedia content : the pulse, the body temperature, the facial expression, the room temperature, the time, and the location. The six data sets construct the context model and are used by the context manager module. The log manager module maintains history information for multimedia content chosen by the user. The user-pattern learning and pre-dicting module based on a neural network predicts the proper home service for the user. The testing results show that the pattern of an in-dividual's preferences can be effectively evaluated and predicted by adopting the proposed context model.

With the rapid development of wireless communications and mobile technologies, requirements of various services based on moving objects like location-based services and mobile applications services have been increased. In this paper, we propose an index structure which can improve the performance on trajectory-based query especially, one of the various query types for moving objects in mobile applications. It maintains link table(L-Table) to obtain good efficiency on retrieval and insertion performance of the existing TB(Trajectory Bundle)-tree proposed for trajectory-based query of moving objects. The L-Table contains page number in disk and memory pointers pointing the leaf node with the first and last line segment of moving objects in order to directly access preceding node. In addition, we design to reside a part of whole index in main memory by preserving a fixed size of buffer in case of being restricted by available main memory. Finally, experimental results with various data sets show that the proposed technique is superior to the existing index structures with respect to insertion and trajectory-based query.

The position of sensors generally affects coverage, communication costs, and resource management of surveillance sensor networks. Thus we are required to place a sensor in the best location. However, it is difficult to consider that terrain and climate factors influencing sensors when sensor nodes are deployed in the real world, such as a mountain area or a downtown area. We therefore require a sensor deployment method for detecting effectively targets of interest in terms of surveillance area coverage in such environment. Thus in this paper, we analyze various environmental factors related to sensor deployment, and quantify these factors to use when we deploy sensors. By considering these quantified factors, we propose a practical and effective method for deploying sensors in terms of sensing coverage. We also demonstrate the propriety of the proposed method through implementing a sensor deployment management system according to the method.

Entering the 21st century, the demand on information service via mobile devices is skyrocketing along with the popularization of computers and mobile communication devices and the rapid development of wireless communication technology. In particular, as mobile device service such as LBS and Telematics becomes highlighted, the management of mobile devices is ever more drawing attention. However, since there is no fixed standard on geographical space data, many commercialized monitoring systems do not use common geographical space data but independent geographic information. Furthermore, as it is impossible to save location information of each mobile device by integrating such information after acquiring them, it is difficult to trace management. Therefore, in this paper, geographic data with DXF. DWG and SHP format, which are commonly used files, were created and visualized by GML format, OGC standard advice. And then, TMS(Trace Monitoring System of Mobile Device) that can trace and manage information after acquiring and saving space information that show the movement of users was implemented.

This paper analysis the STDMA protocol in aviation wireless data communications and carry out the performance analysis with simulation. The STDMA protocol that is currently being used in VDL Mode-4 has TDMA system characteristics, which provides time-division into several slots per one frame. The results of modeled STDMA protocol's data channel analysis show approximate 0.7 channel throughput at the transmission probabilities 0.045, 0.2, and 0.3 in the aspects of channel throughput. The delay time are 2.32434sec, 2.0293sec, and 2.12128sec respectively. These results shows the good stability in spite of variable transmission probabilities. Consequently, it is expected that STDMA protocol would be used properly for domestic communication demands and supervision system improvement by means of applying this to point-to-point communication and data/location broadcasting as a fundamental technology in CNS/ATM.

Computer performance and the development of computer appliances of today have adopted a new shape of concept, "ubiquitous computing." Thus, users can readily obtain access to abundant information as they can utilize the wireless network taking advantage of the ubiquitous concept, which allows usage inhibited by neither time nor location. In this process, the supply and feedback of information tends to be made real in the form of "interactive agent". This interactive agent with the application of artificial intelligence can enhance the reliability of information using friendly characters, and is used as a tool to grasp the intention! and behavior patterns of the users. This paper will take a look at the concept and the definition of the intelligent agent with "added characteristic", and furthermore investigate the potential and the scope of its development analyzing its features and comparing the examples of the domestic market that pursues to generate profits with it.

Nowadays, wireless infrastructures such as sensor networks are widely used in many different areas. In case of sensor networks, the wirelessly connected sensors can execute different kind of tasks in a diversity of environments, and one of the most important parameter for a successful execution of such tasks is the location information of each node. As to localization problems in WSNs, there are ToA (Timer of Arrival), RSS (Received Signal Strength), AoA (Angle of Arrival), etc. In this paper, we propose a modification of existing ToA and RSS based methods, adding a weighted average scheme to measure more precisely the distance between nodes. The comparison experiments with the traditional ToA method show that the average error value of proposed method is reduced by 0.1 cm in indoor environment ($5m{\times}7m$) and 0.6cm in outdoor environment ($10{\times}10m$).

One of the 5G goals is provide to high data rates for users moving at high speeds, such as trains. High mobility scenarios such as high speed train (HST) scenarios are expected to be typical scenarios for fifth generation communication systems. As the HST develops rapidly, it is necessary to transmit wireless communication data to train passengers, and the communication speed required by users is gradually increasing. HST users require high network capacity and stable communication services regardless of the location or speed of the HST communication system. Therefore, a transmission frame is constructed for the 5G mobile communication system in the mm band to be used for the fifth generation mobile communication, the HST communication system is implemented, and the performance of the wideband non-stationary MIMO HST channel is analyzed in the HST scenario.

Audible Pedestrian Signal(APS) is an additional equipment to provide information about pedestrian signals in non-visual formats such as audible tones and verbal messages. It can provide information to pedestrians about the location and directions of a crosswalk, and the traffic signal status. In general, a pedestrian who is visually impaired uses a 358.5MHz wireless remote controller to activate the APS and crosses at the crosswalk with the help of the APS. The existing APS can only receive an activation message from the remote controller. Therefore, the APS has an issue, especially at intersections, that all APSs within the communication range of the remote controller are activated simultaneously. It makes to confuse the visual impaired pedestrians. In this paper, we propose a BLE-enabled APS that can enable two-way communication via Bluetooth with a smartphone. The proposed system solves the problem and provides them with additional information, so that visually impaired pedestrians can cross at the crosswalk more conveniently.
