This paper examines the theoretical and empirical technology diffusion processes to understand the Korean success in the internet access service markets. In order to do this, first, we propose an integrated demand diffusion model in terms of competition of inter-and intra-technologies and market structure as represented by the number of operators in the market. Second, by using the proposed model, we analyze the dynamic diffusion processes of Korean internet access services such as Narrow-band technology including Dial modem vs. Broad-band technology including ISDN, xDSL and Cable modem. The competition of inter-and intra-technologies as well as the extent of market competition has made a positive effect on the diffusion patterns of internet access demand. And also we propose, based on the proposed model and its empirical results, several implications for diffusion strategies and policies in the future of ICT market in Korea.

최근 광대역 서비스에 대한 소비자들의 욕구가 차츰 증가하고 있고 대상콘텐츠도 데이터와 음성 및 비디오까지 포함된 멀티미디어 서비스로 변화함에 따라, 통신서비스 제공업체들은 이에 대한 해결책을 찾는 것이 지상과제가 되었다. xDSL, 케이블 모뎀, 광랜 등 엑세스 네트워크가 잘 발달되어 있는 국내에서도 멀티미디어 서비스의 최종 수신 장치가 될 TV, PC, 오디오 기기 및 전화기 등에까지 네트워크를 연결하기 위해서는 댁내에서 또 다른 홈 네트워크를 구성해야 하는 상황이다. 이러한 홈 네트워크를 가능하게 하는 기술로는 홈 RF, 무선랜, 블루투스 등 무선 홈 네트워크 기술과 IEEE1394, 이더넷, 홈 PNA, 전력선통신과 같은 유선 홈 네트워크 기술로 나눌 수 있다. 무선 홈 네트워르 기술의 경우, 댁내에서의 반사와 감쇄 등의 영향에 의한 음영지역이 존재하는 단점이 있고 또 RF단을 구현해야 하므로 시스템 가격이 올라가게 된다. IEEE1394, 이더넷, 홈 PNA 같은 유선 홈 네트워크기술의 경우에는 댁내 통신을 위해 새로운 선을 포설해야 하는데 이를 위해서는 막대한 시설 투자비가 들어가게 된다. 이 막대한 투자비는 홈 네트워크 구축에 많은 시간이 걸리게 하는 요인이 될 뿐만 아니라, 일반 사용자들이 서비스를 이용하기에는 가격적으로 부담스럽게 된다. 전력선통신 (PLC: Power Line Communication) 은 전기를 공급하는 전력선에 흐르고 있는 상용주파수 50/60Hz의 저주파 전력신호에 고주파 신호를 활용하여 데이터를 실어 나르는 통신기술이다. 집안 곳곳 이미 포설되어 있는 전력선이 이미 하나의 네트워크를 구성하고 있기 때문에 번거롭고 값비싼 추가 배선작업 없이 바로 네트워킹이 가능하다. 이와 같은 이유로 고속 PLC는 설치 용이성, 접근성, 속도 및 비용부분 등에서 경쟁기술에 비하여 여러 장점을 가지고 있다. 젤라인은 국내 전력선통신 표준을 만족하는 24Mbps 고속 전력선통신 칩을 기반으로 다양한 전력선 채널환경 하에서 최적의 통신을 보장하는 전력선 통신시스템을 제공하고 있으며, 이를 소개하고자 한다.

Internet Service Subscribers Network has a new role of providing various multimedia services to the home. However, there exist several types of distributed subscriber networks using Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), Very high-bit rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL), and Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS). The efficient and concentrated network management of those several distributed subscribers networks with resources requires the general network information model, which has and conceptional managed objects independent of type of network and its equipment to manage the integrated subscriber network. This paper presents the general Internet subscribers network model of the managed object to manage that network in the form of integrated hierarchy. This paper adopts the object-oriented development methodology with UML and designs and implements the integrated subscribers NMS of cable data network and VDSL network as examples of the subscriber networks.

When using the Mobile IP which is the representative technology to secure the mobility in general IP networks, the packet loss during the handover is inescapable. To remedy the packet loss problem, the smooth handover was introduced. However, the smooth handover causes the packets sequence disruption during the packet forwarding procedure and it may result in the degradation of the network performance. The same problem also occurs in the WiBro (High-speed Portable Internet) system that is the next generation portable IP service system. The WiBro system, which provides the high speed data service just like xDSL and leased line in wired internet, aims to guarantee the portability, mobility, and the differentiated service based on IEEE 802.16. So, the handover mechanisms that solve the problems of packet loss and packet sequence distribution are required in the WiBro system. In this paper, we propose the handover mechanism and the packet sequence control algorithm that provide the reliability and the differentiated service for the unicast service in the WiBro system.

The position of the bridged tap is determined by that of the outlet in most modern apartments, since most of the indoor wiring utilizes the bus wiring structure when deploying the indoor communication line. These bridged taps deteriorate transmission performance in the specific frequency at the time of high-speed multimedia communication, which uses a high frequency bandwidth, since the duality of return loss worsens and line attenuation increases rapidly. As a result, analysis on this phenomenon is required. In this study, the test model is created by modeling the intercommunication facility of the apartment that is the most representative residential house type, and by understanding the structure and the environment of the indoor wiring. Also, how the bridge tap affects performance is analyzed when the VDSL service is provided, so that problems of intercommunication lines can be identified and methods for improving the proper intercommunication line can be suggested, which is suitable for accommodating high-speed multimedia service of the future.
