Precise localization of Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) is becoming increasingly important with the rise of diverse location-based services based on smartphone. In this article, we propose a new method for precise Wi-Fi AP localization using GPS information of smartphone. The idea is that the possible area of Wi-Fi AP location, called AP_Area, is first determined by measuring GPS information and the Received...
In this paper, a heuristic adaptive routing algorithm for an energy-efficient configuration management has been suggested which can reduce energy consumption while guaranteeing QoS for the emergency data in wireless body area networks (WBANs). The priority and vicinity of the nodes are taken into account for the selection of reachable parent nodes, when the nodes are disconnected due to the mobile...
Design of power-efficient medium access control (MAC) protocols in wireless body area networks (WBANs) is important as it helps to prolong the network lifetime. This paper attempts to survey recent works of power efficient MAC protocols for WBANs and presents a comparison of the approaches pursued. We investigate a few MAC protocols devised for WBAN by highlighting their salient features. Finally,...
Recently, there appear diverse smart phones with dual wireless interfaces such as Wi-Fi and 3G. In this article, we present a novel IP mobility management scheme in which dual wireless network interfaces are assigned active IPv6 Care-of-Addresses and used simultaneously for achieving fast handover without packet loss. In order to do that, the IETF standard HMIPv6 has been extended such that while...
Wireless body area network is one of the most suitable technologies for building patient monitoring systems in hospitals, residential and work environment. The reliability of wireless body area networks is an important research issue since it may jeopardize the vital human life, unless managed properly. In this paper, a new modeling and analysis of in multi-type failures in a wireless body area networks...
The IEEE has recently started to develop a standard for the wireless body area network (WBAN). Providing high mobility with guaranteed QoS over the u-healthcare network which are built from the converged WBAN and WLAN systems is a challenging task. This article proposes a context-aware mobility management framework which can support high mobility in the converged WBAN and WLAN networks. The salient...
In this paper, we present an adaptive handover method with application-awareness for multimedia streaming service in wireless local area networks. Traditionally, the handover method in wireless local area network did not take into account the characteristics of the application service. Thus, the severe service disruption may occur during the movement of mobile node. In order to prevent the degradation...
Providing handover with guaranteed QoS for realtime multimedia service such as VoIP, video/audio streaming, and video conferencing in wireless LAN is a challenging task. In this paper, we present a context-aware mobility management mechanism in wireless LAN, which can provide fast handover with guaranteed QoS for real-time multimedia service. To this end, the scanning period and the number of channels...
Most previous research on MPLS/GMPLS recovery management has focused on efficient routing or signaling methods from single failures. However, multiple simultaneous failures may occur in large-scale complex virtual paths of MPLS/GMPLS networks. In this paper, we present a dynamic MPLS/GMPLS path management strategy in which the path recovery mechanism can rapidly find an optimal backup path which satisfies...
