An adaptive resource management for mobile terminals on vertical handoff

Mobile communications and wireless networks are developing at a fast pace. The increasing number of mobile subscribers and terminals are the real life evidence of the fast growing development in the area of wireless communication. Wireless communication technology is now pursuing 4G (fourth generation) and seeking a scheme to provide quality of service (QoS) to the various applications continuously even moving to another network. In this paper, we proposed a dynamic resource management architecture which considers vertical handoff situation with minimal disruption of service to the users considering seamless provision of QoS. The proposed scheme efficiently manages resources and provides stable services to the mobile terminal. The simulation results show that resource management enabled mobile terminals utilize system resources, CPU and memory, efficiently improved by 40% and 65%, respectively, rather than mobile terminals without resource tuning.     

Secure and privacy-preserving DRM scheme using homomorphic encryption in cloud computing

Cloud computing provides a convenient way of content trading and sharing. In this paper, we propose a secure and privacy-preserving digital rights management （DRM） scheme using homomorphic encryption in cloud computing. We present an efficient digital rights management framework in cloud computing, which allows content provider to outsource encrypted contents to centralized content server and allows user to consume contents with the license issued by license server. Further, we provide a secure content key distribution scheme based on additive homomorphic probabilistic public key encryption and proxy re-encryption. The provided scheme prevents malicious employees of license server from issuing the license to unauthorized user. In addition, we achieve privacy preserving by allowing users to stay anonymous towards the key server and service provider. The analysis and comparison results indicate that the proposed scheme has high efficiency and security.     

A Trusted Key Management Scheme for Digital Rights Management

In this paper, we propose a key management scheme which can provide delivery of the key used to encrypt a digital content from the package server to digital rights management (DRM) clients in a secure manner. The proposed scheme can protect digital content from attacks since an encrypted digital content is sent by a package server and only DRM clients can decrypt the encrypted digital content. It protects the key not only from purchasers but also among the other principals who manage the distribution and license servers.

Content and Service Protection for the Ubiquitous TV Based on Network Convergence

Today, the ubiquitous multimedia services are becoming more and more popular. However, the secure solutions that confirm the content and service security in these services are still open issues because of various network convergences and device interconnections. This paper investigates an ubiquitous multimedia service architecture and proposes a secure solution for it. In this service architecture, the multimedia content is encoded with scalable video coding and broadcasted via digital video broadcasting for handheld terminals (DVB-H) to mobile terminals, the access right is transmitted by global system for mobile (GSM/GPRS) channel, and the media content and access right can also be transferred from mobile terminals to home TV through WiFi based Wireless Local Area Network. The proposed secure solution supports three kinds of business models by using various content encryption modes and secure transmission protocols. The solution’s security is evaluated and discussed. Since few work has been done to solve this problem, the work proposed in this paper is expected to attract more researchers. Additionally, the solution is also potential for other ubiquitous services.

Dynamic hierarchical database architecture for location managementin PCS networks

This paper introduces a dynamic hierarchical database architecture for location management in personal communications service (PCS) networks. The proposed scheme allows the dynamic adjustments of user location information distribution based on the mobility and calling patterns of the mobile terminals (MTs). A unique distribution strategy is determined for each MT, and location pointers are set up at selected remote locations which indicate the current location of the MTs. This method effectively reduces the signaling and database access overhead for location registration and call delivery. Besides, the required processing is handled by a distributed network of directory registers and centralized coordination is not necessary. The functions of the other network elements, such as the home location register (HLR) and the visitor location registers (VLRs), remain primarily unchanged. This greatly facilitates the deployment of this scheme in current PCS networks     

Multimedia goes mobile in broadcast networks

In digital broadcasting systems, like Eureka 147 DAB, it is possible to separate the actual service from the transmission system. Such a separation enables the distribution of any type of digital data to stationary, portable, or mobile terminals. However, a radio channel for mobile reception has certain characteristics to which existing multimedia services must adapt. We present a multimedia system model for digital broadcasting. We also discuss implementing this model within the broadcasting framework

Personal Mobile DTV Cellular Phone Terminal Developed for Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting With Internet Services

Digital terrestrial broadcasting in Japan specifies a service profile not only for fixed receivers in the home, but also for personal mobile terminals such as acellular phones and PDAs. Services for personal mobile terminals are expected to become more attractive with sufficient functionality and flexibility by utilizing the network connectivity of mobile terminals. In order to verify the possibilities of digital television broadcasting (DTV) services for personal mobile terminals and clarify technical problems at the commercial level, we developed a prototype mobile terminal capable of receiving digital terrestrial broadcasting in addition to the Internet. This paper describes the assumed DTV service for personal mobile terminals and the technical architecture of the developed mobile terminal with regard to the hardware and the software. Several experiments using the developed mobile terminal were conducted and the performance was evaluated.     

An efficient and fair cooperative approach for resource management in wireless networks

In cellular networks, the implementation of various resource management processes, such as bandwidth reservation and location updates, has been based on the one‐to‐one resource management information exchange paradigm, between the mobile nodes and the base stations. In this paper, we design and demonstrate the use of a distributed cooperative scheme that can be applied in the future wireless networks to improve the energy consumption for the routine management processes of mobile terminals, by adopting the peer‐to‐peer communication concept of wireless ad hoc networks. In our approach, the network is subdivided into one‐hop ad hoc clusters where the members of each cluster cooperate to perform the required management functions, and conventional individual direct report transmissions of the mobile terminals to the base stations are replaced by two‐hop transmissions. The performance evaluation and the corresponding numerical results presented in this paper confirm that our proposed scheme reduces significantly the overall system energy consumption when compared with the conventional one‐to‐one direct information management exchange approach. Furthermore the issue of fairness in dynamically selecting the various cluster heads in successive operational cycles of the proposed scheme is analyzed, and an enhanced algorithm is proposed and evaluated, which improves significantly the cluster head selection fairness, in order to balance the energy consumption among the various mobile terminals.

Dynamic capacity allocation for quality-of-service support in IP-based satellite networks

In broadband satellite access networks, the efficient management of the return channel transmission capacity is key in reducing the service cost while satisfying the QoS requirements of IP-based multimedia applications. In this article a dynamic capacity allocation scheme based on combined free/demand assignment multiple access is proposed, allowing the return channel capacity to be efficiently shared among many user terminals. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme provides adequate DiffServ IP QoS support while maintaining high satellite bandwidth utility and reduced DCA signaling overhead.

Determination of the Registration Point for Location Update by Dynamic Programming in PCS

Location management is important to effectively keep track of mobile terminals with reduced signal flows and database queries. Even though dynamic location management strategies are known to show good performance, we in this paper consider the static location management strategy which is easy to implement. A system with single home location register and pointer forwarding is assumed. A mobile terminal is assumed to have memory to store the IDs of visitor location registers (VLRs) each of which has the forwarding pointer to identify its current location. To obtain the registration point which minimizes the database access and signaling cost from the current time to the time of power-off probabilistic dynamic programming formulation is presented. A Selective Pointer Forwarding scheme is proposed which is based on one-step dynamic programming. The proposed location update scheme determines the least cost temporary VLR which point forwards the latest location of the mobile. The computational results show that the proposed scheme outperforms IS-41, pure Pointer Forwarding, and One-step Pointer Forwarding at the expense of small storage and a few computations at the mobile terminals.

Multicode multirate compact assignment of OVSF codes for QoS differentiated terminals

Orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes are used in both universal terrestrial radio access-frequency division duplex (UTRA-FDD) and time division duplex (UTRA-TDD) of the third-generation (3G) mobile communication systems. They can support multirate transmissions for mobile terminals with multicode transmission capabilities. In this paper, a new OVSF code assignment scheme, namely "multicode multirate compact assignment" (MMCA), is proposed and analyzed. The design of MMCA is based on the concept of "compact index" and takes into consideration mobile terminals with different multicode transmission capabilities and different quality of service (QoS) requirements. Priority differentiation between multirate realtime traffic and best-effort data traffic is also supported in MMCA. Analytical and simulation results show that MMCA is efficient and fair.
