Abstract

In this paper, we propose a handoff method supporting LBS (Location Based Services) Information in mobile clouding environment. In mobile clouding computing, handoff delay and re-authentication is occurred. A mobile node needs re-authentication procedure from cloud server whenever it arrives new AP. But Using of location information of node enables to reduce delay time due to re-authentication. To reduce re-authentication delay time, proposed method stores location information of APs on WiFi based location server to complement. GPS-based technology which can't receive satellite signal in indoor and then node collects location information of AP at handoff time. And also enables to process LBS without increasing handoff delay by splitting the process of handoff from process of requesting location information. For analysis of proposed method, We analyze handoff delay and location information process time and have compared previous handoff method in cloud environment. We confirmed that proposed method shows lower delay time without increasing LBS process time than previous method because node receives location information from location information server when handoff is occurred.

본 논문에서는 이동 클라우딩 환경에서 LBS(Location Based Services)를 지원하는 핸드오프 기법을 제안한다. 이동 클라우딩 컴퓨팅은 핸드오프 지연과 함께 재인증 지연이 발생한다. 단말이 새로운 AP에 도착하면 클라우드 서버로부터 다시 인증을 받는 절차가 필요하다. 하지만 위치정보를 이동 단말의 재인증에 사용하면 인증에 따른 지연시간을 감축시킬 수 있다. 이를 위해 제안하는 기법은 위성신호를 받지 못하는 실내에서 사용할 수 없는 GPS기반 기술을 보완할 수 있는 WiFi 기반의 위치정보 서버에 AP의 위치정보를 구축하고 핸드오프 수행 시에 위치정보를 수집하도록 하였다. 또한 핸드오프 시에 위치정보 요청을 분리하여 처리하도록 하여 핸드오프지연 시간의 증가 없이 LBS 처리를 가능하도록 하였다. 성능 분석은 핸드오프 지연시간과 위치정보 처리시간과 이에 따라 발생하는 데이터의 양을 기존의 클라우드 환경에서의 핸드오프 기법과 비교 분석하였다. 제안한 기법은 핸드오프 시에 위치정보 서버를 통해 위치정보를 수신하도록 하여 LBS 처리에 따른 지연시간이 낮았으며 핸드오프 수행시간이 증가하지 않는 것을 확인하였다.
