Abstract: There are provided a quality of service (QoS)-providing system and a method for providing quality of service for mobile nodes in the QoS-providing system. Under a network environment running a host-based network layer mobility protocol based on tunneling mechanism, the QoS-providing system may be useful to allow effective mobility supports by distributing binding information to the distributed nodes, in order to provide session-based quality of service for tunneled packets between the mobile nodes on the access nodes and distribute traffic load concentrated on the central mobility control platform as well. Also, the QoS-providing system according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be useful to provide the function of hiding locations of mobile nodes since a care-of address of the mobile node is not transferred to a correspondent node and to automatically perform a route optimization procedure even when the mobile node does not directly perform a route optimization procedure.

Abstract: A system and method of controlling transmission of adaptive media over handover performed between heterogeneous networks are disclosed. When a mobile terminal moves, it detects the necessity of handover between the heterogeneous networks, determines a target network to which it may perform handover, and transmits handover information to an adaptive media server that controls a transmission rate of adaptive media to previously inform about the handover. Then, the adaptive media adjusts a transmission rate of the adaptive media by using the received handover information, and when the mobile terminal performs handover to the target network, it can receive the adaptive media from the adaptive media server. Accordingly, when the mobile terminal using a real time multimedia service in a wireline/wireless environment in which various accessing techniques are integrated performs handover between heterogeneous networks, a change in quality of experience (QoE) sensed by subscribers due to the handover can be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (WDM-PON) system which transmits downstream data to an optical network unit (ONU) as an optical line termination (OLT) receives seed light from a spectrum-sliced external light source module.
