Publication number: 20110256932Abstract: Provided are a method and system for detecting a bot in a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) online and in real time. By analyzing a communication pattern between a client and a server, the bot is detected based on parameters such as data length, inter-arrival time and data length auto correlation. Tests using respective parameters are combined to construct a global decision scheme, and thus more accurate detection results can be obtained. An integrated anti-bot defense system can be built by combining other tests such as a Turing test.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2010Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: SNU R&DB FOUNDATIONInventors: Chong Kwon KIM, HÃlaire Sylvain

Publication number: 20110013586Abstract: A lossless handover method in vehicular wireless networks is disclosed which is capable of reducing a handover delay and reducing overhead caused by duplicate address detection (DAD) for a new Care-of-Address (CoA) by dividing a handover process into handover at road-sections and handover at intersections. In the handover method, a vehicle continues to use an original CoA configured at an original access router at road-sections even though an AR is changed, thereby reducing a handover delay. A new CoA is configured only at intersections to reduce a binding update time of a home agent which is remotely present in an external network at road-sections. When performing the DAD for a new CoA at intersections, since the vehicle performs the DAD as a background process while performing communication using an original CoA, overhead caused by the DAD can be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2009Publication date: January 20, 2011Applicant: SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY FOUNDATIONInventors: Ha Young OH, Chong Kwon KIM

Publication number: 20110013608Abstract: The present invention relates to a WLAN virtualization system which is capable of efficiently separating a Basic Service Set (BSS) into a plurality of virtual BSSs in a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) manner. The WLAN virtualization system includes an Access Point (AP) for providing a plurality of vBSSs, and a plurality of stations corresponding to the vBSSs provided by the AP. Each of the vBSSs is operated on a superframe basis, the superframe being scheduled by a beacon frame transmitted from the AP. The superframe includes the beacon frame, one contention-free period, and one contention period. The CPs of the vBSSs include intervals which do not overlap each other. The vBSSs can be classified into any groups designated by a service provider based on certain criteria such as physical layer, QoS, security level, or network access authority, and times can be allocated to superframes at different rates or frequencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2010Publication date: January 20, 2011Inventors: Hee Jin LEE, Yong Hyu Kim, Seong II Hahm, Chong Kwon Kim

Publication number: 20110004456Abstract: Provided is a technology for providing an efficient embedding method in virtualizing a wireless test-bed network. In a virtual network embedding method in a wireless test-bed network, at least one packing point is generated in a two-dimensional strip comprised of time and frequency bandwidth, and the best virtual network slice according to the packing point is disposed. To dispose the virtual network slice, a set of packing points on the strip is collected, the suitability of the network slice according to each packing point is determined, and the network slice is disposed such that a left bottom point of the network slice is disposed at a suitable packing point. Accordingly, the length of a TDM super frame in the virtual test-bed network can be minimized.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2010Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: SNU R&DB FOUNDATIONInventors: Keun Mo PARK, Chong Kwon Kim

Patent number: 7792138Abstract: A WLAN distributed/opportunistic scheduling (WDOS) method for acquiring a multi-user diversity gain is disclosed. The WDOS method allows a transmitter (i.e., a transmission user) to observe channel conditions of receivers (i.e., reception users), and commands the transmitter to transmit packets to a specific receiver having a relative good channel condition. The WDOS method uses a modified RTS/CTS exchange method to perform the channel probing. If the transmitter broadcasts the BRTS frame, each receiver transmits a CTS frame after the lapse of its backoff period. According to the reception signal strength distribution, the backoff delay time minimizes the number of CTS collisions irrespective of the number of receivers, reduces an amount of channel probing overheads, and maximizes a multi-user diversity gain. The better the relative channel condition, the lower the backoff delay time.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2006Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Seoul National University FoundationInventors: Seong-il Hahm, Jong-won Lee, Chong-kwon Kim

Patent number: 7746837Abstract: We propose overhear-based transmitting control system in WLANs to improve performance of 802.11 wireless LANs. The main idea of this scheme is that when the transmission of a node fails, one of neighboring nodes with better channel quality retransmits the lost frame in substitution. To do so, every node should maintain overhear table to buffer the transmitted packets that is not yet acknowledged. We also present algorithms to retransmit lost packets, to maintain the overhear table and to compensate for the retransmission of packets of other nodes. The performance of this scheme is evaluated via simulations in terms of MPDU size and average path loss. It shows that in environments where the packet is likely to be lost more, the throughput gain of our proposed scheme performs better.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2007Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Seoul National University Industry FoundationInventors: Ha-young Oh, Sung-ro Yoon, Ki-baek Yoo, Chong-kwon Kim
