Abstract

LR-WPAN(Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network) hewn as IEEE 802.15.4 is considered as one of the most suitable specifications published until now to accomplish USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network). In this paper we simulate interference effects to other systems if LR-WPAN will be used in 900MHz. In considering the current usage situation of 900MHz frequency band, we can think LR-WPAN shares the frequency band of $908.5{\sim}914MHz$ assigned for RFID/USN. The simulation results of the case of LR-WPAN and RFID/USN sharing the frequency band show that the probability of interference of LR-WPAN to CT1 and RFID is 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively. In order to avoid interference effects to public communications, simulations results show that the protection distance of about loom is needed.

IEEE 802.15.4로 알려진 LR-WPAN(Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network)은 현재까지 발표된 시스템 규격 중에서 가장 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)을 구현하기 적합한 시스템으로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LR-WPAN이 900MHz 대역에서 이용되는 경우, 타 시스템에 미치는 간섭 영향을 시뮬레이션하였다. 국내의 900MHz 대역 주파수 이용 현황을 고려해보면, LR-WPAN이 RFID/USN으로 할당된 주파수를 공유해서 이용하는 것을 생각해볼 수 있다. LR-WPAN이 RFID/USN 대역을 공동으로 이용하는 경우에 대한 간섭 시뮬레이션 결과, CT1과 RFID에 미치는 간섭 확률은 각각 2.5%와 2.1%로 계산되었으며, 공공통신에 미치는 간섭영향이 없기 위해서는 약 100m 이상의 보호거리가 필요한 것으로 계산되었다.
