Abstract

Multicast can transmit data packet to multiple terminals by using only one transmission and enhances the system performance. However, the multicast transmission rate is fixed and the system performance is not optimized. In this paper, we propose an adaptive multicast rate control method. In the proposed method, orthogonal subcarrier is assigned to each terminal. Each terminal informs the channel status using the allocated subcarrier. Transmitter selects the optimal rate using the feedback information. With the proposed adaptive rate control method, the system performance is enhanced compared with the legacy multicast method.

한 번의 전송으로 다수의 단말기에 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 멀티캐스트 전송기법은 무선 네트워크의 효율성을 증대시킨다. 하지만 멀티캐스트의 전송률은 고정되어 있어서 효율성이 최적화 되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 무선네트워크에서 다중 전송에 사용되는 멀티캐스트의 전송률을 적응적으로 제어하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서 각 단말기는 고유한 서브캐리어를 할당받고, 이 서브캐리어를 사용하여 채널 상태를 송신기에게 알려준다. 송신기는 이러한 피드백 정보를 사용하여 최적의 전송률을 사용할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 전송률 제어기법을 사용하게 되면, 시스템 성능 향상을 이룰 수 있게 된다.
