Abstract

To complete the "anywhere" mobile service there should not be shaded areas. However, it is never economical to deploy BS's (Base Stations) in a low population density area due to the low resource utilization. We propose a design technique to install RS's(Relay Stations) which are cheaper than BS's and find the condition in which the proposed technique is acceptible. The proposed design technique aims to allocate the frequency and time resources to RS's to minimize the transmission rate degradation due to interferences between RS's as well as to maximize the parallelism in transmission. We showed by simulation that the proposed technique achieves cost benefits when the expected traffic is less than 20.32 percent of the total BS capacity. The proposed technique is compatible with the IEEE 802.16j, thus can be extended to multi-hop configuration.

어디에서나 이동통신서비스를 이용할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 음영지역을 해소해야 하지만 인구밀집도가 낮은 지역에 기지국(BS: Base Staton)을 설치하는 것은 그 자원 이용률이 낮아 경제적이지 못하다. 이 연구에서는 기지국보다 비용이 적은 중계국(RS: Relay Station)을 설치할 때의 설계 기법을 제시하고 이 방식이 타당성을 갖는 조건을 찾아낸다. 제시한 설계기법은 RS들 간의 신호 간섭으로 인한 전송률 저하를 최소화하면서 병렬 전송 효과를 높이도록 주파수 및 시간 자원을 할당한다. BS의 최대전송능력의 20.32%보다 작은 트래픽이 예상되는 경우에는 제시한 방식을 적용함으로써 비용이득을 얻을 수 있음을 모의실험을 통해 보였다. 제시한 방식은 IEEE 802.16j에 부합하도록 설계되었으므로 다중구간(multi-hop)으로 확장할 수도 있다.
