Abstract

As the wireless communication technologies are being studied for application to marine communication networks in a fusion of marine industries and IT technology, this paper proposes a HARQ-ARQ interaction scheme for reliable communication between the smart ships. Moreover, this paper evaluates the performance of the HARQ-ARQ interaction schemes through the computer simulation. In the HARQ-ARQ interaction scheme for marine network systems, as a HARQ acknowledgement is implicitly utilized as an ARQ acknowledgement. Hence, the HARQ-ARQ interaction scheme can reduce the packet delay. However, the HARQ-ARQ interaction scheme has problems caused by the error of HARQ feedback messages. Hence, this paper considers the effect of error of HARQ feedback messages on the performance of the HARQ-ARQ interaction scheme, in marine network systems. The simulation results show that the HARQ-ARQ interaction scheme can improve the delay performance of the ships in the marine network systems.

해양 산업과 IT기술의 융합으로 해양 네트워크 시스템에 적용하기 위한 여러 가지 무선통신 기술들이 논의됨에 따라, 본 논문에서는 선박 간의 안정적인 통신을 위한 HARQ-ARQ interaction 기법을 제안하고, 모의실험을 통해 성능을 평가하였다. HARQ-ARQ interaction 기법에서 선박은 HARQ 피드백으로 ARQ 피드백을 대체함으로써, ARQ 블록의 재전송 시간을 단축시킨다. 그러나 HARQ 피드백 오류로 인하여 HARQ-ARQ interaction 기법에서 성능 열화가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 HARQ-ARQ interaction 기법을 사용할 때 HARQ 피드백 메시지의 오류가 미치는 영향을 고려한다. 모의실험을 통하여 해양 네트워크 시스템에서 HARQ-ARQ interaction 기법을 사용함으로써 지연 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.
