Abstract

In the Republic of Korea, the LTE-based public safety (PS-LTE) network is being built for the 700 MHz frequency band. However, the same bands are also assigned to the LTE-based high-speed railway (LTE-R) network. Therefore, it is essential to utilize the co-channel interference management schemes for the coexistence of two LTE networks in order to increase the system throughput and to reduce the user outage probability. In this paper, we focus on the downlink (DL) system for the coexistence of PS-LTE and LTE-R networks by considering non radio access network (RAN) sharing and LTE-R RAN sharing by PS-LTE users (UEs) to analyze the UE throughput. Moreover, we also utilize the cooperative communications schemes, such as coordinated multipoint (CoMP) for the coexistence of PS-LTE and LTE-R networks in order to reduce the UE outage probability. We categorize the coexistence of PS-LTE and LTE-R networks into four different scenarios, and evaluate the performance of each scenario by the important performance indexes, such as UE average throughput and UE outage probability.

우리나라에서는 재난안전통신망(PS-LTE) 주파수로 철도망(LTE-R)에 이미 지정되어 있는 700 MHz 대역이 할당되었다. 따라서 동일채널간섭으로 인한 아웃티지를 줄이고 수율을 높이기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본고에서는 안전망과 철도망이 공존하는 LTE-R 네트워크 다운링크 환경에서 RAN 공유시와 비 RAN 공유시, 또한 협력통신(CoMP)을 적용시와 미적용시에 PS-LTE UE 수율의 향상과 LTE-R UE 아웃티지 감소를 비교 분석한다. PS-LTE 와 LTE-R 네트워크의 공존 시나리오를 수행방법에 기반하여 네가지로 구분하고, 각각의 시나리오별로 UE의 아웃티지와 평균 수율을 측정한다. 열차제어신호는 최상위 MCS (mission critical service)에 해당되기에, PS-LTE UEs가 LTE-R 네트워크의 RAN 공유시, LTE-R UE에 더 높은 우선권을 주어 자원을 할당한다. RAN 공유 환경에서 협력통신인 CS CoMP를 적용하는 경우, 최고의 수율과 최소의 UE 아웃티지 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.
