Abstract

The current domestic railway wireless communication networks transmit and receive data using several communication schemes such as VHF, TRS-ASTRO, and TRS-TETRA depending on the specific region. Recently, LTE scheme has been adopting in railway wireless communication systems to provide various services and increase reliability. It is critical to support the network interoperability between the existing communication schemes and new communication scheme for seamless data transmission. In this paper, we propose two interoperability schemes in railway communications networks, i.e., network oriented scheme and terminal oriented scheme. We consider the operation scenario for each scheme and compare two interoperability schemes. The practical implementation issues are also discussed based on suggested schemes.

현재 국내 철도 무선통신망은 구간별로 VHF, TRS-ASTRO, TRS-TETRA 등의 서로 상이한 통신방식을 사용하여 정보를 송수신하고 있다. 최근에는 다양한 서비스를 제공하고 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해 LTE방식을 철도 무선통신에 적용하는 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 다양한 통신방식을 사용하는 철도 무선통신망에서 끊김 없는 정보전송을 제공하기 위해서는 기존 통신방식과 새로운 통신방식 간의 연동이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 두 가지 망 연동방안, 즉 단말기 중심의 연동방안 및 망 중심의 연동방안에 대해 소개한다. 두 가지 연동방안을 이용한 운용시나리오에 대해 알아보고 두 가지 방안의 차이점을 비교한다. 또한 실제 시스템 적용시 고려사항에 대해서도 논의한다.
