Abstract

In railway communication, LTE based railway wireless communication systems have been developed to support high data rate and reliable communication link. In this paper, the testbed of LTE based railway wireless communication systems is introduced. Then, we describe measurement results of communication performance such as radiation strength, communication coverage, call setup time, handover success rate, and data transmission rate in the testbed. We also consider requirements for commercialization based on measurement results.

철도통신에서 데이터의 전송속도를 향상시키고 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송을 위해 LTE기반 철도 무선통신시스템에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LTE기반의 철도 무선통신시스템의 테스트베드에 대해 소개한다. 테스트베드상에서 무선통신시스템을 이용하여 전계강도, 통신 도달거리, 통화설정시간, 핸드오버 성공률, 데이터 전송속도 등과 같은 기본적인 통신성능 측정결과에 대해 소개한다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 향후 시스템 상용화에 필요한 사항들에 대해 논의한다.
