Abstract

This paper proposes distributed file placement and coverage expansion techniques for mitigating the traffic bottleneck in backhaul for small-cell networks. In order to minimize the backhaul load with limited memory space, the proposed scheme controls the coverage and file placement of base station according to file popularity distribution and memory space of base stations. In other words, since the cache hit ratio is low when there is small memory capacity or widespread file popularity distribution, the base stations expand its coverage and cache different set of files for the user located in overlapped area to exploit multiple cached file sets of base stations. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional cache strategy in terms of network throughput when there is small memory capacity or widespread file popularity distribution.

본 논문은 제한된 백홀 용량으로 발생하는 소형셀 네트워크에서의 트래픽 병목현상을 완화하기 위한 분산 파일저장 기술과 커버리지 확장 기술을 제안하였다. 제안 기법은 한정된 메모리 용량으로 백홀 망의 부하를 최소화하기 위해 파일의 인기도와 기지국의 메모리 용량에 따라 기지국의 커버리지와 파일 저장방법을 결정한다. 즉, 메모리 공간이 작거나 이용자들로부터 요청되는 파일이 다양할 경우 개별 기지국에 저장된 파일로 이용자를 서비스할 수 있는 확률이 낮아지므로 커버리지를 확장하고 기지국 사이 저장 파일의 중복을 줄여 커버리지 중첩지역에 있는 이용자가 다수의 기지국에 저장된 다양한 파일로 서비스 받을 수 있게 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 기존 배타적인 커버리지를 갖는 소형셀 네트워크에서의 파일저장 기법과의 전송용량 비교를 통해 제안 기법이 메모리 공간이 작거나 이용자들로 부터 요청되는 파일이 다양한 상황에서 높은 성능 이득을 가짐을 보였다.
