Abstract

The drone-type base station will be an optimal platform as a way of information sharing for efficient operation of the military force due to their high network flexibility. It is expected that the characteristics of the drone-type base station which would freely adjust the altitude can be used to offset the propagation attenuation characteristics of the millimeter-wave frequency band by securing the stable Line of Sight. In this paper, we proposed a framework for evaluation drone-type base station that can be utilized as a future military communication network by performing modeling for performance analysis that can reflect various factors.

군 병력의 효율적 운용을 위한 정보공유의 수단으로서 높은 망 유연성을 제공할 수 있는 드론형 기지국이 최적의 플랫폼이 될 것으로 예상된다. 또한 넓은 대역폭을 활용 가능한 밀리미터파 주파수대역은 대용량 데이터를 송수신하는데 적합하지만 shadowing에 취약한 특성을 가지게 되는데, 자유롭게 고도를 조절할 수 있는 드론형 기지국의 특성을 활용하면 LoS를 안정적으로 확보하여 취약점을 상쇄할 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 요소가 반영된 드론형 기지국의 성능분석을 위한 모델링을 수행함으로써, 차후 군 통신망으로써 활용가능성이 기대되는 드론형 기지국의 성능평가에 대한 틀을 제공하고자 한다.
