Recently, multimedia broadcasting traffic is explosively increasing since the performance of smartphones is significantly enhanced and capacity of mobile access network such as LTE is steeply increasing. We can accommodate the multimedia broadcasting traffic via general unicast scheme or eMBMS which is a broadcast-specific scheme. First, the unicast scheme provides higher spectral efficiency compared to the eMBMS. However, unfortunately, the efficiency of the unicast scheme dramatically decreases as the number of users increases. On the other hand, although the spectral efficiency of the eMBMS is lower than that of the unicast, it can serve many users with a channel. Thus, this paper defines and investigates the capacity efficiencies of the both schemes for multimedia broadcasting traffic. In addition, we derive the optimal number of users where the eMBMS can provide the higher capacity efficiency than that of the unicast scheme.

This paper presents our performance evaluation after the way of minimizing waiting times between channel switching for eMBMS(evolved Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Services) technique in LTE-Advanced systems. Existing composition of MBMS using IGMP(Internet Group Management Protocol) transfers the data with Multicast from BM-SC(Broadcast Multicast Service Center) to eNB(evolevd Node B) and with Broadcast from eNB to UE(User Equipment). Therefore, in case of channel switching, IGMP Join report should be transferred to BM-SC and then wait user's contents to be retransferred from eNB. To achieve this, Subscriber Channel technique of priorities is used for minimizing waiting times between channel switching as UE broadcasts favorite channels in advance.

In December 2017, the world's first LTE-R for 250km/h high-speed railway was commercialized with the opening of Wonju-Gangneung high-speed railway. LTE-R has many advantages such as voice and video call, high-speed data transmission, coverage redundancy and DU redundancy. But it requires efficient use of radio resources because of a limited bandwidth of 10MHz for UL and DL, respectively. The existing unicast scheme has limited high frequency efficiency so when the number of users increases, service is limited due to the network load, which could be a problem for LTE-R in terms of stability and reliability. On the other hand, the multicast scheme via eMBMS can provide stable service even if the number of video users is high. This paper derives the number of unicast scheme users considering the LTE-R network with LAB test and calculation result, and proposes implementation plans and considerations for eMBMS commercialization on LTE-R.

To verify the trustworthiness of messages, public key certificates and certificate revocation list(CRL) has been standardized for vehicular networks. However, timely distribution of large CRLs to vehicles should be more elaborated with low bandwidth utilization from a practical point of view. To address this concern, we propose a CRL distribution scheme using long term evolution(LTE) point-to-multicast transmission, namely the enhanced multimedia broadcast multicast service(eMBMS). The schem is much more resource efficient than the existing unicast CRL distribution schemes for vehicular networks and it allows realizing the regional CRL distribution schemes efficiently in LTE network. By means of ns-3 simulation, we analyze the performance, latency, and execution time of the scheme in terms of varying coverage of the multimedia broadcast multicast service over single frequency network (MBFSN).

LTE는 3GPP Rel-8부터 시작되어 현재 Rel-13까지 진화해오고 있으며 앞으로도 계속해서 진화할 것으로 예상된다. LTE는 단말의 이동성을 제공하면서 단말과 무선 접속 망 사이에 수십~수백 Mbps 급 고속의 패킷 통신이 가능하도록 하는 기술이며, LTE를 이용해서 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 추가적으로 서비스 기술에 대한 표준화도 함께 고려가 되어야 한다. 공공안전사용기관인 주요 국가 정부를 중심으로 LTE을 공공안전용도로 사용 할 경우 최적 솔루션이 될 수 있음을 인지하고 3GPP 과제 제안을 통해, Rel-12부터 표준화를 시작하였다. 처음으로 표준화를 시작한 기술은 ProSe, D2D 및 GCSE이라는 기술이며, 2015년 3월에 완료되었다. 현재 진행 중인 Rel-13에서는 MCPTT, eProSe, eD2D, IOPS, MBMS_enh 기술에 대한 표준화가 진행 중이며 2016년 3월에 표준 완료 예정이다. 또한 2016년 3월부터는 Rel-14 표준화 기술로 선정된 MCVideo 및 MCData 표준화가 진행될 것으로 예상된다. 본 고에서 공공안전 용도로 특화되어 3GPP Rel-13 및 Rel-14에서 표준화가 진행되고 있는 주요 PS-LTE 기술의 표준화 현황과 계획에 대해 언급하고자 한다.

Short-lived pseudonym certificates as vehicle identities could satisfy both security and privacy requirements. However, to remove revoked certificates especially in vehicle communications, pseudonym certificate revocation list (CRL) should be distributed resource-efficiently from a practical deployment point of view and in a timely manner. In this paper, we propose a novel CRL distribution scheme capable of CRL multicast to only activated vehicles registered to the CRL multicast group using the group communication system enabler, namely, the GCSE which is being standardized. The scheme is resource efficient by using CRL distribution paths instead of paging processes to find out multicast vehicle(s) within a certain region. The analyzed results show that the proposed scheme outperforms in terms of paging cost, packets transmission cost, and the processing cost at the respective entities compared to the existing four schemes in the literature.

Most existing studies on broadcast services in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems have focused on how to allocate the transmission power to the subcarriers. However, because a broadcasting system must guarantee quality of service to all users, the performance of the broadcast service dominantly depends on the channel state of the user who has the lowest received signal-to-noise ratio among users. To reduce the effect of the worst user on the system performance, we propose a joint delivery scheme of unicast and broadcast transmissions in OFDM systems with broadcast and unicast best-effort users. In the proposed joint delivery scheme, the BS delivers the broadcast information using both the broadcast and unicast subcarriers at the same time in order to improve the performance of the broadcast service. The object of the proposed scheme is to minimize the outage probability of the broadcast service while maximizing the sum-rate of best-effort users. For the proposed joint delivery scheme, we develop an adaptive power and subcarrier allocation algorithm under the constraint of total transmission power. This paper shows that the optimal power allocation over each subcarrier in the proposed scheme has a multi-level water filling form. Because the power allocation and the subcarrier assignment problems should be jointly solved, we develop an iterative algorithm to find the optimal solution. Numerical results show that the proposed joint delivery scheme with adaptive power and subcarrier allocation outperforms the conventional scheme in terms of the outage probability of the broadcast service and the sum-rate of best-effort users.
