Abstract

In order to provide continuous QoS guaranteed to a mobile user, it is required to deploy some kind of mechanisms which reserves resources in advance at the locations to which the mobile user is expected to move. An important issue with regards to these mechanisms is to minimize the waste of resources caused by redundant reservations while keeping up the QoS guaranteed services to the user In this paper, we propose a wireless network domain structure which deploys a special cell, called “a gray cell”. The boundaries of two or more neighboring domains are surrounded by the gray cells, and the gray cells are supposed to belong to all of its neighboring domains. Based on this wireless domain structure, we propose a mechanism which completely removes the waste of redundant resource reservation in the wireless network domain while greatly reducing the risk of reservation disruption caused by inter-domain handover. Using simulation, it is shown that the proposed mechanism can deal with inter-domain handover as effectively as it does with intra-domain handover. It is also presented that the proposed mechanism outperforms existing mechanisms with respect to reservation disruption time and packet losses caused by handovers.

이동 사용자에게 지속적인 서비스품질 보장을 제공하기 위해서는 일반적으로 사용자 방문할 것으로 예상되는 지역에 사전에 중복적으로 자원을 예약하는 방안을 사용한다. 이와 같은 방식에서 관건이 되는 문제는 중복적 자원 예약에 의한 자원 낭비를 줄이면서도 서비스품질 보장의 연속성을 유지하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 지리적으로 인접한 두 개의 무선 네트워크 도메인 사이에 두 도메인에 모두 속하는 그레이 셀을 두는 무선 네트워크 구조를 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 무선 네트워크에서의 중복적인 자원 예약을 완전히 제거하면서도 도메인 간 이동으로 인한 일시적 자원 예약 단절을 크게 줄일 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 방안은 도메인 간 이동이 발생하는 경우에도 도메인 내에서 이동 할 때와 유사한 성능을 보이며, 예약 단절 시간이나 패킷 손실율면에서 기존의 방법보다 훨씬 나은 성능을 제공함을 볼 수 있었다.
