초록

본 논문은 IEEE 802.16 기반의 TDD-OFDMA 하향링크의 서비스 커버리지 향상을 위한 단순 릴레이 협력 자원 관리(SRARA Simple-Relay Aided Resource Allocation) 구조를 제시하고, 채널 스케줄러가 적용되었을 때의 성능 향상을 서비스 커버리지 및 유효 섹터 수율 측면에서 분석하였다. 단순 이동 릴레이는 고정 릴레이와 달리, 송신 전력 수준이 낮고, 기지국으로부터 받은 데이터를 다른 이동 단말로 전달할 수 있는 기능만 가지며, 낮은 송신 전력 수준 때문에 제한된 개수의 부채널만을 사용할 수 있다. 모의실험에서는 PF (Proportional Fair) 및 TGS (Throughput Guarantee Scheduling) 채널 스케줄러가 고려된 SRARA 구조에 대하여, 서비스 커버리지 및 유효 섹터 수율을 평가하였다. 릴레이의 송신 전력은 500 mW와 1 W에 대해서 고려하였고, 릴레이가 사용할 수 있는 부채널의 수는 1개 또는 2개로 제한되었다. 상대적으로 낮은 송신전력인 500 mW에서는, 릴레이가 1개의 부채널로 모든 전력을 다 사용하는 방식이, 2개의 부채널로 전력을 나누어 사용하는 방식보다 커버리지 성능 향상이 우수하였다. 1 W 경우에는, 릴레이가 2개의 부채널을 사용할 때 더 많은 커버리지를 제공하였다. 상대적으로 낮은 QoS 요구조건인 64 kbps에서는 릴레이에 의한 커버리지 향상이 스케줄러 설계에 의한 커버리지 향상보다 많았지만, 128 kbps 요구조건에서는 제한된 자원만을 활용하는 릴레이보다는 TGS에 의한 서비스 영역의 향상이 크게 나타났다.

Simple-relay aided resource allocation (SRARA) schemes are incorporated with throughput guarantee scheduling (TGS) in IEEE 802.16 type TDD-OFDMA downlink to enhance service coverage, where the amount of resources at each relay is limited due to either its available power which is much smaller than base station (BS) power or the required overhead The performance of SRARA schemes is evaluated with both proportional fair (PF) and TGS schedulers at 64 kbps and 128 kbps user throughput requirements. For SRARA with RSs of relatively lower power, a scheme putting total power into only one subchannel shows larger coverage than when both subchnnels are used in a manner of equal power allocation, while the RS with evenly power-allocated two subchannels could provide larger coverage gain for a relatively higher power. In a lower target (64kbps), more improvement comes from relay scheme rather than scheduler design. For a relatively higher level (128 kbps), it comes from scheduler design rather than relay.
