초록

3G Long Term Evolution (3G LTE)은 OFDMA와 MIMO기반 무선접속 기술을 이용해 다양한 모바일 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하는 차세대 이동통신 시스템이다. 기존 WCDMA기반 시스템과 여러 면에서 차이가 있지만, 3G LTE는 Physical Resource Block (PRB)을 무선전송 자원으로 사용하고, 모든 서비스가 PS 도메인을 통해 이루어진다는 점에서 새로운 자원관리 방식의 개발을 필요로 한다. 본 논문은 Adaptive Partitioning 기반의 다운링크 호 수락제어 방식을 제안한다. 실시간과 비실시간 호를 구분하여 호 종류별로 최대 사용가능 자원량을 미리 지정하고, 한계 초과시 잉여자원량에 비례하여 확률적으로 호를 수락하는 방식이다. 이러한 adaptive 개념은 이미 다른 호 수락제어에서 사용되어 왔지만, PRB의 특징을 활용한 적용방식을 고안하고 PRB utilization과 payload ratio을 이용해 기지국 자원사용량을 측정하는 것은 본 논문의 특징이다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 다른 방식들과 성능 비교한 결과, 실시간 신규 호의 수락을 우선할 수 있었으며, 전체 시스템 성능 또한 우수한 것으로 확인되었다.

3G Long Term Evolution (3G LTE) is a next generation cellular networks system capable or providing various mobile multimedia services by using OFDMA and MIMO based radio access technology. Among many differences from existing WCDMA based systems, the facts that 3G LTE uses Physical Resource Block (PRB) as its radio resources and provides all services through the PS domain make the development of new resource management schemes necessary. This paper proposes an adaptive partitioning based downlink call admission control scheme. It separates realtime call requests from non-realtime ones, specifies maximum allowable resource amounts for each type, but if the maximum is exceeded, call requests are accepted with probability proportional to remaining resource amounts. Despite the fact that such adaptive concept has been already adopted by other call admission schemes, the contributions of our paper, which are that we are able to find an efficient way to apply the proposed scheme exploiting PRB characteristics and measure the resource usage of base stations by PRB utilization and payload ratio, are still valid. When judging from simulation results in comparison with others, our scheme is able to prioritize realtime call requests over non-realtime ones, and at the same time, overall system performance is superior.
