Abstract

In this paper, a multi-hop relaying transmission scheme is analyzed regarding its feasibility and potentiality in the IEEE 802.22-based cognitive radio (CR) environment. Shortly, basic design issues are addressed such as relay station (RS) deployment and a frame structure of physical channel to escape inter-hop interference. This paper mainly develops a radio resource management scheme based on spectrum sensing results aggregated from CR secondary nodes and improves the opportunistic spectrum sharing efficiency. In particular, a decision rule about a channel availability is made using a distributed sensing method. Subsequently, spectrum allocation and routing path decision procedures are proposed to establish a link from source to destination with a hop-by-hop manner. Simulation results show that the proposed multi-hop relaying scheme is substantially profitable in CR environments if the number of hops and RS deployment are designed in such a way that the spectrum sharing gain is larger than spectrum division loss which is inherently induced in multi-hop relaying systems.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.22 기반의 인지라디오 시스템에서 다중 홉 릴레이 방식의 적용 방안을 제안한다. 먼저, 중계기를 통한 전송 시나리오를 가정하고 이를 지원하기 위한 물리 채널 프레임 구조를 예시한다. 다음으로, 분산 감지 (distributed sensing) 방식을 이용한 가용 채널 결정 방식을 제안하고 이를 토대로, 기지국 중심의 중앙집중형 (centralized) 채널 할당 기법 및 릴레이 전송을 위한 중계기 선택 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 그리고 수학적 해석과 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 분석 결과는 제안한 다중 홉 릴레이 방식이 중계기를 사용하지 않은 기존의 인지 라디오 시스템에 비해 스펙트럼 이용효율과 시스템 수율 측면에서 성능 향상이 있음을 보여준다.
