초록

도심지역에서 사용되는 DSRC 통신시스템은 노변기지국과 차량간 100미터의 통신거리를 갖고 있으며, 이 특성을 이용하여 DSRC시스템에서 RSE(Road Side Equipment)는 차량으로부터 교통정보를 수집하거나 차량에 교통정보를 제공한다. 그러나 고속도로상에서 100미터 통신범위를 갖는 RSE를 사용하는 것은 장비가격 및 설치비가 고가이어서 현실적으로 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 RSE의 표준 셀 범위를 100미터에서 300미터로 확장하고 차량단말기가 RSE와 통신할 수 없는 불감지역을 Cover 하기 위하여 Fixed Relay를 도입하였으며, 이로 인해 Fixed Relay를 사용하는 것이 RSE 만을 사용하는 것 보다 더 경제적인 것을 보인다.

Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) systems in urban areas are used to collect traffic information from vehicles and to provide vehicles with information received from Roadside Equipment (RSE) having a range of 100 meters (m). However, it is not practical to use RSE with a range of 100 m for express highways. In this paper, we expand the standard cell coverage of RSE to 300 m, and adopt fixed relays to cover sites that cannot communicate with the RSE. We demonstrate that the system using the fixed relays is more economical than using only RSE.
