Abstract

The cellular system in the next generation decreases the range of transmission of a signal as well as increases the rate of transmission adapting the method of multi-hop relaying with the relay. However, the fact of decreasing the range of transmission with the method of multi-hop relaying means increasing interferential amount in the outer cell; therefore, the deployment of the relay can affect to the function of the cellular system. In this thesis, the deployment of the relay is determined for the maximum rate of transmission, based on the transmission power of the relay and the variation of interferential amount. The condition to determine the deployment of the relay is analyzed with the mathematical model; in addition, its performance is verified through the result of a simulation. Based on the analysis of this thesis, the established deployment and transmission power of the relay to minimize the average outage probability exist. Furthermore, the relay contributes to enlargement of capacity of cells, decreasing the average outage probability in the situation of less severe interference between cells with reuse of frequency. However, the relay should be restrained in use in the situation of severe interference between cells due to the fact that the outage probability of inter-cells can be increased.

차세대 셀룰러 시스템은 중계기를 이용한 다중 홉 전송을 사용함으로써 신호의 전달 거리가 감소하고 이를 통한 전송률을 증대시킨다. 그러나 다중 홉 전송을 이용한 전달 거리 감소는 외부 셀 입장에서 간섭량의 증가를 의미하기 때문에 중계기의 위치는 셀룰러 시스템 성능에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 중계기의 전송 전력과 위치에 따른 간섭량의 변화를 고려하여 최대의 전송률을 내기 위한 중계기 위치를 결정한다. 중계기 위치 결정을 위한 조건은 수학적인 모델로 분석되었고 모의실험 결과를 통해서 그 성능을 검증하였다. 본 논문의 분석에 따르면 하나의 셀의 평균 오수신 확률을 최소화 시킬 수 있는 중계기 설치 지점과 중계기 전송 전력이 존재하며, 주파수 재사용에 따른 셀들 간 간섭이 심각하지 않은 상황에서 중계기는 평균 오수신 확률을 감소시켜줌으로써 셀 용량 증대에 기여하였다. 반면 셀간 간섭이 심각한 경우 중계기의 사용은 오히려 해당 셀의 오수신 확률을 증가시키므로 지양해야 한다는 결론에 도달하였다.
