Abstract

Mobile communication systems define user state transition mechanisms in order to manage radio resources and battery power efficiently. In the state transition mechanism, a state with a higher energy consumption inherently offers a shorter access delay, so there is a tradeoff between the energy and delay performances. In this paper, we analyze the user state transition mechanism of UMTS by considering the bursty traffic attributes of mobile applications. We perform a numerical evaluation for both the energy consumption and the activation delay by Markov modeling of the state transition mechanism, and investigate their tradeoff relationship as functions of operational parameters. The resulting energy-delay tradeoff curves clearly show an achievable performance bound of the user state transition mechanism and also offer an optimal operation strategy to minimize the energy consumption while guaranteeing the delay requirement.

이동통신 시스템은 무선 자원과 배터리 전력을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 사용자 상태 천이 방식을 정의하고 있다. 이러한 상태 천이 방식에서는 에너지 소비가 많은 상태가 기본적으로 짧은 접속 지연을 제공하므로 에너지와 지연 성능 사이에 트레이드오프 관계가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이동 응용 서비스의 트래픽 속성을 고려하여 UMTS 시스템의 사용자 상태 천이 방식을 분석한다. 상태 천이 방식의 마르코프 모델링을 통하여 에너지 소비량과 활성 지연을 수학적으로 도출하고 운용 파라미터에 따라 이들의 트레이드오프 관계를 파악한다. 분석 결과로 도출된 에너지-지연 트레이드오프 곡선은 주어진 상태 천이 방식이 달성 가능한 성능 한계를 보여주며 지연 요구사항을 보장하면서 에너지 소비를 최소화하는 최적 운용 전략을 제시한다.
