Abstract

As the data traffic between ships and a land station continuously increase through the shipbuilding-IT convergence, several wireless communication technologies are being studied to process large amounts of data traffic. In particular, the multi-antenna system is one of the most expected technologies to provide high throughput. This paper proposes an algorithm for the base station to select the ship in consideration of channel characteristics and the transmission angle for a beam of the land station in spatial multiplexing marine communication systems. We increase the system capacity by maximizing the received signal strength of the ship using clustering characteristic of the radio channel. Also, we reduce the time to select the ship by excluding the ship with the large interference between the beams. On our computer simulation, the proposed scheme dramatically reduces the computational complexity with a little sacrifice of the throughput.

조선 산업과 IT의 융합으로 인해 선박에서의 데이터 사용량이 계속적으로 증가할 것으로 예상됨에 따라, 많은 양의 데이터를 처리하기 위한 여러 무선통신 기술들이 논의되고 있다. 특히 다중 안테나 시스템은 높은 수율을 제공할 것으로 기대되는 기술 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 공간 다중화 해양 통신 시스템에서 채널 특성과 기지국의 빔 전송 각도를 고려하여 기지국이 서비스 할 선박을 선택하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 무선 채널의 클러스터링 특성을 이용하여 선박이 수신 받는 신호를 최대화하는 방식으로 시스템의 수율을 증가시켰다. 또한 빔 간섭이 큰 선박을 제외하고 선택하는 방식으로 선박 선택에 걸리는 시간을 단축시켰다. 제안하는 알고리듬의 성능 분석을 위해 모의실험 한 결과, 제안하는 알고리듬의 수율은 전수조사 알고리듬과 근사하지만 연산의 복잡성은 크게 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있다.
