Abstract

Internet traffic is rapidly increasing due to the spread of personal smart devices. It causes serious burden on base stations and access points which are installed in buildings, buses, trains, and ships. We consider a communication scenario aboard a cruise ship and propose efficient contents distribution schemes to alleviate the burden of access points with multi-device-to-multi-device(MD2MD) communication. The proposed transmission method is based on the hybrid STBC-SM scheme. We compare the error performance of MD2MD communication system on the cruise ship using space-time block coding (STBC) scheme, spatial multiplexing (SM) scheme. The proposed MD2MD communication system is expected to adopt in the ship-area-network (SAN) with efficient contents distribution and reliable communication.

최근 몇 년 간 스마트 폰과 같은 개인 스마트 디바이스들의 확산으로 인해 인터넷 트래픽이 급증하고 있다. 이는 지상에 있는 기지국뿐만 아니라 건물, 버스, 철도, 선박 등에 설치된 AP(Access Point)나 기지국에도 심각한 과부하를 야기한다. 따라서 이를 해소하기 위해 크루즈선과 같은 선박 내부에서 효과적인 콘텐츠 분배를 위한 통신시나리오를 제안한다. 또한 제안한 시나리오 안에서 기존의 단말 간 직접통신(D2D: Device-to-Device)을 확장하여 다중 단말 간(MD2MD: Multi-Device-to-Multi-Device) 직접 통신 네트워크를 구성하고 이에 적합한 전송기법을 제시한다. 제안한 선박 내 다중 단말 간 직접통신 방식은 STBC(Space-Time Block Coding) 전송기법, SM(Spatial Multiplexing) 전송기법, 그리고 하이브리드 STBC-SM 기법을 비교분석하여 전송률(throughput) 관점에서 향상된 성능을 보인 전송기법을 채택했다. 제안한 방식은 선박 내 통신 특히 사용자의 수가 많아 트래픽이 심하여 선박 내 설치된 AP의 과부하가 심할 경우 이를 분배하고 사용자들에게 효율적으로 보다 질 높은 콘텐츠를 제공할 수 있는 기술로 기대된다.
