Abstract

In this paper, we propose a resource allocation scheme that guarantees transmission rate for each mobile stations by mitigating interference between a base station-to-mobile station link and a relay station-to-mobile station link. Specifically, we dynamically adjust the boundary between access zone and relay zone using signal to interference plus noise ratio. Moreover, we cluster the mobile stations under sever interference and manage the channel quality of these mobile stations by allocating additional radio resource. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the efficiency of radio resources and ensure fairness among mobile stations.

본 논문에서는 멀티 홉 릴레이 네트워크에서 기지국(base station), 중계국(relay station)과 각 단말(mobile station)간의 전송률(throughput)을 향상시킬 수 있는 자원 할당 방법과 간섭을 겪는 단말들의 간섭을 최소화하여 모든 단말의 전송률을 보장하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 멀티 홉 릴레이 시스템에서 기지국과 릴레이가 주파수 자원을 공유할 수 있으므로 간섭에 취약한 단말들이 생길 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 단말의 신호대 잡음 간섭 비(signal to interference plus noise ratio)를 이용하여 엑세스 영역(access zone)과 릴레이 영역(relay zone)의 경계를 동적으로 조절하는 기법과 함께 간섭에 취약한 단말을 분류하고 이를 관리하는 기법을 제안한다. 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 기법이 무선자원 사용의 효율성을 향상하고 각 단말들의 공평성을 보장하며 네트워크 전체 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.
