초록

최근 UHD, AR, VR 등 초고화질 미디어 데이터 전송에 대한 요구가 증가함에 따라 이를 위한 다양한 기술들이 활발하게 개발되고 있고, 그 중 IEEE 802.11ad 표준의 상용화가 진행 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 초고주파(mmWave)를 기반으로 근거리 통신을 지원하는 IEEE 802.11ad 표준 기반 모듈을 이용하여 실내 무선 환경을 분석하기 위해 테스트 베드를 구축하고 다양한 실내 무선 환경에 대한 측정 실험 결과를 소개하고 분석한다. 모듈로 데이터 전송을 통해 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio), Throughput 등의 데이터를 수집하는 방법으로 비교하며, 모듈의 빔 패턴과 폭을 측정하여 복도 및 사무실의 실내 환경에서 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. 이를 통해 벽의 신호 반사로 더 높은 SNR 값을 보여 실외보다 실내에 더 적합하다는 것을 확인하였고, LoS(Line of Sight)가 아닐 때의 손실을 벽면의 반사된 신호가 보완할 만큼 충분하지 않다는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 초고주파 무선랜의 실내 사용에 적합하다고 판단되며 차후 추가적인 실험 구성에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.

Recently, as the demand for transmission of ultra-high quality media data such as UHD, AR, and VR increases, various technologies for this have been actively developed and IEEE 802.11ad standard have been commercialized. In this paper, a test bed is constructed to analyze the indoor wireless environment using the IEEE 802.11ad standard based on mmWave, and the experimental results of various indoor wireless environments are introduced and analyzed. We compared the data from the module by data transmission, such as signal to noise ratio(SNR) and throughput. And we measured the beam pattern and width of the module and compared the effects on the indoor environment of the corridor and the office. This shows that the signal reflection of the wall shows higher SNR values and is more suitable to use for indoor than outdoor. It is confirmed that the loss when not in line of sight(LoS) is not enough to compensate the wall reflected signal. As a result, it is judged to be suitable for the indoor use of the mmWave LAN and can be usefully used for further experiments.
