Abstract

Mobile relay systems have been adopted by $4^{th}$ generation mobile systems as an alternative method to extend cell coverage as well as to enhance the system throughput at cell-edges. In order to achieve such performance gains, the mobile relay systems require path selection and resource allocation schemes that are specifically designed for these systems which make use of additional radio resources not needed in single-hop systems. This paper proposes an integrated path selection and resource allocation scheme for LTE-Advanced relay systems using collaborative communication. We first define the problem of maximizing the downlink throughput of LTE-Advanced relay systems using collaborative communication and transform it into a multi-dimensional multi-choice backpacking problem. The proposed Lagrange multiplier-based heuristic algorithm is then applied to derive the approximate solution to the maximization problem. It is shown through simulations that the approximate solution obtained by the proposed scheme can achieve a near-optimal performance.

릴레이 시스템은 커버리지 확장과 셀 경계(Cell-Edge)의 시스템 처리량 향상을 목적으로 4세대 이동통신 시스템에 적용되어 왔다. 릴레이 시스템은 커버리지 확장과 시스템 처리량 증대에 효과적이지만 기존 단일 홉 시스템과 달리 추가 자원을 사용하기 때문에 릴레이 시스템에 특화된 경로선택 및 무선자원 할당 알고리즘의 적용을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 협력 통신을 이용하는 LTE-Advanced 릴레이 시스템을 위한 통합 경로선택 및 자원할당 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 라그랑지 승수 기반의 휴리스틱 알고리즘으로, 다중차원 다중선택 배낭 문제(Multi-dimensional Multi-choice Knapsack Problem)의 형태로 정의된 협력 통신 기반의 LTE-Advanced 릴레이 시스템 하향링크 처리율 최대화 문제의 근사 해를 구한다. 제안된 기법에 의해 도출된 근사 해의 성능이 최적 해의 성능에 충분히 근접할 수 있음을 시뮬레이션을 통해 보인다.
