Abstract
This research aims to conduct a study on the feasibility of the LTE communication method for developing a dedicated integrated railway wireless network. An empirical analysis was carried out by establishing a dedicated integrated railway wireless network in an approximately 12km section between Illo station and Daebul station on the Honam line. Korean wireless communication methods for railway safety are different depending on each line, which makes it difficult for railway workers to cooperate with. This causes various problems. There is the ever-present risk of accidents due to call disconnection between wireless communication systems, frequency interference from commercial networks, and crosstalk. This study verified the feasibility of the 4th generation communication system, LTE, over the dedicated integrated railway wireless network as a solution for the above mentioned problems. The result shows this communication system exceeded existing performance standards of Europe GSM-R in every test item despite the location constraint of train tracks on the base station establishment.
