최근 전 세계적으로 5G 이동통신 표준화 및 연구개발이 시작되었다. 기존의 4세대까지의 이동통신은 주로 가정, 사무실 등 보행자 중심의 Nomadic 환경에 최적화된 형태이고 120km/h 이상의 고속환경에서는 통신접속이 끊어지지 않는 정도의 서비스에 한정되었다. 최근에는 스마트폰 중심의 모바일 데이터 서비스 사용량이 매년 가파른 증가세를 보이며 보행자 중심의 저속환경뿐만 아니라 지하철, 고속철 등 그룹이동체 내에서의 서비스도 점차 중요해지고 있다. 이동 중인 차량 내에서 일반 사용자들은 차량외부의 이동통신망을 통해 직접 서비스를 받을 수도 있고 이동무선백홀과 결합된 WLAN 혹은 펨토셀과 같은 차량내 이동 핫스팟 네트워크(MHN)형태로 서비스를 받을 수 있다. 최근 5G 이동통신에서는 고속환경(최대 500km/hr)에서도 최적의 서비스 품질을 유지하도록 요구하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 그룹이동체 내의 이동소형셀의 지원을 위한 이동무선백홀 기술의 동향을 분석하고 향후 수 Gbps급 이상의 데이터 전송속도를 지원할 수 있는 밀리미터파 기반의 MHN 이동무선백홀 기술을 소개한다.

본 논문에서는 매크로기지국과 펨토기지국의 간섭을 회피하는 방법인 자원대체 간섭회피기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 펨토셀 영역의 여유로운 자원을 할당받은 후에, 이기종망 간의 발생할 수 있는 충돌을 미리 검사하고 충돌이 예상되면 충돌가능자원을 회피하고 여유로운 자원으로 대체하여 통신을 한다. 본 기법을 적용하면 하향링크 및 상향링크에서 이기종망 간의 직교주파수를 적용하면서 발생할 수 있는 지연을 최소화 할 수가 있으며, 이기종망 간에서 주파수를 분할하여 통신을 하는 SFR 기법과 비교하여, 자원의 효율성을 높일 수가 있다.

The heterogeneous cellular network (HCN) is most significant as a key technology for future fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. The heterogeneous network considered consists of randomly macrocell base stations (MBSs) overlaid with femtocell base stations (BSs). The stochastic geometry has been shown to be a very powerful tool to model, analyze, and design networks with random topologies such as wireless ad hoc, sensor networks, and multi- tier cellular networks. The HCNs can be energy-efficiently designed by deploying various BSs belonging to different networks, which has drawn significant attention to one of the technologies for future 5G wireless networks. In this paper, we propose switching off/on systems enabling the BSs in the cellular networks to efficiently consume the power by introducing active/sleep modes, which is able to reduce the interference and power consumption in the MBSs and FBSs on an individual basis as well as improve the energy efficiency of the cellular networks. We formulate the minimization of the power onsumption for the MBSs and FBSs as well as an optimization problem to maximize the energy efficiency subject to throughput outage constraints, which can be solved the Karush Kuhn Tucker (KKT) conditions according to the femto tier BS density. We also formulate and compare the coverage probability and the energy efficiency in HCNs scenarios with and without coordinated multi-point (CoMP) to avoid coverage holes.

In the macro/femto cellular networks, the portion of channels assigned to each cell is a critical factor which sets the stability and the performance of the whole system. To grasp the concrete influence that the channel split portion have on the system, we present the queueing model for IP based macro/femto cellular networks, and find the stability conditions. Additionally we provide the strategy to decide the portion of channels allocated to each cell. Through the experiments, we prove that the proposed strategies operate feasibly in various network environments, and on the basis of these results we discuss the efficient system structure plan.

1980년대 초 1세대 아날로그 이동통신시스템이 처음 도입된 이래 이동통신은 2세대, 3세대를 거쳐서 4세대 시스템으로 진화되었다. 기존의 이동통신은 주로 가정, 사무실 등 보행자 중심의 Nomadic 환경에 최적화된 형태이고 120km/h 이상의 고속환경에서는 통신접속이 끊어지지 않는 정도의 서비스에 한정되었다. 2007년 애플의 iPhone이 출현한 이래 스마트폰 중심의 모바일 데이터 서비스 사용량이 매년 가파른 증가세를 보이고 있으며 보행자 중심의 저속환경뿐만 아니라 지하철, 고속철 등 그룹이동체 내에서의 모바일 데이터 서비스도 점차 중요해지고 있다. 그룹이동체 내에서 일반 사용자들은 차량 외부의 이동통신망을 통해 직접 서비스를 받을 수도 있고 이동무선백홀과 결합된 WLAN 혹은 펨토셀과 같은 차량 내 이동소형셀형태로 서비스를 받을 수 있다. 본고에서는 그룹이동체 내의 이동소형셀 지원을 위한 이동무선백홀 기술동향을 분석하고 향후 수 Gbps급 이상의 데이터 전송속도를 지원할 수 있는 밀리미터파 기반의 이동무선백홀 기술을 소개한다.

The proposed routing path plan in accordance with the transfer method and the traffic type of network configuration and D2D equipment navigation and data for applying a smart shipyard. Whether to execute the function to overload traffic in the core network can send to the optimized path was confirmed by using the state transition diagram. Smart shipyard, by applying D2D communication allow efficient traffic handling than conventional communication method.

In this paper, a 2.6 GHz switched parasitic array(SPA) antenna is designed to resolve the device interference in the femtocell. The designed SPA antenna structure consists of a central ${\lambda}/4$ monopole antenna as a radiator and surrounding four parasitic elements operating as a reflector or a director depending on the switching state. In addition, open state monopoles around the parasitic elements are placed to improve the directivity. The designed antenna utilizes RF FETs as switching elements instead of conventional PIN diodes, which enables beam steering with a simple structure consuming low power. To select the proper FET switch, the performance of the SPA antenna depending on the switch characteristics is analyzed. The fabricated antenna has 65 mm radius and 35 mm height, which shows about 15 dB front-back-ratio(FBR) at 2.6 GHz and enables eight-directional beam steering.

Since scarcity of spectrum in future mobile networks, millimeter wave frequencies from 30 GHz to 300 GHz have been proposed to be used in an important part of 5G mobile communication backhaul links to provide several giga bits services. In ITU-R has been invited to conduct and complete in time for WRC-19 the appropriate studies to determine the spectrum needs for the terrestrial component of IMT in the frequency range between 24.25 GHz and 86 GHz. Also, small cells such as a femtocell, and heterogeneous networks have been deployed through world in order to enhance the communication capacity. At this stage, it is important to develop millimeter wave frequencies to provide 5G mobile broadband services, and thus this paper proposes the effective usage of these frequencies by summarizing the FCC allocation of millimeter waves, their propagation characteristics, the required minimum path length, and the interference effect.

Assigning different frequency resources among adjacent cells, namely the frequency reuse technique can be utilized to mitigate intercell interference, which is a major cause of performance degradation in cellular systems. Since most of conventional frequency reuse patterns are limited to the two-dimensional environment, the research for the three-dimensional frequency reuse would be beneficial especially for the implementation of femto cells in downtown office buildings. We propose frequency reuse patterns in three-dimensional space and evaluate their performance of each pattern in terms of channel capacity. In particular, we show that the proposed three-dimensional frequency reuse patterns can be applied for carrier-aggregated transmission of LTE-Advanced systems. The performance of the proposed patterns is evaluated using computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose an access point selection method for mobile users in LTE-femtocell system. In wireless communication system, users want to receive good data service. In LTE-femtocell system, if users move a little, users can experience different data service. The proposed access point selection method help that if users move a little, users obtain the high capacity and that user selects access point that other user have not selected much and so obtains higher data service. We simulated in order to prove performance of the proposed access point selection metod. Simulation results show that in a situation that users are concentrated in order to obtain better data service users are seen scattered look. As a result, we confirm that the proposed access point selection method provides good data service to users.
