The IEEE802.16j standard uses non-transparent relay stations to extend coverage. There are two types of non-transparent relay modes, that is, the time-division transmit and receive (TTR) relay mode which can operate with one of two types of frame structures, a single-frame and multiframe structure, and the simultaneous transmit and receive (STR) relay mode. In this paper, we analyze the relay performance of TTR and STR relay modes in IEEE 802.16j MMR system. We also propose a fair resource allocation scheme for the downlink relay frame. Numerical results show that relay performance of the TTR with a single-frame or a multiframe structure and that of the STR relay modes are almost the same in a two-hop system. However, in a three-hop system, the TTR mode with a single-frame structure outperforms other relay modes.

최근 통신환경의 급속한 발전과 함께 점점 복잡 다양해지는 사회적 요구에 의해 유선망을 무선환경으로 옮겨 가기 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Frame Relay 망과 WATM 백본 망라의 연동 환경을 제안하였고, 이 망에서 Frame Relay 망의 이동으로 인하여 발생하는 망의 이동성 지원 방안과 QoS를 보장하는 단말들의 멀티 핸드오버를 효율적으로 지원하기 위한 G-CAC알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 G-CAC알고리즘은 망 단위의 이동환경에서 Frame Relay의 트래픽 특성, DE/CLP 맵핑 , 트래픽 파라미터 변환 방식을 이용하여 핸드오버 블락킹 율과 손실 율을 감소시킨다. 또한 여러 Frame Relay 망과 통신하고 있는 백본의 WATM에서는 다른 Frame Relay망들의 할당된 자원 중에 CLP비트가 세트된 셀들을 드롭하여 그 자원을 새로운 핸드오버를 요청하는 Frame Relay망에 접합된 WATM에 제공하는 QoS를 고려한 핸드오버 CAC(connection admission control)알고리즘을 제안한다.

Frame relay is a high speed wide area network technology that is used to connect various networks. Combining the advantages of packet switching and circuit switching, frame relay offers high throughput and reliability that is perfect for a variety of today's business applications. In this study, we briefly characterize frame relay technology, survey standardization activities and investigate domestic frame relay market. We developed an experimental system for the dial-up service to access remotely an enterprise network using frame relay network, and tested the performance and cost effect of the experimental system.

This paper discusses the LAN interface technics physically applicable to the ISDN exchange system through frame relay without changing of the basic exchange architecture. To ensure the success of frame relaying, it's interworking with the existing X.25 services is very imported, and for this purpose both X.75 and 1.122-based interworking alternative must be considered. Definition required to frame relay, interconnection of remote bridge and ways to design the Frame Handler carrying a frame realying in the ISDN node was introduced here. Subsequently, alternatives using the X.25 and X.75 or 1.122 as well as interconnection mechanism LAN and ISDN for the LAN interface and LAN and/or LAN interface and ISDN through frame relay was individually introduced. Through frame relay applications in the major countries, the achievement of high speed frame relaying service to the LAN was introduced.

Frame relay (FR) service via an FR interface over a common asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) backbone network requires an FR-to-ATM interworking unit (IWU), the functionality of which directly impacts the engineering of the overall network in terms of capacity required, quality of service (QoS), and the interference among different types of services. This paper presents performance analysis of frame relay traffic in IWU. Additionally frame relay traffic policing using leaky bucket algorithm in this traffic model is carried out through computer simulation. Three measurements, the percentage of frames accepted as committed, the percentage of frames that accepted but marked eligible for diacard, and the percentage of frames that accepted that are discarded because of insufficient number of credits, are simulated variously in this paper.

Frame relay is a fast packet switching technology that performs relaying and multiplexing frames with variable lengths over a wide area link at the T1 or E1 speed, by elminating error and flow control in the network. In frame relay networks, congestion control is typically performed through the rate enforcement with a discard eligibility (DE) bit, and the explicit negative feedback meachanisms using explicit congetion notification bits. In this paper, we consider the congestiong control scheme using the rate enforcement mechanism with DE bit for frame relay network. Assuming that each frame with exponentially distributed length arrives according to the Poission fashion, we can treat the frame relay switch as an M/M/1/K priority queueing system with pushout basis. We analyze and present the blocking probabilities and waiting time distributions of frames.

There are issues regarding how some of traffic parameters should be set so that ATM and non-ATM service parameters can be compatible. For example, policing method used by frame relay based on CIR(committed information rate) will not exactly match the ATM UPC(Usage Parameter Control) method. ATM and the frame relay have different transfer modes and traffic parameters. The cells and frames are police by their own traffic control schemes. For the same information, the real traffic of the ATM side takes greater bandwidth than that of the frame relay side caused by ATM cell format and AAL5 format. IN both networks this bandwidth than that of the frame relay side caused by ATM cell format and AAL5 format. In both networks this bandwidth ratio should be considered on traffic parameter mapping to maintain their QoS and to perform efficient network resource management. In this paper we describe traffic parameter mapping schemes between frame relay and ATM in ATM network and how to expect the bandwidth ratio to maintain FR QoS in ATM network. We assumed frame length distribution to Erlang or Exponential probability density function.

Most existing FRADs support only permanent virtual circuit-based frame relay services. But several applications such as intranets, desktop video conferencing, remote access and voice applications typically do not require the dedicated bandwidth capabilities of PVCs because connections are only occasionally needed. So it drives the need of switched virtual circuit-based FRADs which offer potentail cost savings associated with dynamic bandwidth on demand connectivity. In this paper, we describe Frame Relay Network Access System(FNAS) that provides switched virtual circuit-based frame relay access for dial-up Internet services. The hardware configuration, software architecture and call processing flow of FNAS is explained.

Frame relay needs UPC function for the multiplexed logical connections to prevent malicious user traffic from incoming to network, to guarantee the QoS of conformed user traffic, and to protect the normal operation of network system. On the FR/ATM interworking in ATM networks, the UPC may be conducted either by cell-based ATM UPC or frame-based FR UPC. Frames come into and traverse ATm networks by segmentation to ATM cells. Of course, FR QoS should be guaranteed in spite of segmentation and reassembly in ATM networks. In this paper, we compared the QoS of cell-based ATM UPC and frame-based FR UPC in terms of analysis and simulation in case of ingress of excess traffic over negotiated traffic parameters at user-to-network interface. Also we studied frame-based UPC schemes including window-based FR UPC and frame-based VSA which is an ATM UPC algorithm recommended by ITU-T. We described introductions to frame relay including frame structure and FR/ATM interworking, FR traffic parameters and their relationship, comparison of FR QoS between frame-based FR UPC and cell-based ATM UPC, comparison of FR UPC schemes, necessities of egress traffic control, and conclusions.

In this paper, we propose a new channel estimation scheme for amplify and forward cooperative diversity with relay selection. In order to select best relay, it is necessary to know channel state information (CSI) at the destination. Most of the previous works, however, assume that perfect CSI is available at the destination. In addition, when the number of relay is increased it is difficult to estimate CSI through all relays within coherence time of a channel because of the large amount of frame overhead for channel estimation. In a proposed channel estimation scheme, each terminal has distinct pilot signal which is orthogonal each other. By using orthogonal property of pilot signals, CSI is estimated over two pilot signal transmission phases so that frame overhead is reduced significantly. Due to the orthogonal property among pilot signals, estimation error does not depend on the number of relays. Simulation result shows that the proposed channel estimation scheme provides accurate CSI at the destination.
