According to the shut-down of Analog TV service on 30th. December, 2012, UHF Digital Dividend Band (698~806MHz) could be used for Mobile service such as LTE(Long Term Evolution). In the condition that this band is allocated for LTE service, Interference evaluation between LTE and adjacent DTV service was carried out, using LTE-A system-level simulator which was developed for simulation of IMT-Advanced technology. If LTE service be commercialized in this band, this study proposes the coexistence condition through the interference evaluation such as the effects not only to DTV receiver from LTE terminal but also to LTE base station from DTV transmitter. It is expected that the coexistence condition by these studies will be applied to network algorism for IMT-Advanced system in this band.

Long term evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems adopt closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output antenna techniques. Equal gain transmission which has equal gain property is the key factor in their codebook design. In this paper, a novel differential codebook structure which maintains the codebook design requirements of LTE or LTE-A systems. Especially, eight-phase shift keying (8-PSK) constellations are used as elements of codewords, which not only maintain equal gain property but also reduce the computation complexity of precoding and decoding function blocks. The equal gain property is very important to uplink because the performance of uplink is very sensitive to the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). Moreover, the operation of the proposed differential codebook is explained as a rotation-lock structure. As the results of computer simulations, the steady-state throughput performance of the proposed codebook shows at least 0.9dB of SNR better than those of the conventional LTE codebook with the same amount of feedback information.

Since OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology is applied into LTE(Long Term Evolution)/LTE-Advanced system, it is important to estimate the spectrum sharing and to analyze interference in LTE system based on the characteristics of frequency assignment. Therefore, in this paper, a study on the adjacent channel interference between two operators/systems to provide LTE services. For co-existence of LTE systems, the relative capacity loss and the relative throughput loss in uplink and downlink have been simulated to evaluated ACIR(Adjacent Channel Interference Ratio) values with 5% loss rate. Some parameters such as the location of user, aggressor bandwidth, and the separation offset affect the required ACIR value for spectrum sharing, and these results and interference analysis schemes in this article can provide reliable reference for LTE RF standardization and efficient frequency utilization in future.

AIS is widely utilized in vessel traffic services for marine traffic safety. In 2021, Korea deployed the high-speed maritime wireless communication system (LTE-Maritime) on the sea following IMO's proposal for the introduction of e-Navigation. In this paper, vessel trajectory data from AIS and LTE-Maritime were used for vessel trajectory prediction to compare and analyze the two systems. The results show that the trajectory prediction error of LTE-Maritime was smaller than that of AIS due to the granular and uniform data provided by LTE-Maritime. Additionally, it was revealed that time interval is the most important factor influencing the errors in trajectory prediction, with the prediction error of LTE-Maritime growing at a slower rate of 17% than AIS. This research contributes to the literature by quantitatively comparing AIS and LTE-Maritime systems for the first time.

3GPP는 WCDMA의 3세대 이동통신 표준화 이후 HSDPA, MBMS, HSUPA 등의 기술을 지속적으로 추가하여 3세대 이동통신 시스템을 개량해 왔다. 또한 2005년부터는 OFDMA/SC-FDMA 전송방식을 기반으로 하는 LTE 표준화를 진행해 왔다. 현재는 ITU-R의 IMT-Advanced 표준을 위해 LTE를 개선한 LTE-Advanced를 준비하고 있다. LTE-Advanced는 IMT-Advanced 표준의 유력한 후보 중 하나로 사업자들의 폭넓은 지지를 받고 있다. 이에 본 고에서는 3GPP에서 추진하고 있는 LTE 표준 기술과 LTE-Advanced 표준화 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

2011년 7월 초 기준 전 세계적으로 218개의 이동통신사업자들이 LTE(Long Term Evolution) 투자를 진행하고 있으며 24개 사업자들이 상용 LTE 서비스를 제공 중에 있다. 상용 LTE 서비스를 제공하고 있는 통신사업자에 있어 수익원천은 통신요금에 국한되고 있다. 해외의 LTE 요금제는 데이터 전송의 처리량 및 이용제한에 따른 QoS(Quality of Service) 요금 모델이라고 할 수 있다. LTE 서비스를 제공하고 있는 이동통신사들은 서비스 기능이나 품질별로 다양한 계층화된 요금제를 제공하여 사용자들이 선택할 수 있도록 하고 있다. 결국 이러한 요금체계에서는 이동통신사업자들이 LTE의 특성을 가장 잘 반영하고 있는 서비스를 개발해 이용자들이 상위 요금수준을 선택할 수 있도록 하는가가 LTE 활성화의 핵심과제가 되고 있다. 본 고에서는 해외 주요 이동통신사업자의 LTE 서비스 요금제 동향을 분석하고 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper focused on finding a cost-effective LTE mobile network design methodology, suitable for socio-economic circumstances of developing countries. Developing countries have different requirements and circumstances compared with those of developed countries that had deployed LTE networks in advance, thus a differentiated way of design and deployment methods are necessary. This paper analyzed LTE design-related attributes of developing countries, identified relevant technological requirements and appropriate technologies, and suggested design methodologies. These suggestions were verified through the case studies of several developing countries that a Korean telecommunication company (Korean telecom company A) had participated in the LTE design and deployment for future reference by other developing countries.

The proposed antenna has a omni-directional radiation pattern and measured peak gains were 3.21 dBi at the lower band and 4.19 dBi at the upper band, respectively. The proposed antenna is expected to be utilized for future LTE-advanced system.

A conventional TV relay broadcast is a method of transmitting a program by means of a microwave, a leased wire, or a satellite. With the latest advances in LTE network, a relay approach using LTE mobile communications network has become increasingly competing with the traditional TV relay broadcast method. Since 2012, TV Chosun has been using the LTE network for marathon production, and channel A has also broadcast a marathon production broadcast using the LTE network. Therefore in this paper, we investigated the marathon relay method using LTE mobile communications network and compared with the traditional TV marathon relay method, and then suggested the optimum method for the marathon relay.
