Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technologies provide additional dimensions of freedom with spectral and spatial resources for radio resource management. Multi-dimensional radio resource management has recently been identified to exploit the full dimensions of freedom for more flexible and efficient utilization of scarce radio spectrum while provide diverse quality of service (QoS) guarantees. In this work, a multi-dimensional radio resource scheduling scheme is proposed to achieve above goals in hybrid orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and space division multiple access (SDMA) systems. Cochannel interference (CCI) introduced by frequency reuse under SDMA is eliminated by frequency division and time division between highly interfered users. This scheme maximizes system throughput subjected to the minimum data rate guarantee. for heterogeneous users and transmit power constraint. By numerical examples, system throughput and fairness superiority of the our scheduling scheme are verified.

Nowadays, an explosive increase of mobile devices has triggered a lot of research into radio resource management. Therefore, many studies have been done and still underway to use this limited resource efficiently. However, most of the existing studies focused on efficiency in mac layer. In this paper, I proposed a timer to manage radio resource, which refreshes the timer's values based on the number of connections dynamically. This dynamic timer enables Base Station (BS) to be able to manage available radio resources efficiently and accommodate much more Mobile Stations (MSs). Simulation result showed that BS with dynamic timer could accommodate the MS about 30% more, compared with BS with a static timer in terms of radio resource management. Dynamic timer is not restricted to any specific network standard. So its mechanism is practical and implementable without changing the original standard, which can contribute to service providers by increasing capability that BS can support.

본 연구는 SC-FDMA(Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access) 접속기술을 사용하는 LTE(Long Term Evolution) 상향링크의 성능을 최대화하기 위한 무선자원관리(radio resource management) 기법을 제안한다. 셀간의 상호작용을 고려해야하는 다중셀(multi-cell) 시스템을 대상으로 하여 단일셀 대상의 기존 SC-FDMA관련 연구와는 차별화된다. 본 연구는 무선자원관리를 무선자원 계획단계(planning phase)와 운용단계(operation phase)로 구분하여 정의한다. 계획단계는 마스터 eBN(evolved-NodeB)가 소속된 eNB에 연속적인 무선자원(RB; radio bearer)를 배정하기 위한 것이고 운용단계는 eNB가 마스터 eBN로부터 배정받은 RB를 단말기에 할당하기 위한 것이다. 두 단계에 대하여 각각 최적화 문제를 모형화하고 각 모형에 대한 탐색적 해법을 제시한다. 제시하는 해법은 인접해중에서 목적함수 개선치가 가장 높은 방향으로 이동하는 일반적인 형태를 띄고 있다. 다수의 실험결과를 통하여 두 알고리즘의 성능과 특징을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 다중셀 SC-FDMA 시스템을 대상으로 효율적인 무선자원 관리 기법을 개발하기 위한 연구에 선구자적인 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

GPRS is designed for transmitting packet data and supposed to take its radio resource form the pool of channels unused by GSM voice services. In this paper, The GPRS and GSM circuit switched services share the same radio resource. Whenever a channel is not used by circuit switched services, it may be utilized by GPRS. In this paper, the main aim is performance and comparison resource management policies with channel de-allocation in GPRS network. Three resource management policies is voice priority, R-reservation, dynamic reservation.

Multicast and Broadcast Service (MBS) provides flexible and efficient transmission of the same information to multiple users using shared radio resources on WiBro network. The advantage of this service is to achieve the most efficient use of radio and network resources as well as to lessen sender's processing load when sending the same information to multiple users. Though radio resources are saved since a multicast or broadcast transport connection is associated with a service flow, it is hard to change MBS service channel dynamically. In this paper, we propose a Radio Resource Management System (RRMS) for supporting dynamic scheduling of MBS service channels. Results show that our proposed scheme using Radio Resource Allocation Table (RRAT) can efficiently support MBS services by providing dynamic schedule for MBS service channels.

다양한 무선 기술이 증가함에 따라 이기종 네트워크 환경은 여려 우선 기술들이 중첩 되어 공존하는 환경으로 변화되고 있다. 이렇게 혼재하여 공존하는 여러 우선 네트워크들의 효율적인 관리를 위해 통합자원관리 방안(Common Radio Resource Management: CRRM)이 제안되었다. 통합자원관리 방안은 중첩되어 존재하는 다양한 이기종 네트워크들의 자원을 하나의 자원과 같이 통합적으로 관리하는 방안이다. 다양한 네트워크가 중첩되어 존재하고 네트워크에 따른 우선 서비스의 종류도 증가함에 따라 CRRM에서 다양한 네트워크들의 통합적인 자원관리를 위해서는 고려해야 할 사항이 더욱 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 고려요소를 바탕으로 최적의 선택을 결정하는 다기준 의사 기법의 하나인 Analytical Network Process (ANP)를 사용해 통합자원관리 방안을 제안하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 우선 환경에서 널리 사용되고 있는 Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC)를 고려하여 채널 상태 (channel condition) 에 따라 할당되는 대역폭 모델을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션에서는 자원관리시에 고려될 수 있는 다양한 요소를 적용하여 고려하는 요소에 따라 최적의 자원관리가 적용됨을 확인하였다.

Improving resource utilization has been a hot issue in heterogeneous wireless networks (HWNs). This paper proposes a radio resource management (RRM) method based on access proportion optimization. By considering two or more wireless networks in overlapping regions, users in these regions must select one of the networks to access when they engage in calls. Hence, the proportion of service arrival rate that accesses each network in the overlapping region can be treated as an optimized factor for the performance analysis of HWNs. Moreover, this study considers user mobility as an important factor that affects the performance of HWNs, and it is reflected by the handoff rate. The objective of this study is to maximize the total throughput of HWNs by choosing the most appropriate factors. The total throughput of HWNs can be derived on the basis of a Markov model, which is determined by the handoff rate analysis and distribution of service arrival rate in each network. The objective problem can actually be expressed as an optimization problem. Considering the convexity of the objective function, the optimization problem can be solved using the subgradient approach. Finally, an RRM optimization scheme for HWNs is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively enhance the throughput of HWNs, i.e., improve the radio resource utilization.

With the explosivley increasing demand in wireless telecommunication service, the shortage of radio spectrum has been worsen. The traditional approach of the current fixed spectrum allocation leads to spectrum underutilization. Recently, CR (Cognitive Radio) technologies are proposed to enhance the spectrum utilization by allocating dynamically radio resources to CR Networks. In this study, we consider a radio resource(power, subcarrier) allocation problem for OFDMA-based CRN in which a base station supports a variety of CUs (CRN Users) while avoiding the radio interference to PRN (Primary Radio Network). The problem is mathematically formulated as a general 0-1 IP problem. The optimal solution method for the IP problem requires an unrealistic execution time due to its complexity. Therefore, we propose an heuristic that gives an approximate solution within a reasonable execution time.

Increasing convergence among heterogeneous radio networks is expected to be a key feature of future ubiquitous services. The convergence of radio networks in combination with dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA) could be a beneficial means to solve the growing demand for radio spectrum. DSA might enhance the spectrum utilization of involved radio networks to comply with user requirements for high-quality multimedia services. This paper proposes a simple spectrum allocation algorithm and presents an analytical model of dynamic spectrum resource allocation between two networks using a 4-D Markov chain. We argue that there may exist a break-even point for choosing whether or not to adopt DSA in a system. We point out certain circumstances where DSA is not a viable alternative. We also discuss the performance of DSA against the degree of resource sharing using the proposed analytical model and simulations. The presented analytical model is not restricted to DSA, and can be applied to a general resource sharing study.

This paper focuses on a distributed multiple spectrum pricing scheme to maximize system capacity in next generation multiaccess systems, where multimode user equipments (MUEs) can connect simultaneously to multiple base stations (BSs) with multiple radio access technologies (RATs). The multi-price based scheme provides a distributed decision making for an optimal solution where radio resource allocations are determined by each MUE, unlike most centralized mechanisms where BS controls the whole radio resource. By the proposed optimal solution, MUEs can decide their share of spectrum bands and power allocation according to the spectrum price of each RAT, and at the same time the multiaccess system can achieve maximized total throughput. Numerical analysis shows that the proposed scheme achieves the maximal capacity by distributed resource allocation for the multiaccess system.
