In railway tunnel environment, the reliability of a high-data-rate and real-time train-to-wayside communication should be maintained especially when high-speed train moves along the track. In China and Europe, the communication frequency around 900 MHz is widely used for railway applications. At this carrier frequency band, both of the solutions based on continuously laid leaky coaxial cable (LCX) and discretely installed base-station antennas (BSAs), are applied in tunnel radio coverage. Many available works have concentrated on the radio-wave propagation in tunnels by different kinds of prediction models. Most of them solve this problem as natural propagation in a relatively large hollow waveguide, by neglecting the transmitting/receiving (Tx/Rx) components. However, within such confined areas like railway tunnels especially loaded with train, the complex communication environment becomes an important factor that would affect the quality of the signal transmission. This paper will apply a full-wave numerical method to this case, for considering the BSA or LCX, train antennas and their interacted environments, such as the locomotive body, overhead line for power supply, locomotive pantograph, steel rails, ballastless track, tunnel walls, etc.. Involving finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and uni-axial anisotropic perfectly matched layer (UPML) technique, the entire wireless RF downlinks of BSA and LCX to tunnel space to train antenna are precisely modeled (so-called integrative modeling technique, IMT). When exciting the BSA and LCX separately, the field distributions of some cross-sections in a rectangular tunnel are presented. It can be found that the influence of the locomotive body and other tunnel environments is very significant. The field coverage on the locomotive roof plane where the train antennas mounted, seems more homogenous when the side-laying position of the BSA or LCX is much higher. Also, much smoother field coverage solution is achieved by choosing LCX for its characteristic of more homogenous electromagnetic wave radiation.

중계기는 송신기에서 수신기로 신호를 전송할 때 통신반경을 확장시키고 음영지역을 제거시키는 장점 때문에 다양한 무선통신 시스템에서 적용이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 철도환경에서 중계기를 사용하는 듀얼홉 통신시스템을 적용하여 하향링크에서의 성능을 분석한다. 통신방식은 기지국에서 중계기사이에서는 동기변조방식을 사용하고 중계기에서 수신기 사이에서는 차등변조방식을 사용하는 비대칭 전송방식을 적용한다. 시스템의 성능은 심벌오류율을 이용하며 분석하며 전체시스템이 동기방식을 이용하는 시스템과의 성능을 비교한다. 중계기 거리 및 에너지할당에 따른 성능 또한 분석한다.

이동통신기반 열차제어 시스템은 열차의 차상장비와 선로변 지상장비간 연동을 유선통신을 이용하지 않고 이동통신을 활용하여 열차의 운행을 제어한다. 기존 열차제어는 열차의 점유 정보, 열차 무결성 정보 그리고 이동권한을 유선통신 기반의 고정 폐색 방식 기반으로 운영하고 있다. 최근 들어 철도 영역에서 이동 통신 시스템을 도입함에 따라 향상된 승객 서비스를 제공할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 비효율적 차상과 지상 설비를 무선통신으로 대체함에 따라 높은 경제적 혜택을 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 각국에서 현재 운용중인 이동통신 기반 열차제어 시스템을 소개하고 각 시스템에서 사용하고 있는 무선 통신 방식의 특징과 운영 현황에 대해서 설명한다. 또한 무선 통신 시스템의 최소 성능 요구사항 연구를 통하여 열차 제어 신호가 무선망을 통하여 더욱 안전하고 효율적으로 전달될 수 있는 방안을 제시한다.

The study for ubiquitous computing infra is proceeding actively, it make possible to use service and access network anywhere, anytime because of wire/wireless communication technology and progress of hardware. Domestically, study for the network mobility support technology which is the key technology for future ubiquitous computing realization have progressed, but that is insufficient. Especially, there is no study for independent mobility support study about railway wireless network. So, this study propose network mobility management technology for mobile network infra in railway and proper network model in train.

Overhead contact systems (OCS) consist of contact and messenger wires, in which the contact wire supplies electric energy to the railway vehicle by contacting a pantograph. However, this mechanical contact is interrupted during frosts or temperatures below $0^{\circ}C$ in the winter. In these conditions, railway vehicle accidents can occur during operation because of the low energy efficiency that results from the increase in the arcing between the contact wire and pantograph. Therefore, the detection of frost or freezing temperatures is necessary to maintain the stable operation of these trains. In this study, we proposed the development of a frost or freezing condition monitoring system on the OCSs that utilizes wireless communication.

A mesh node, a component of a mesh network, is connected with the network by dynamic routing using routing protocol and collects the information of adjacent or connected mesh nodes for its self-management and settings. Also, it relays packets between the mesh nodes and provides AP(Access Point) with its corresponding functions based on IEEE 802.11 a/b/g for clients' access to the network. In this paper, the study focused on the design and performance tests of Wireless Mesh Network(WMN) which is applied to the wireless communication network for the CBTC(Communications Based Train Control) system. The WMN was established on a K-AGT test-line (Kyeongsan city, Gyeongsangbuk-do), and to verify the applicability, its operation and performances are checked by measuring the data throughput, delay latency, quality measurements such as transmission loss, radio interference and path recovery and setup between the on-board and wayside.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and improve the communication interferences in the wireless communication equipments of the CBTC applied to a model intelligence train control system. So far, train positions have been traced by the conventional fixed blocking system to control the operation of the trains, but the new CBTC system uses the on-ground location to transmit the train positions wirelessly to the ground control center continuously, so being more vulnerable to communication interferences. Although the researcher analyzed and improved such interferences in the communication equipments of the CBTC system, there remain more rooms for its improvement.

This study is concerned with the design of the communication based evaluation simulator for the development of the operational control algorithm for PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system which has very short headway and requires accurate speed control of the vehicles to avoid the impact between the vehicles. The evaluation simulator is composed of central control system, vehicle control system, communication control system, AP for wireless communication, and monitoring system. For the mobile characteristics of the PRT vehicles wireless communication is employed for the transmission of the control and status information between the central control system and the vehicle control system. By using simple test operational control algorithm the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation simulator is shown.
