TV 방송 대역(white space) 내의 인접채널 간 WLAN과 WiBro 단말의 공존 가능성 파악을 위한 핵심 지표들을 얻기 위해 간섭분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 두 시스템의 각각에 해당하는 방사 및 블로킹 마스크, 안테나 높이 및 이득, 전송 전력 및 대역폭, 송수신 링크에 대한 채널모델 등 다양한 전송 파라미터를 적용하였다. 또한 이를 기반으로 인접채널에서 동작 가능한 사용자의 허용가능 전송 전력 및 서비스 단말 개수, 보호대역 변화에 따른 성능에 대해 분석을 수행하였다. 도심 환경을 고려하기 위하여 간섭원인 WLAN과 피간섭원인 WiBro 단말 부분에 각각 Extended Hata SRD, Extended Hata 모델을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 인접채널에서 각 단말이 어떻게 공존할 수 있는지를 확인할 수 있었다.

Frequency reuse among relay stations (RSs) in a down-link access zone is widely adopted for throughput enhancement in IEEE 802.16j relay networks. Since the areas covered by the RSs or the base station (BS) may overlap, some mobile stations (MSs) at the border between two neighboring transmitting stations (RS or BS) using an identical frequency band may suffer severe interference or outage. This co-channel interference within the cell degrades the quality of service (QoS) fairness among the MSs as well as the system throughput. Exclusive use of a frequency band division (orthogonal resource allocation) among RSs can solve this problem but would cause degradation of the system throughput. We observe a trade-off between system throughput and QoS fairness in the previously reported schemes based on frequency reuse. In this paper, we propose a new frequency reuse scheme that achieves high system throughput with a high fairness level in QoS, positioning our scheme far above the trade-off curve formed by previous schemes. We claim that our scheme is beneficial for applications in which a high QoS level is required even for the MSs at the border. Exploiting the features of a directional antenna in the BS, we create a new zone in the frame structure. In the new zone, the RSs can serve the subordinate MSs at the border and prone to interference. In a 3-RS topology, where the RSs are located at points $120^{\circ}$ apart from one another, the throughput and Jain fairness index are 10.64 Mbps and 0.62, respectively. On the other hand, the throughput for the previously reported overlapped and orthogonal allocation schemes is 8.22 Mbps (fairness: 0.48) and 3.99 Mbps (fairness: 0.80), respectively. For a 6-RS topology, our scheme achieves a throughput of 18.38 Mbps with a fairness of 0.68; however, previous schemes with frequency reuse factors of 1, 2, 3, and 6 achieve a throughput of 15.24 Mbps (fairness: 0.53), 12.42 Mbps (fairness: 0.71),8.84 Mbps (fairness: 0.88), and 4.57 Mbps (fairness: 0.88), respectively.
