현재 우리 군은 다가오는 인구절벽에 대비하기 위해 인공지능(AI) 기반의 과학기술강군 육성을 목표 국방혁신 4.0을 추진중에 있다. 특히 북한의 도발위협이 높아지는 현시점에 우리 군은 첨단기술을 활용한 과학화경계시스템 도입을 통해 병력절감을 도모하고 있다. 하지만 우리 군의 통합 전투능력을 보장하기 위한 핵심 기반통신체계인 전술정보통신체계(TICN)의 경우 전송 대역폭이 좁아 영상정보 송수신이 원활하지 않을뿐더러 보안 및 난청지역 발생 등의 이유로 평시 과학화경계시스템의 기반 네트워크로 활용하기에는 제한적이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문은 2017년부터 국내에서 무료로 활용할 수 있게 된 TVWS 기반의 무선네트워크 구축 기술을 활용해 TVWS 기반 과학화경계시스템 구축방안을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 TVWS 기반 과학화경계시스템의 경우 기존의 유선네트워크 기반의 과학화경계시스템과 비교해 작전공백 최소화, 구축비용 절감, 설치 및 운용의 탄력성 측면에서 다양한 장점을 가진다.

In recent years, the ROK military is promoting Defense Innovation 4.0 with the goal of fostering strong military based on science and technology equipped with artificial intelligence(AI) to prepare for the upcoming population cliff. In particular, at the present time of increased threats of North Korea, the South Korean military is seeking to deal with a decrease in military service resources through the introduction of a Scientific Guard System using advanced technology. TICN which is a core basic communication system to ensure the integrated combat capability of the ROK military is, however, limited to use as a based network for the emerging Scientific Guard System due to the narrow transmission bandwidth with widely spread poor reception area. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes TVWS-based Scientific Guard Systems with TVWS-based wireless network construction technology that has been available for free in Korea since 2017. The TVWS-based Scientific Guard System proposed in this paper, when compared to the existing wired network-based Scientific Guard Systems, has various advantages in terms of minimizing operational gaps, reducing construction costs, and flexibility in installation and operation.

Cognitive radio (CR) technology based on geo-location database access approach and/or wideband spectrum sensing approach is absolutely vital in order to recognize available frequency bands in white spaces (WSs), and efficiently utilize shared spectrums. This paper presents a new structure for the TVWS database access protocol implementation based on Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Protocol to Access WS database (PAWS). A wideband compressive spectrum sensing (WCSS) scheme using a modulated wideband converter is also proposed for the TVWS utilization. The developed database access protocol technology which is adopted in both the TV band device (TVBD) and the TVWS database operates well in the TV frequency bands. The proposed WCSS shows a stable performance in false alarm probability irrespective of noise variance estimation error as well as provides signal detection probabilities greater than 95%. This paper also investigates Federal Communications Commision (FCC) regulatory requirements of TVWS database as well as European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) policy related to TVWS database. A standardized protocol to achieve interoperability among multiple TVBDs and TVWS databases, which is currently prepared in the IETF, is discussed.

This paper is the study in Korea to secure new frequency resources available at sea among terrestrial DTV (Digital TV) broadcasting bands. Focusing on Incheon and Jejudo in the west Sea of Korea, the possibility of using TVWS frequencies of DTV broadcast signals (channels 14-51, 470~698 MHz) was studied. According to the analysis, three channels, channel 19 (503 MHz), channel 37 (611 MHz) and channel 39 (623 MHz) can be used as TVWS available channels without interference with DTV in all nearby seas such as Incheon Port and Jeju Port. On the other hand, two channels, Channel 23 (527 MHz) and Channel 33 (587 MHz), were divided into strong DTV signals in the section between Incheon Port and Jeju Port, making it difficult to use them as available frequencies for TVWS on the west coast.

In this paper, the propagation characteristics for ISM(Industrial Scientific and Medical) and TVWS(TV White Space) in indoor building environment are analyzed in comparison with theoretical and experimental results, the excellent propagation characteristics of the TVWS is confirmed. To this end, signals which have center frequencies of 503 MHz and 2.4 GHz are generated in building propagation environment. Through that, received power strength is measured according to the location and measured path loss is analyzed. Theoretical path loss is calculated using Hata, Extended Hata, Extended Hata SRD, ITU-R P.1238 and reliability for channel model in indoor environment is analyzed.

최근 주요국에서 주파수 자원 개방의 일환으로 TV White Space(TVWS) 관련 정책이 추진되고 있으며, Super-WiFi 및 WRAN을 통한 활용 방안이 중점적으로 논의되고 있다. 이는 이동통신 서비스의 주파수 부족 문제 해소 차원 외에도 비면허 및 저대역 주파수를 사용하는 특성으로 인해 신규 서비스의 등장과 다양한 산업이 개발되고 육성되는 기반이 될 수 있다는 점에서 비(非) 통신계 사업자에게는 큰 기회가 되고 있다. 이에 DB 기반의 TVWS 상용 및 시험 서비스가 가시화됨에 따라 주요국에서 등장하는 TVWS 서비스 현황을 살펴보고, TVWS 서비스의 생태계 분석을 통해 향후 국내 시장환경에 적합한 White Space 서비스 도입 방안제시와 함께 DB 운영 및 이용자 측면에서 바람직한 상용화 정책 방향을 모색하고자 하였다.
