주파수 자원 가치는 무선통신의 발전과 함께 더욱 커지고 있다. 하지만 앞으로 정보화 사회에서는 주파수 자원의 수요가 공급에 비하여 매우 많기 때문에 주파수 부족 현상이 심각하게 대두된다. 따라서 사용되지 않고 있는 주파수 자원을 효율적으로 이용하기 위한 기술로서 최근 각광을 받고 있는 Cognitive Radio 기술이 필요한 시점이다. 본 논문에서는 CR 기반의IEEE 802.22 WRAN 환경에서 효율적인 Dynamic Spectrum Allocation 기법을 제안한다. Spectrum을 좀 더 효율적으로 공유하기 위해 Variable bandwidth, Mobility의 변수를 적용한 Dynamic Spectrum Allocation 기법을 제시하고 시뮬레이션 결과들을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

현행 5G 특화망 이용절차는 신청, 심사, 이용, 이용 점검의 단계를 거치며 주파수 할당 전 절차로 신청, 심사단계, 주파수 할당 후 절차로 이용, 이용점검 단계로 구분할 수 있다. 5G 특화망 신청을 위해서는 여러 종류의 서류 제출이 필요하며, 서류 심사 과정과 5G 특화망 주파수 이용을 위한 무선국 검사로 인해 5G 특화망 신청 사업자가 실질적으로 특화망을 사용하기까지의 절차가 복잡하고, 상당한 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 현행 프로세스보다 신속하고, 간소화된 5G 특화망 주파수 할당을 위해 블록체인 플랫폼을 사용한 5G 특화망 주파수 할당 프로세스를 제안하였다. 블록체인 플랫폼과 NFT(Non-Fungible Token) 활용을 통해 주파수 할당 과정에서 필요한 데이터의 신뢰성과 무결성을 확보하였고, 주파수 이용 정보의 보안 유지와 신뢰 가능한 5G 특화망 주파수 할당 프로세스를 구축하였다. 또한 사람의 개입을 최소화하는 RPA 시스템을 적용하여 5G 특화망 할당 과정에서의 공정성을 확보하였다. 마지막으로 모의실험을 통하여 이더리움 블록체인 기반의 5G 특화망 주파수 할당 프로세스를 수행하였다.

본 연구는 700MHz 대역 주파수 분배안 확정과 관련하여 지상파 방송과 이동통신 분야에서 주장하는 바에 대하여 소비자들이 그 효과를 얼마나 인식하고 있으며, 어느 분야에 분배하는 것을 더 지지하고 있는가를 살펴보았다. 연구 결과 첫째, 소비자들은 700MHz대역 주파수를 방송분야와 이동통신분야 각각에 대해 분배하는 것이 긍정적 효과와 부정적 효과가 모두 있다고 인식하고 있었다. 둘째, 700MHz대역 주파수 분배안 정책에 대한 소비자의 지지도를 살펴본 결과 방송과 이동통신 두 분야 모두에 분배해야 한다고 응답한 비율이 43%로 가장 높아 정부의 700MHz 주파수 분배정책은 소비자 측면에서 볼 때 바람직하게 분배되었다고 볼 수 있었다. 이 연구는 700MHz대역 주파수 분배정책과 관련하여 방송과 이동통신의 특정 분야의 입장에 치우치지 않고 중도적인 입장에서 소비자의 인식을 조사한 것에 연구의 의의가 있다.

This paper deals with subcarrier allocation strategies for soft hand-over in OFDMA-based cellular systems. Two possible subcarrier allocation methods are considered for soft hand-over. One method is to use an identical subcarrier set between the two cells participating in the hand-over. The other is to use different subcarrier sets between the two cells. As expected, the different subcarrier strategy is better in terms of diversity order and BER than the identical subcarrier strategy. It will be shown that the BER performance difference between the two strategies is more noticeable with contiguous subcarrier allocation. But the different subcarrier strategy consumes twice more frequency resources than the other, and there is a trade-off between the two strategies in terms of BER and frequency resources. By considering the trade-off, we also propose a subcarrier allocation strategy for soft hand-over.

Femtocells provide high quality indoor communications with low transmit power. However, when femtocells are applied in cellular systems, a co-channel interference problem between macrocells and femtocells occurs because femtocells use the same spectrum as do the macrocells. To solve the co-channel interference problem, a previous study suggested a resource allocation scheme in LTE cellular systems using FFR. However, this conventional resource allocation scheme still has interference problems between macrocells and femtocells near the boundary of the sub-areas. In this paper, we define an optimization problem for resource allocation to femtocells and propose a femtocell resource allocation scheme to solve the optimization problem and the interference problems of the conventional scheme. The evaluation of the proposed scheme is conducted by System Level Simulation while varying the simulation environments. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is superior to the conventional scheme and that it improves the overall performance of cellular systems.

Recently, preparations for 6G have led to the increasing interest in integrated or hybrid communication networks considering low-orbit satellite communication networks with terrestrial mobile communication networks. In addition, the demand for frequency allocation for new mobile services from low-orbit small satellites to provide global internet of things (IoT) services is increasing. The operation of such satellites and terrestrial mobile communication networks may inevitably cause interference in adjacent bands and the same band frequency between satellites and terrestrial systems. Focusing on the results of the recent ITU-R WP4C meeting, this study introduces the current status of frequency sharing and interference issues between satellites and terrestrial systems, and frequency allocation issues for new mobile satellite operations. Coexistence and compatibility studies with terrestrial IMT in L band and 2.6 GHz band, operated by Inmassat and India, respectively, and a new frequency allocation study (WRC-23 AI 1.18) are carried out to reflect satellite IoT demand. For the L band, technical requirements have been developed for emission from IMT devices at 1,492 MHz to 1,518 MHz to bands above 1,518 MHz. Related studies in the 2 GHz and 2.6 GHz bands are not discussed due to lack of contributions at the recent meeting. In particular, concerning the WRC-23 agenda 1.18 study on the new frequency allocation method of narrowband mobile satellite work in the Region 1 candidate band 2,010 MHz to 2,025 MHz, Region 2 candidate bands 1,695 MHz to 1,710 MHz, 3,300 MHz to 3,315 MHz, and 3,385 MHz to 3,400 MHz, ITU-R results show no new frequency allocation to narrow mobile satellite services. Given the expected various collaborations between satellites and the terrestrial component are in the future, interference issues between terrestrial IMT and mobile satellite services are similarly expected to continuously increase. Therefore, participation in related studies at ITU-R WP4C and active response to protect terrestrial IMT are necessary to protect domestic radio resources and secure additional frequencies reflecting satellite service use plans.

Downlink transmit power allocation schemes are proposed for soft fractional frequency reuse (FFR) in loose and tightly coordinated systems. The transmit powers are allocated so that the loss of spectral efficiency from the soft FFR is minimized, and the required cell edge user throughput is guaranteed. The effect of the soft FFR on spectral efficiency is evaluated depending on the power allocation schemes and the number of subbands. Results show that the loss of spectral efficiency from the soft FFR can be reduced by configuring an appropriate number of subbands in the loosely coordinated systems. In tightly coordinated systems, results show that the loss of spectral efficiency can be minimized regardless of the number of subbands due to its fast coordination.

A decode-and-forward two-way relay system benefits from orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and relay transmission. In this paper, we consider a decode-and-forward two-way relay system over OFDMwith two strategies: A joint subcarrier matching algorithm and a power allocation algorithm operating with a total power constraint for all subcarriers. The two strategies are studied based on average capacity using numerical analysis by uniformly allocating power constraints for each subcarrier matching group. An optimal subcarrier matching algorithm is proposed to match subcarriers in order of channel power gain for both transmission sides. Power allocation is defined based on equally distributing the capacity of each hop in each matching group. Afterward, a modified water-filling algorithm is also considered to allocate the power among all matching groups in order to increase the overall capacity of the network. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are completed to confirm the numerical results and show the advantages of the joint subcarrier matching, power allocation and water filling algorithms, respectively.

This study deals with the adaptive multiuser OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system which adjusts the resource allocation according to the environmental changes in such as wireless and quality of service required by users. The resource allocation includes subcarrier assignment to users, modulation method and power used for subcarriers. We first develop a general optimization model which maximizes data throughput while satisfying data rates required by users and total power constraints. Based on the property that this problem has the 0 duality gap, we apply the subgradient dual optimization method which obtains the solution of the dual problem by iteration of simple calculations. Extensive experiments with realistic data have shown that the subgradient dual method is applicable to the real world system, and can be used as a dynamic resource allocation mechanism.
