Multiple antenna techniques employed in fourth generation mobile communication systems are affected on their performance mostly by transmission environments and antenna configurations. The performance of the indoor LTE(Long-term Evolution) MIMO(multiple input multiple output) has been rigorously evaluated with considering various diversity transmission schemes and propagation conditions in the paper. Specifically, MAC TP(medium access control throughput) and LTE system parameters related to the MIMO technique are analyzed for several indoor propagation conditions. The performance comparison between multiple antenna diversity mode and single antenna mode has been derived as well. The results performed in the paper give the guideline on antenna configurations of polarization diversity in LTE 2×2 MIMO for various indoor channel environments, and possibly are exploited by network operators and antenna manufacturers.

보다 높은 기술적 요구사항을 지니는 차세대 통신 시스템의 무선 접속 기술은 직교 다중파 전송 방식(OFDM)과 다중안테나 기술로 특징 지워진다. 현재 전세계적으로 고속 광대역 접속을 위한 이런 핵심 기술들은 IEEE 802.16,20, 3GPP, 3GPP2와 같은 국제 표준단체에서 표준 기술로 보편적으로 고려되고 있다. 다양한 표준 단체에서 경쟁적으로 차세대 이동 통신 표준 시스템을 개발함에도 불구하고, 3GPP LTE(Long Term Evolution) 시스템은 전세계적인 통신 기반환경과 일관된 시스템 진화과정을 고려 할때 가장 주목 받는 시스템으로 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 통신 시스템의 실현 기술에 대한 기술적 정당성과 향후 차세대 통신 시스템의 한축을 이루게 될 3GPP LTE의 표준 동향 및 전망에 대해 알아본다.

3G Long Term Evolution, which aims for various mobile multimedia service provision by enhanced wireless interface, proposes VoIP-based voice service through a Packet Switching (PS) domain. As delay and loss-sensitive VoIP traffic flows through the PS domain, more challenging technical difficulties are expected than in Circuit Switching (CS) domain based VoIP services. Moreover, since 3G LTE, which adopts the OFDM as its physical layer, introduces Physical Resource Block (PRB) as a unit for transmission resources, new types of resource management schemes are needed. This paper proposes a PRB scheduling algorithm of MAC layer for VoIP service in 3G LTE and shows the simulation results. The proposed algorithm has two key parts; dynamic activation of VoIP priority mode to satisfy VoIP QoS requirements and adaptive adjustment of the priority mode duration in order to minimize the degradation of resource utilization.

펨토셀(Femtocell), 가정용 기지국(Home Base Station 혹은 Home e-NodeB) 등 여러 가지 이름으로 불리고 있는 초소형 기지국은 셀룰러 망과 동일한 기술을 이용하여 동일 혹은 인접 주파수 영역에서 서비스를 제공하는 일반 사용자 장비이다. 이미 규격화가 완료되어 서비스 중인 무선 접속기술들은 초소형 기지국을 효과적으로 지원하지 못하고 있는 반면 차세대 무선 통신 기술로 논의가 진행 중인 LTE(Long Term Evolution) 시스템에서는 가정용 초소형 기지국을 논의 처음부터 고려하여 무선 접속 기술 및 시스템을 설계하고 있다. 본 고에서는 현재 LTE 시스템에서 펨토셀을 지원하기 위해 고려 중인 다양한 제안들과 결정 사항들을 알아본다.

본고는 TDD(Time Division Duplex)/FDD(Frequency-Division Duplex) 네트워크 컨버전스를 통해 LTE(Long Term Evolution) 서비스를 제공하고 있는 주요 사업자들의 동향에 대하여 분석 정리하였다. 본고의 분석 결과에 따르면, 상당수 사업자가 보유 주파수 여건을 고려하여 경쟁력을 높이기 위한 목적으로 네트워크 컨버전스를 추진한 것으로 나타났다. 향후 국내에서도 TDD/FDD 컨버전스를 촉진하고 주파수 이용 효율성을 개선하기 위한 정책방안에 대한 모색이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Since the major cellular data service providers in U.S, Japan as well as in Korea started the LTE (Long Term Evolution) service, there has been more strong need for the methods that can accurately measure the MIMO (Multi Input-Multi Outout) OTA (Over The Air) performance of LTE handsets because the performance of the MIMO antenna determines the packet data rates in the downlink and therefore the higher system throughput of the network. In this regard, there has been a lot discussions in 3GPP on the candidate MIMO OTA test solutions. In this paper, a faire comparison has been done for the conventional method, the Envelop Correlation Coefficient (ECC) measurements, and the anechoic chamber based MIMO OTA test solution, one of the candidate system being discussed in 3GPP. The evaluations and the comparisons are conducted by numerically and experimentally.

Recently wireless data services have widely spread on various multimedia devices such as smart phones and tablets. Existing wired data services have been replaced by wireless data services using mobile devices. Especially domestic mobile devices supporting both Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and long term evolution (LTE) services have increased steadily. While Wi-Fi network is provided free of charge, LTE network is offered to pay for. Therefore, mobile devices provide smart network switch to support both preferred Wi-Fi and LTE networks. However, such handover and roaming between Wi-Fi and LTE networks can cause data connection stop in spite of charged data services. This paper has proposed the method to overcome data connection stop for guaranteeing seamless data service during handover and roaming procedures between networks.

In wireless mobile environments, large bandwidth and high QoS (Quality of Service) are recently required to support the increased demands for multimedia services. LTE (Long Term Evolution) is one of the promising solutions for the next generation broadband wireless access systems. To efficiently use downlink resource and effectively support QoS, packet scheduling algorithm is one of the important features in LTE system. In this paper, we proposed DAPS (Delay-Aware Packet Scheduling) algorithm to consider QoS requirements of delays for various traffic classes as well as channel condition and fairness. To reflect delay experiences at scheduling instance, DAPS observes how queue waiting time of packet is closed to maximum allowable delay. The simulation results show that the DAPS algorithm yields better performance for delay experience by increasing the number of transmitted packets with satisfying the required delay time compared with existing scheduling algorithms.

3G Long Term Evolution (3G LTE) is a next generation cellular networks system capable or providing various mobile multimedia services by using OFDMA and MIMO based radio access technology. Among many differences from existing WCDMA based systems, the facts that 3G LTE uses Physical Resource Block (PRB) as its radio resources and provides all services through the PS domain make the development of new resource management schemes necessary. This paper proposes an adaptive partitioning based downlink call admission control scheme. It separates realtime call requests from non-realtime ones, specifies maximum allowable resource amounts for each type, but if the maximum is exceeded, call requests are accepted with probability proportional to remaining resource amounts. Despite the fact that such adaptive concept has been already adopted by other call admission schemes, the contributions of our paper, which are that we are able to find an efficient way to apply the proposed scheme exploiting PRB characteristics and measure the resource usage of base stations by PRB utilization and payload ratio, are still valid. When judging from simulation results in comparison with others, our scheme is able to prioritize realtime call requests over non-realtime ones, and at the same time, overall system performance is superior.

In this paper, we propose the channel estimation scheme for Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) downlink system. The proposed scheme uses the fast fourier transform (FFT) interpolation scheme for the user moving at a high speed. The FFT interpolation scheme converts the channel frequency response obtained from least square (LS) or minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation scheme to time domain channel impulse response by taking the inverse FFT (IFFT). After windowing the channel response in the time domain, we can obtain the channel frequency response by taking the FFT. We perform the system level simulation based on 20MHz bandwidth of 3GPP LTE-A downlink system. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation scheme can improve signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR), throughput, and spectral efficiency of conventional system.
