  • 본 논문에서는 펨토셀을 채택한 셀룰러 통신망에서 매크로셀 사용자를 보호하기 위한 새로운 분산식 펨토셀 전송전력 제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서, 인근의 펨토셀로부터 심한 간섭을 받는 매크로셀 사용자는 그 사실을 매크로셀 기지국을 통해 해당 펨토셀 기지국에게 알린다. 펨토셀 기지국은 전송전력을 감소시켜 매크로셀 사용자를 보호한다. 제안된 기법은 매크로셀 기지국, 매크로셀 사용자 및 펨토셀 기지국 간에 교환해야 할 제어 정보가 많지 않고, 펨토셀 기지국의 계산량이 적어서 구현이 용이한 장점을 가진다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면, 제안된 기법은 그 단순함에도 불구하고 최소한의 펨토셀 사용자의 성능 열화를 대가로 탁월한 매크로셀 성능 향상을 달성한다.

  • 본 논문에서는 co-channel deployment 방식을 사용하는 closed access 펨토셀 주변에서 마크로셀 단말의 동기소실 문제를 해결하고 펨토셀의 전력 누수 때문에 발생하는 셀 탐색을 줄이기 위하여 CS(Common Signal)을 사용한 펨토셀 탐색 기법을 제안한다. CS는 특정 마크로셀 내의 펨토셀들이 같은 시간에 공통으로 전송하는 신호로, 펨토셀이 CS를 송신할 경우 마크로셀 내에서 마크로셀 기지국의 CINR(Carrier to Interference Noise and Ratio) 값이 크게 유지되어 closed access 펨토셀 주변에서 마크로셀 단말이 동기를 유지할 수 있다. 또한, CS는 단말이 CS를 사용하여 측정한 CSCINR(Common Signal Carrier to Interference Noise and Ratio) 값을 이용하여 펨토셀 존재 여부를 판단할 수 있도록 설계되므로, 마크로셀 단말은 마크로셀 기지국에 동기를 유지하면서 펨토셀 존재여부를 판단할 수 있다. 그리고 제안된 방식에서는 옥외에서 이동 중인 단말이 자신의 이동성을 이용하여 펨토셀 탐색 여부를 판단함으로써 단말의 펨토셀 탐색 빈도를 줄인다. 따라서 펨토셀 탐색에 대한 부담을 줄이고, 이에 대한 부가적 이득으로 핸드오버 시도의 빈도 감소를 기대할 수 있다.

  • Artificial cracks were made in the cover concrete of specimens embedding ten types of steel rebars of different Cr contents. The research aims for developing Cr-bearing steel rebars resistant to macrocell corrosion environments induced by cracking in cover concrete. The cracks were subjected to intensive penetration of carbon dioxide (carbonation specimens) to form macrocells. The carbonation specimens were then treated with accelerated corrosion curing, during which current macrocell corrosion density was measured. The corrosion area and loss from corrosion were also measured at the end of 105 cycles of this accelerated curing. The results of the study showed that Cr-bearing steel with Cr content of 5% or more suppressed corrosion in a macrocell corrosion environment induced by the differences in the pH values due to carbonation of cracked parts. Cr-bearing steels with Cr content of 7% or more are proven to possess excellent corrosion resistance.

  • The ability to seamlessly switch between the macro networks and femtocell networks is a key driver for femtocell network deployment. The handover procedures for the integrated femtocell/macrocell networks differ from the existing handovers. Some modifications of existing network and protocol architecture for the integration of femtocell networks with the existing macrocell networks are also essential. These modifications change the signal flow for handover procedures due to different 2-tier cell (macrocell and femtocell) environment. The handover between two networks should be performed with minimum signaling. A frequent and unnecessary handover is another problem for hierarchical femtocell/macrocell network environment that must be minimized. This work studies the details mobility management schemes for small and medium scale femtocell network deployment. To do that, firstly we present two different network architectures for small scale and medium scale WCDMA femtocell deployment. The details handover call flow for these two network architectures and CAC scheme to minimize the unnecessary handovers are proposed for the integrated femtocell/macrocell networks. The numerical analysis for the proposed M/M/N/N queuing scheme and the simulation results of the proposed CAC scheme demonstrate the handover call control performances for femtocell environment.

  • 피복 콘크리트의 균열 발생에 기인한 매크로셀 부식 환경하에서의 Cr강방식철근의 방식성을 평가하기 위하여 10종류의 Cr강방식철근을 콘크리트에 매입 후 피복 콘크리트에 모사 균열을 발생시킨 공시체를 제작하였다. 그 후 염수 분무 촉진 양생 105사이클까지의 매크로셀 부식전류밀도의 경시변화와 아노드 캐소드 철근의 자연전위, 부식면적률, 부식감량률을 측정함으로써 Cr강방식철근의 방식성에 대하여 검토하였다. 그 결과, 염화물 이온 농도차 $3kg/m^3$ 이하의 매크로셀 부식 환경에 대하여 Cr함유율 9% 이상의 Cr강재에서 방식성이 확인되었으며 특히, Cr함유율 11% 이상의 Cr강재에서 뛰어난 방식성이 입증되었다.

  • The reverse link of a spectrally overlaid macrocell/microcell cellular CDMA system supporting multimedia traffic is characterized in terms of the required signal power, interference, and capacity. Several narrowband subsystems are overlaid with a wideband subsystem in macrocells, while a single wideband subsystem is operated in a microcell with the same spectrum as the macrocell wideband subsystem. Using a typical propagation model the reverse link signal power and interference are characterized as the relative user signal power and the cross-tier interference factors between the macrocell and the microcell. The reverse link capacity of the overlay system is then analyzed. Analytical results show that the dominant parameters affecting the system performance are the spectral overlay ratio and the distance between the microcell and macrocell base stations. In particular, when the distance equals a half of macrocell radius, optimum performance can be achieved by minimizing the cross-tier interference factors. These results can be applied to CDMA multimedia network planning in heavily populated traffic areas.

  • In this paper, we analyze the traffic characteristics in microcell and macrocell overlaid PCS system which process voice and dta calls separately each others. in this system, data calls are delayed in queue when all of channels are occupied, while voice calls are bolcked in that case. For this, we calculated inter-microcell handoff area dwelling time distribution and handoff area dwelling time distribution between microcell and macrocell. We analyze traffic performance using this results. We used M/M/C/K model, and analyzed traffic performance of macrocell with handoff area variation of microcell.

  • The heterogeneous LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced networks comprising a macrocell and femtocells can provide an efficient solution not only to extend macrocell coverage but also to deal with packet traffics increasing explosively within macrocells. An efficient resource management scheme is necessary to maintain the QoS (Quality of Service) of mobile multimedia services because the LTE-Advanced system should support not only voice but also mobile applications such as data, image and video. This paper proposes a resource management scheme to guarantee QoS continuity of multimedia services and to maximize the resource utilization in OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) based LTE-Advanced systems. This scheme divides the resources into several service blocks and allocates those resources based on the competition between macrocell and femtocell. Simulation results show that it provides better performances than the conventional one in respect of handover failure rate and blocking rate.

  • In this paper, a new distributed resource allocation algorithm is proposed to alleviate the cross-tier interference for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access macrocell and femtocell overlay. Specifically, the resource allocation problem is modeled as a non-cooperative game. Based on game theory, we propose an iterative algorithm between subchannel and power allocation called distributed resource allocation which requires no coordination among the two-hierarchy networks. Finally, a macrocell link quality protection process is proposed to guarantee the macrocell UE's quality of service to avoid severe cross-tier interference from femtocells. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve remarkable performance gains as compared to the pure waterfilling algorithm.

  • Co-channel interference between macro-femtocell networks is an unresolved problem, due to the frequency reuse phenomenon. To mitigate such interference, a secondary femtocell must acquire channel-state knowledge about a co-channel macrocell user and accordingly condition the maximum transmit power of femtocell user. This paper proposes a pilot-based spectrum sensing (PSS) algorithm for overlaid femtocell networks to sense the presence of a macrocell user over a channel of interest. The PSS algorithm senses the pilot tones in the received signal through the power level and the correlation metric comparisons between the received signal and the local reference pilots. On ensuring the existence of a co-channel macrocell user, the maximum transmit power of the corresponding femtocell user is optimized so as to avoid interference. Time and frequency offsets are carefully handled in our proposal. Simulation results show that the PSS algorithm outperforms existing sensing techniques, even at poor received signal quality. It requires less sensing time and provides better detection probability over existing techniques.
