코그니티브 라디오(cognitive radio) 기술 중 같은 지역에서 코그니티브 사용자와 우선사용자가 주파수를 공유하여 사용하는 방법은 단위 지역 당 주파수 사용효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 중요한 기술로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 코그니티브 라디오 시스템이 우선사용자에게 간섭을 미치지 않으며 동일 지역에서 우선사용자와 주파수를 공유할 수 있는 직교 빔 형성 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 우선사용자의 채널상태정보(channel state information)로부터 얻어진 부공간에 직교하는 코그니티브 라디오 사용자를 위한 부공간을 형성함으로써 우선사용자에게 간섭을 주지 않으며 주파수를 공유할 수 있는 코그니티브 라디오 사용자를 위한 다중 빔을 생성한다. 그러고, 코그니티브 라디오 시스템의 합 용량을 증가시키기 위해 기회적 무선자원할당 기법을 적용하였다. 전산모의 실험을 통해 제안된 주파수 공유 방법이 우선사용자에게 간섭을 주지 않음을 보였고 코그니티브 라디오 기지국이 2개의 안테나를 사용할 경우 시스템 합용량이 일반 셀룰라 시스템의 빔 포밍을 적용한 결과와 유사하게 사용자 20명에서 최대 2.72bps/Hz를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Developing an interactive satellite multi­media system, such as a digital video broadcasting (DVB) return channel via satellite (RCS) system, is gaining popularity over the world To accommodate the increasing traffic demand we are motivated to investigate an alternative for improving return channel utilization We develop an efficient method for optimal packet scheduling in an interactive satellite multimedia system using hybrid CDMA/TDMA channels. We formulate the timeslot-code assignment problem as a binary integer programming (BIP) problem, where the throughput maximization is the objective, and decompose this BIP problem into two sub-problems for the purpose of solution efficiency. With this decomposition, we promote the computational efficiency in finding the optimal solution of the original BIP problem Since 2001, ETRI has been involved in a development project where we have successfully completed an initial system integration test on broadband mobile Internet access via Ku-band channels using the proposed resource allocation algorithm.

This paper proposes an efficient interference control scheme for vehicular moving networks. The features of the proposed scheme are as follows: radio resources are separated into two resource groups to avoid interference between the cellular and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) links; V2V links are able to share the same radio resources for an improvement in the resource efficiency; and vehicles can adaptively adjust their transmission power according to the interference among the V2V links (based on the distributed power control (DPC) scheme derived using the network utility maximization method). The DPC scheme, which is the main feature of the proposed scheme, can improve both the reliability and data rate of a V2V link. Simulation results show that the DPC scheme improves the average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of V2V links by more than 4 dB, and the sum data rate of the V2V links by 15% and 137% compared with conventional schemes.

Recently, Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) with Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) scheme is introduced into Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) systems to improve digital services for User Equipments (UEs), especially for cell-edge UEs. However, Radio Resource Management (RRM), including Resource Block (RB) scheduling and Power Allocation (PA), in this scenario becomes challenging, due to the intercell cooperation. In this paper, we investigate the RRM problem for downlink transmission of HetNet system with Joint Processing (JP) CoMP (both joint transmission and dynamic cell selection schemes), aiming at maximizing weighted sum data rate under the constraints of both transmission power and backhaul capacity. First, joint RB scheduling and PA problem is formulated as a constrained Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) which is NP-hard. To simplify the formulation problem, we decompose it into two problems of RB scheduling and PA. For RB scheduling, we propose an algorithm with less computational complexity to achieve a suboptimal solution. Then, according to the obtained scheduling results, we present an iterative Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) method to solve the PA problem. Extensive simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithms. Two kinds of JP CoMP schemes are compared with a non-CoMP greedy scheme (max capacity scheme). Simulation results prove that the CoMP schemes with the proposed RRM algorithms dramatically enhance data rate of cell-edge UEs, thereby improving UEs' fairness of data rate. Also, it is shown that the proposed PA algorithms can decrease power consumption of transmission antennas without loss of transmission performance.

무선통신망에서 예측기법을 이용하는 경우는 대부분 사용자호가 요구하는 자원의 크기를 예측하여 미리 요구자원을 예약함으로써 사용자호가 요구하는 품질을 보장한다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 무선인지통신망에서 면허사용자가 사용하지 않는 스펙트럼홀(spectrum hole)자원의 크기를 예측하여 대여사용자의 스펙트럼 핸드오프호의 서비스 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 채널할당방법을 제안한다. 스펙트럼홀의 예측은 위너예측모델을 이용한다. 채널할당 방법은 대여사용자호를 초기 발생호와 스펙트럼 핸드오프호로 구분하고, 예측된 스펙트럼홀 자원의 일정부분을 예약하여 스펙트럼 핸드오프호에 우선적으로 할당한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 기법이 스펙트럼홀 예측을 사용하지 않는 방법보다 대여사용자의 스펙트럼 핸드오프호의 서비스 품질을 향상(50% 예약시 평균 11% 개선)시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

As 5G mobile systems carry multiple services and applications, numerous user, and application types with varying quality of service requirements inside a single physical network infrastructure are the primary problem in constructing 5G networks. Radio Access Network (RAN) slicing is introduced as a way to solve these challenges. This research focuses on optimizing RAN slices within a singular physical cell for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) UEs, highlighting the importance of adept resource management and allocation for the evolving landscape of 5G services. We put forth two unique strategies: one being offline network slicing, also referred to as standard network slicing, and the other being Online reinforcement learning (RL) network slicing. Both strategies aim to maximize network efficiency by gathering network model characteristics and augmenting radio resources for eMBB and V2X UEs. When compared to traditional network slicing, RL network slicing shows greater performance in the allocation and utilization of UE resources. These steps are taken to adapt to fluctuating traffic loads using RL strategies, with the ultimate objective of bolstering the efficiency of generic 5G services.

Radio spectrum is a precious resource and characterized by fixed allocation policy. However, a large portion of the allocated radio spectrum is underutilized. Conversely, the rapid development of ubiquitous wireless technologies increases the demand for radio spectrum. Cognitive Radio (CR) methodologies have been introduced as a promising approach in detecting the white spaces, allowing the unlicensed users to use the licensed spectrum thus realizing Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) in an effective manner. This paper proposes a generalized framework for DSA between the licensed (primary) and unlicensed (secondary) users based on Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC) model. We present a spectrum access scheme in the presence of sensing errors based on CTMC which aims to attain optimum spectrum access probabilities for the secondary users. The primary user occupancy is identified by spectrum sensing algorithms and the sensing errors are captured in the form of false alarm and mis-detection. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed spectrum access scheme in terms of the throughput attained by the secondary users, throughput optimization using optimum access probabilities, probability of interference with increasing number of secondary users. The efficacy of the algorithm is analyzed for both imperfect spectrum sensing and perfect spectrum sensing.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks is a promising add-on component for future radio communication systems. It provides more access opportunities for local device pairs and enhances system throughput (ST), especially when mobile relays (MR) are further enabled to facilitate D2D links when the channel condition of their desired links is unfavorable. However, mutual interference is inevitable due to spectral reuse, and moreover, selecting a suitable transmission mode to benefit the correlated resource allocation (RA) is another difficult problem. We aim to optimize ST of the hybrid system via joint consideration of mode selection (MS) and RA, which includes admission control (AC), power control (PC), channel assignment (CA) and relay selection (RS). However, the original problem is generally NP-hard; therefore, we decompose it into two parts where a hierarchical structure exists: (i) PC is mode-dependent, but its optimality can be perfectly addressed for any given mode with additional AC design to achieve individual quality-of-service requirements. (ii) Based on that optimality, the joint design of MS, CA and RS can be viewed from the graph perspective and transferred into the maximum weighted independent set problem, which is then approximated by our greedy algorithm in polynomial-time. Thanks to the numerical results, we elucidate the efficacy of our mechanism and observe a resulting gain in MR-aided D2D communication.

최근 이동 통신 네트워크는 2G에서 3G로 이동하고 있으며 주파수의 효율성을 추구하고자 한다. 인지 무선 통신(Cognitive radio) 기술은 secondary 네트워크와 primary 네트워크의 공존을 허용함으로써 주파수의 효율성을 달성할 수 있는 기술로 떠오르고 있다. 하지만, primary 네트워크의 주파수 재사용율을 고려하지 않는 기존 인지무선 통신 방식은 primary 네트워크와 secondary 네트워크를 포함한 전체 네트워크의 성능을 저하시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 secondary 네트워크가 primary 네트워크의 파일럿 신호를 감지하여 최적의 가용 주파수를 선택하는 복잡도가 낮은 방식을 제안한다. 그리고, primary 네트워크의 간섭을 최소화하는 제약조건을 가지면서 업링크와 다운링크의 용량을 최대화하는 최적화 문제를 고려한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안방법과 기존방법의 성능을 비교하였으며, 제안방법이 기존방법보다 primary 네트워크의 주파수 재사용율이 작고 채널 사용 변화가 심할 때 특히 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

TD-SCDMA is considered as an innovative Chinese 3G technology adopted by the ITU for the IMT-2000 family. TD-SCDMA combines TDMA and CDMA components to provide more efficient use of radio resources. However, the downlink scheduler of TD-SCDMA should transmit data packets with the initial configuration and cannot change the configuration dynamically. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an enhanced channel allocation, by which mobile terminals can share the downlink channelization codes dynamically.
