초록

본 논문은 IEEE 802.16e 기반의 TDD-OFDMA 하향 링크에서의 수율 공평성 및 서비스 커버리지 보장을 위한, WFS(weighted Fair scheduling) 알고리즘과 TGS(Throughput Guarantee Scheduling) 알고리즘을 제안하고, RR(Round Robin), PF(Proportional Fair), FFTH(Fast Fair Throughput), FTH(Fair Throughput) 스케줄링 알고리즘과의 비교를 통한 성능 분석을 수행하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능은 64 kbps와 128 kbps 의 두 개의 최소 사용자 수율 요구 조건에서의 서비스 커버리지, 유효 섹터 수율, 공평성 평가를 통하여 분석되었다. 상대적으로 낮은 64 kbps 요구 조건에서, 제안된 알고리즘은 lxEV-DV 공평성 기준을 만족시키면서, 기존의 스케줄링 방식들보다 서비스 커버리지 내의 가용 사용자 수를 증가시켰다. 또한 128 kbps 요구 조건에서는 PF 스케줄링 방식에 비하여 유효 섹터 수율의 손실이 거의 없이, 서비스 커버리지를 증가시킬 수 있음을 보였다.

The present paper proposes two different packet scheduling algorithms in the IEEE 802.16e type TDD-OFDMA downlink, which are the weighted fair scheduling(WFS) and the throughput guarantee scheduling(TGS). The performance of proposed scheduling algorithms are compared to some of conventional schedulers such as round robin(RR), proportional fair(PF), fast fair throughput(FFTH), and fair throughput(FH) in terms of service coverage, effective throughput and fairness at 64 kbps and 128 kbps minimum user throughput requirements. For a relatively smaller throughput(64 kbps) requirement, the proposed algorithms provide higher improvement in the number of users per sector within 95$\%$ service coverage while satisfying the lxEV-DV fairness criterion. For a relatively larger throughput(128 kbps) requirement, the proposed algorithms provide higher coverage enhancement while maintaining the same effective aggregate throughput over PF scheduler.
