Abstract

In this paper, we consider the overlaid system of single frequency network broadcast service and cellular-based unicast data service. In general, broadcast service and unicast data service were considered as a separate services so that different frequency resources have been allocated for each. As the frequency resource get more expensive, however, there were some efforts to provide both the broadcast and unicast service over the same frequency resource by employing the so-called superposition coding. In fact, such an service overlay system has already been accepted as a standards in 3GPP long-term evolution (LTE). In this paper, we specifically investigate such overlay system within 3GPP framework and evaluate their performance in terms of BC coverage and UC data throughput.

본 논문에서는 중첩부호화를 사용하여 단일주파수의 Broadcast(BC) 서비스와 Unicast(UC)데이터 서비스를 하나의 주파수 밴드를 통해 제공하는 BC/UC 오버레이 시스템의 성능을 평가한다. 일반적으로 BC 서비스와 UC 데이터 서비스는 별개의 서비스로 여겨져 왔으며 서비스를 위한 주파수 밴드도 다른게 할당 되어왔다. 그러나 주파수 자원의 희소가치가 높아지면서 최근에는 BC 서비스와 UC 데이터서비스를 "중첩"하여 하나의 주파수 밴드를 통해 서비스를 하고자하는 노력이 있었으며 3GPP LTE에서는 중첩부호화 기반의 방송 및 데이터 서비스 오버레이 시스템을 규격에 반영하기에 이르렀다. 본 논문에서는 특히 UC 데이터 서비스의 수율과 BC 서비스의 커버리지를 지표로 중첩부호화를 사용한 BC/UC 서비스 다중화 방식과 주파수 분할의 BC/UC 서비스 다중화 방안을 비교한다.
