Abstract

Spectrum sharing between wireless systems becomes a critical issue due to emerging new technologies and spectrum shortage. Since WRC-07 allocated 3400-3600MHz band for the coming fourth generation (4G) or IMT-Advanced on a co-primary basis along with existing Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), it requires spectrum sharing studies to solve the interference problems between two systems. In this paper, I propose the separation distance between service coverages as a sharing fundamental criterion based on the interference to noise power ratio (I/N) received in a FWA base station from several IMT-Advanced base stations on the cellular systems. Especially, some results imply that I/N values compared to the worst case can be greatly reduced with MIMO SDMA interference mitigation technique of IMT-Advanced base stations so that these two systems can co-exist in the same frequency with appropriate separation distance.

무선통신시스템간의 주파수 공유는 새로운 기술의 출현 및 스펙트럼 부족으로 인해 중요한 이슈로 되고 있다. WRC-07에서 향후 4세대 이동통신(4G) 또는 IMT-Advanced 시스템을 위해 기존의 고정무선억세스(FWA) 시스템과 co-primary 기반으로 3400-3600MHz 대역을 할당함으로써 동일 주파수 대역에서 두 시스템간의 간섭문제 및 주파수 공유 문제 분석이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 셀룰러 이동통신 시스템에기반한 FWA 및 IMT-Advanced 시스템에서 다수의 기지국들에 의한 간섭 대 잡음전력비(I/N)를 구하여 간섭기준에 의한 최소 서비스 커버리지 분리거리를 파라미터로 두 시스템간의 주파수 공유기준을 제시한다. 특히 최악의 간섭 시나리오에서 비현실적인 서비스 커버리지 분리거리를 IMT-Advanced 기지국에 MIMO SDMA 기술을 적용함으로써 I/N 값을 획기적으로 개선시켜 향후 적절한 분리거리로 두 시스템의 주파수 공유가 가능함을 보인다.
