초록

본 연구에서는 펨토 기지국 (Access Point: AP) 밀도가 높은 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) 기반 펨토셀 네트워크 환경에서 하향링크 시스템 성능 향상을 위한 그래프 컬러링 기반 동적채널할당 (Graph Coloring based Dynamic Channel Assignment: GC-DCA) 방법을 연구한다. 제안하는 GC-DCA는 그래프 컬러링을 이용한 펨토 AP 그룹화 단계와 펨토 사용자 단말 (User Equipment: UE)의 신호 대 잡음비 (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio: SINR)을 고려한 동적채널할당 단계로 구성된다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 평균 펨토 UE 전송률과 펨토 UE 가 요구하는 전송률을 만족하지 못하는 펨토 UE 확률을 분석한 후, 제안하는 GC-DCA 가 다른 채널할당 방법들 보다 우수함을 보인다.

In this paper, we proposed a Dynamic Channel Assignment (DCA) scheme called Graph Coloring based DCA (GC-DCA) to improve system performance for downlink femtocell networks with high density femto Access Point (AP) deployments. The proposed scheme consists of two steps: one is a femto AP grouping step considering interference and the other is a DCA step considering Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) for femto User Equipments (UEs). Simulation results show that the proposed GC-DCA outperforms other schemes in terms of the mean femto UE capacity and probability of femto UEs which have capacities less than a given transmit rate.
