Abstract

Along with increasing of its subscribers and traffic for high-speed LTE service, it is widely expected to bring about the 2nd data explosion and results in any inconvenience of users. This paper proposes a smart traffic management scheme and its system design based on user's participating with the mobile application, in order to provide a fast and stable service for end users as well as to resolve the network overhead with increasing traffic. By making use of a time shift by users who want to reduce data usage amount and communication cost, the proposed scheme tries to reduce the peak traffic by shifting the delay-tolerant services, such as file sharing and software download, into the other time line. It also reduces the high volumed video traffics by transforming them into a user customized one. In addition, we suggest a mechanism to select video size and service time, then proposes an overall system design and its user service scenarios.

고속 서비스를 제공해주는 LTE가 상용화됨에 따라 가입자와 트래픽이 증가하여 2차 데이터 폭발 및 사용자 불편이 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 트래픽 증가로 인한 네트워크 부하를 해결하면서도 사용자에게 빠르고 안정적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 모바일 앱을 통한 사용자 참여 기반의 스마트 트래픽 관리 방안과 시스템 설계를 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 데이터 사용량과 통신 요금에 절약 욕구가 있는 사용자가 타임 쉬프트를 통하여 파일 공유, SW다운로드와 같은 지연 가능 서비스를 다른 시간대로 이동시켜 피크 트래픽을 줄이고, 비디오 사이즈를 사용자 맞춤형으로 변환하여 대용량 비디오 트래픽을 줄이는 방법이다. 또한 사용자가 주체가 되어 서비스 이용 시간과 비디오 사이즈를 선택할 수 있는 방안과 시스템 설계 및 사용자 시나리오를 제시한다.
