초록

60 GHz 대역과 낮은 (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) 주파수 대역을 모두 사용하는 다중대역 WLAN은 송수신 단말이 충분히 가까우면 60 GHz 대역을 사용하여 Gbps 속도로 통신을 하고 단말 간의 거리가 멀면 낮은 주파수 대역에서 동작하여, 어떠한 경우에도 최적의 전송속도를 제공할 수 있다. 다중대역 WLAN의 효율적 운용을 위해서는 WLAN의 동작대역을 적절히 변경하는 대역이동 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 대역이동 결정 기법을 설계한다. 또한 대역이동 프로토콜을 실제 구현할 때 필요한 제어프레임의 전송속도 선택 방법도 함께 제안한다. NS-3를 사용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 인적 차폐(human blockage) 또는 로그노말 전파음영(log-normal shadowing)이 발생하는 환경에서 제안된 기법의 성능을 평가한다.

The multi-band wireless local area network (WLAN) using 60 GHz band and the lower band (typically 2.4 GHz/5 GHz band) can support the very high data rate in short-distance communication using 60 GHz band and the long-distance communication using the lower band. For heightening the efficiency of multi-band WLAN, an band selection scheme is a necessity. In this paper, we propose an effective frequency band selection scheme for multi-band WLANs. By using computer simulation with NS-3, we show the performance of the proposed schemes when the stations suffer from the human blockage and the log-normal shadowing.
