Abstract

In this paper, we propose an overload control scheme to resolve an overload problem in a random access channel of cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) communication networks. The M2M applications are characterized by small-sized data intermittently transmitted by a massive number of machines. Due to this characteristics, an overload situation in random access channel (RACH) can happen when a large number of devices try to send a signal via the RACH. To address this overload problem, we propose a scheme in which a base station estimates the total load in the network and controls the load by using a p-persistent method based on the estimated load.

본 논문에서는 셀룰러 기반의 사물 간 통신 네트워크에서의 임의접근채널 과부하 문제를 해결하기 위한 부하제어 기법을 제안한다. 사물 간 통신 단말은 기존 이동통신 단말에 비해 매우 높은 밀도로 분포하며 주로 간헐적으로 짧은 데이터를 전송하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 임의접근 기반으로 기지국에 접속하게 되는데 이 때 다수의 사물 간 통신 단말이 기지국 임의접근 채널에 신호를 전송하는 경우 임의접근 채널에 과부하가 일어날 수 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 기지국이 네트워크의 부하를 측정하고 이를 바탕으로 p-persistent 방식을 이용해 부하를 제어하는 기법을 제안한다.
