Abstract

This paper proposes a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) based dynamic transmission scheme in a downlink multi-ship network, where a central ship selects a ship in order to maximize the utility function. The proposed scheduling scheme dynamically decides to the usage of the coordinated multi transmissions and selects a user to be served for every frame, in order to the utility function on the basis of the throughput and fairness. In particular, the proposed utilify function based scheduling scheme aims to increase the quality of service of ships at the edge of cells. Under the proportional fair scheduling, the simulation results show that the proposed utility function-based scheduling improves the throughput of the ships at the cell edge with the little sacrifice of the system capacity.

본 논문은 다운링크 다중 선박 네트워크에서 동적으로 협력 전송(CoMP Transmission; Coordinated Multi-point Transmission)을 사용하는 유틸리티 함수를 도출하고 이를 기반으로 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 스케줄링 기법은 수율과 공정성을 고려한 PF 형태의 유틸리티 함수를 최대화하기 위해서 매 프레임 협력적 전송 여부를 결정하고, 유틸리티 함수를 최대화하는 사용자를 선택한다. 특히 제안하는 유틸리티 함수 기반의 스케줄링 기법은 셀 경계 지역에 위치하는 사용자의 서비스 품질을 만족시키는 것을 목적으로 한다. 무선 환경에서 PF(Proportional Fair) 스케줄링을 사용할 때 제안한 유틸리티 함수를 기반으로 하는 스케줄링 기법의 성능을 평가한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안하는 스케줄링 기법은 협력적 통신 네트워크와 비협력적 통신 네트워크를 동적으로 사용함으로써 전체 네트워크의 성능을 유지하면서 가장자리에 있는 선박의 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.
