Abstract

In this paper, we propose efficient uplink data transmission method in ultra dense wireless networks as in intra-aircraft, where large-scale APs and wireless sensors are deployed. In the ultra dense wireless networks, a performance degradation is inevitable due to the inter-AP interference. However, the performance degradation can be avoided if a scheduling algorithm can estimate the amount of interference caused by each wireless sensor and reflects it. SGIR (Signal-to-Generating Interference Ratio) based scheduling algorithms is a typical example. Unfortunately, the scheduling algorithms based on the interference caused by wireless sensors necessarily yield large scale exchange of information through backhaul which connects APs. Therefore, we, in this paper, propose a novel scheme which can dramatically reduce the amount of information which are exchanged through backhaul connection. Monte-Carlo simulation results show that the proposed scheme can reduce the amount of backhaul traffic by 27% without loss of data transmission rate.

본 논문에서는 항공기처럼 초밀집 지역에 무수히 많은 AP와 무선 센서들이 존재하는 초밀집 무선 네트워크에서 백홀 트래픽 감소를 위한 효율적인 데이터 전송 방법을 제안한다. 초밀집 무선 네트워크에서는 인접 AP들간의 간섭으로 인한 성능 저하가 필수적으로 동반된다. 그러나, 각 무선 센서들이 인접 AP들에 야기하는 간섭 의 양을 측정하여 스케쥴링 알고리즘에 반영할 경우 이러한 성능 저하를 방지할 수 있다. 신호 대 발생 간섭 비(Signal-to-Generating Interference Ratio, SGIR) 기반 스케쥴링 알고리즘이 대표적인 예이다. 그러나, 이러한 알고리즘들은 각 무선 센서들이 야기하는 간섭의 양을 측정하기 위하여 백홀을 통한 중앙의 네트워크 매니저로의 대규모 정보 교환이 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 각 AP들에서 중앙의 네트워크 매니저로 전송하는 정보의 양을 획기적으로 감소시킬 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션결과, 기존 방식 대비 전송률의 감소 없이 백홀 트래픽을 약 27% 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
