Abstract

As the application fields using various types of communication, including the Internet of Things, have emerged, the form of communication has been diversified. Some applications require fast feedback and the others continue to send data regardless of whether it is received or not. Transmitting data in one way can be acknowledged by the opposite direction response. These information exchanges form a two-way communication. For applications that need to issue commands remotely, such as network control systems, it is important to give a fast response because the sender decides the next action based on the response from the recipient. In this paper, we propose the base station (BS) cooperation to improve the latency performance of the two-way communication in cellular networks. We design the two-way communication strategy utilizing cooperating BSs with the same direction of traffic as well as bidirectional traffic. We show that the proposed scheme improves the latency performance than the previous works.

사물인터넷을 비롯한 다양한 형태의 통신을 활용한 응용분야가 생겨남에 따라 통신의 형태가 다양해지고 있다. 어떠한 응용은 빠른 피드백을 요구하기도 하고, 다른 응용은 수신여부와는 상관없이 데이터를 계속 보내기도 한다. 한 방향으로 데이터를 전송하는 것은 반대 방향 응답에 의해 확인될 수 있다. 이러한 정보 교환은 양방향 통신을 형성한다. 송신자는 수신자의 응답에 따라 다음 동작을 결정하므로 빠른 응답을 제공하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 셀룰러 네트워크에서 양방향 통신의 전송지연 성능을 향상시키기 위한 기지국 협력 전송 기법을 제안한다. 양방향 트래픽뿐만 아니라 동일한 방향의 트래픽을 가진 협력 기지국을 활용하는 양방향 통신 기법을 고안하였다. 제안한 방식을 통하여 지연 시간 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.
