Abstract

LTE-R(Long Term Evolution-Railway) for high speed railway system operation as an essential technology is based on LTE. Recently, moving speed of high speed train is on going to 600[km/h] level over commercial speed 400[㎞/h]. LTE-R as communication technology for a high speed railway system can be able to provide seamless communication to support moving speed for high speed railway system. In this study, a handover method based on prediction is suggested and performance of the suggested method is evaluated. Computer simulation based on NS(Network Simulator)-3 is used for this study.

LTE-R(: Long Term Evolution-Railway)은 고속열차시스템 운영을 위한 필수 기술로서 LTE를 기반으로 한다. 고속열차 이동속도는 상용인 400[㎞/h] 급을 넘어 최근에는 600[km/h] 급으로 향하고 있다. 고속열차 시스템 통신기술로서 LTE-R은 열차의 이동속도에 적합한 끊김없는 통신을 제공해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위한 LTE-R 핸드오버 기술로서 예측기반 핸드오버를 제시하고 그 성능을 분석한다. 본 논문은 NS(:Network SImulator)-3에 기반한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 수행한다.
