Currently, railway wireless communication systems adopt several communication schemes depending on the specific region. To increase data rate and achieve high fidelity in railway wireless communication systems, LTE-R scheme has been developed. In this paper, We introduce interoperability technology which converges several railway communication systems including LTE-R. First, we consider two interoperability methods and their standardization. Some empirical test results of interoperability technology are also introduced. It is expected to provide seamless and statable railway communication environments by applying interoperability technologies to railway wireless communication systems.

This study performs an evaluation, using the economic feasibility analysis method, of the LTE based railway wireless networks (LTE-R) service that is planned to be used for the future railway networks in Korea. Its objectives are using the evaluation results and working to reflect the factors that lead to a maximization of benefits in designing an integrated railway wireless network. This study analyzes the impact of implementing an LTE-R on the railway networks, in contrast to the existing wireless network methods, e.g. VHR and TRS to new rail lines on an economic view. This results found that the benefit cost ratio is greater than 1.0 with a 10% contribution to benefits of the wireless network service in the case study on the Wonju-Gangneung rail line that will start operations in 2018; as a result, an ICT design is desired. For the introduction of an LTE-R service for the Wonju-Gangneung rail line, design specifications need to increase to benefits for each service, which will verify actual contributions and therefore result in an overall economic effect.

The increased demand on the transport of both passengers and goods through rail systems implies higher traffic intensity and congestion on the railways, resulting in greater likelihood of accidents and also degraded passenger services. To cope with the issues, development of an integrated communication network for rails has attracted great deal of attention lately. GSM-R is such an example developed in Europe, which seems to have restrictions in providing various communication services due to network speed limit. For the reason, an LTE-based approach is under study in Korea. After the network development, operation management of the network is necessary. Design of operation management systems has been studied little and thus is the objective of this paper. To do so, a conceptual design has been carried out based on model-based approach. Specifically, a context model has first been created using the use case diagram. Then, SysML models of operational scenarios were developed for the management system. The SysML models have alternatively been expressed as EFFBD models to simulate and verify them. Consequently, the result of the conceptual system design for the operation management of the integrated wireless network is expected to be used as a basis for the detailed design later.

본 논문은 유선통신망의 ATM기술을 무선통신망에 적용한 무선 멀티미디어 액세스 환경에서 패킷에러율 및 처리율등 전송성능을 개선하기 위한 통합에러제어 구조를 제안하였다. 음성, 데이터, 영상 등의 등시성 멀티미디어 트래픽을 처리해야 하는 무선 멀티미디어 네트워크에서는 트래픽별로 QoS(Quality of Service) 목표치가 다르므로 트래픽 속성에 상관없이 일괄적으로 성능개선기법들을 적용하는 것은 또 다른 성능저하 현상을 초래한다. 대표적인 멀티미디어 네트워크인 ATM 네트워크인 경우 트래픽 속성상 CBR(Constant Bit Rate) 및 랜덤트래픽은 지연에 매우 민감하며 VBR(Variable Bit Rate) 트래픽은 어느 정도의 지연은 허용되나 데이터 전송시 매우 높은 신뢰도를 필요로 한다. 이러한 배경에서 ATM을 기반으로 하는 무선 멀티미디어 네트워크 액세스 환경에서 트래픽별 QoS 속성을 만족시킬 수 있는 통합 에러제어 구조를 제시한 후 FEC, ARQ, 인터리빙, 버퍼용량등의 적용방안을 제시하였다.

통합공공용 주파수로 분배된LTE(Long Term Evolution) 718~728Mhz(상향) 및 773~783MHz(하향)에서 재난안전 통신망, 철도무선 통신망, 차세대 해상무선 통신망 등과 같은 LTE기반의 공공통신망(Public Network, 이하 공공망)이 상호 공존하여 사용하는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 두 개 이상의 복수의 LTE 네트워크가 동일 주파수를 사용하여 서비스하는 경우 통신 커버리지가 겹치는 영역에서의 간섭은 불가피하다. 셀 간 간섭에 의하여Mission Critical한 요구사항이 중요시되는 공공망에서의 품질 열화가 야기되며, 경우에 따라 심각한 상황을 초래할 수 있다. 본고에서는 국내 공공망의 현황을 살펴보고 네트워크 공유방식에 대한 기술 및 표준화 동향, 그리고 해외의 사례를 알아보았다. 국내 통합공공용 주파수에서 동일 주파수를 사용하게 될 공공망 간의 간섭을 최소화 하여 네트워크를 구축 및 연계를 위해서 개별 공공망간의 네트워크를 공유하는 방안을 고려하였다. 국내 공공망의 효율적인 네트워크 연계를 위해서는 개별 공공망의 서비스 특성과 내부 환경을 반영 할 수 있는 연계 방식이 추가적으로 필요하다.

The LTE system decided to build an integrated disaster safety communication network in order to cope with disasters quickly after the April 16, 2014 disaster, and 333 agencies in 8 areas will build a unified disaster safety communication network. It plans to integrate LTE-R, a railway integrated wireless network, and LTE-M, a land-based communication network, in the 700MHz band. LTE-R, a wireless integrated network, and the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, are currently using VHF and TRS, which are voice communication-oriented communication systems, in order to cope with demand for high-speed railway service, With this possible LTE-R, it is possible to provide advanced services such as radio-based train control and improve railway safety. The company plans to invest KRW 1.1 trillion in new routes to be launched in 2018 and the existing route to be improved in the future, and to build up all routes of general and high-speed railways to LTE-R by 2027.

This research aims to conduct a study on the feasibility of the LTE communication method for developing a dedicated integrated railway wireless network. An empirical analysis was carried out by establishing a dedicated integrated railway wireless network in an approximately 12km section between Illo station and Daebul station on the Honam line. Korean wireless communication methods for railway safety are different depending on each line, which makes it difficult for railway workers to cooperate with. This causes various problems. There is the ever-present risk of accidents due to call disconnection between wireless communication systems, frequency interference from commercial networks, and crosstalk. This study verified the feasibility of the 4th generation communication system, LTE, over the dedicated integrated railway wireless network as a solution for the above mentioned problems. The result shows this communication system exceeded existing performance standards of Europe GSM-R in every test item despite the location constraint of train tracks on the base station establishment.

최근의 무선통신 시스템은 유지, 보수 및 구축이 유선통신 시스템에 비해 용이하고 이동성을 제공할 수 있다는 장점에 의해, 열차, 차량, 미사일 등의 이동체 제어와 관련된 분야에서의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 열차 또는 차량 제어와 같이 안전성이 중요시되는 분야에 있어서 전파에 의한 무선 링크는 가장 문제가 되는 부분으로서, 일반적으로 통신시스템은 어느 한 경로에서 고장이 발생하더라도 설계시 정해진 일정수준의 기능을 제공하는 생존성(survivability)을 지니도록 설계되어진다. 이와 관련한 연구와 개발은 대부분 공중 전화망과 고속 데이터 통신망을 대상으로 수행되었다. 본 논문에서는 유럽의 차세대 열차제어시스템에 적용하기 위해 기존의 유럽 표준 이동통신 시스템인 GSM(Global System for Mobile Communications)을 철도분야의 특수성에 맞도록 보완한 GSM-R(GSM-Railway)을 사례로 무선통신 시스템의 생존성을 검토한다.
