The Korean mobile service market has persistently grown with the number of subscribers and volume of mobile traffic. It shows the slow diffusion of 5G subscribers, and rapid growth of both the MVNO(Mobile Virtual Network Operator) market and unlocked mobile phones. Therefore, this study derives the direction of telcos' strategies and policy implications by empirically analyzing the usage and attitude of LTE and 5G subscribers. Our major findings are as follows: First, our current mobile service subscription market constitutes most long-term customers for their incumbent carriers only by device change from lock-in with bundle services. Mobile tariffs, data speed, and benefits of bundle services are important factors affecting choices and customers' satisfaction with a provider and intentions of churning to another. Second, demand and satisfaction for using 5G are less because speeds and service tariffs act as pain points for 5G services. Third, the users' high preferences for MVNOs and unlocked mobile phones are linked to their subscription to MVNOs' low-cost plans with unlocked mobile phones on online channels. These streams lead to a big change in the market competition that MNO(Mobile Network Operator)s' market shares are expected to decrease and MVNOs' shares will be increased by two times, in the near future. Therefore, MNOs need to change their distribution strategies from offline to online channels and try to resolve the stereotype, "mobile tariffs are expensive," by enhancing their service values. Finally, as consumers prefer one-stop service in the same channel regardless of the distribution channel, policies should focus on the consumers' needs for convenience rather than on the channel separation for perfectly unlocked mobile phones.

우리는 5G 시대를 눈앞에 두고 있다. 5G는 더 빠른 것뿐만이 아니라, 더 저렴한 데이터 서비스를 제공하게 된다. 하지만 4G는 이동 통신망이 모바일 단말 간의 통신에 최적화된 망 구조였다면, 5G는 서로 다른 속성을 갖는 다양한 대상에게 서비스를 제공해주어야 한다. 이 환경에서 스마트폰을 기반으로 한 모바일 통신은 5G 통신망의 비주류 통신영역이 되며, 전체적인 할당량 또한 줄어들 것이다. 이때 통신망의 제약으로 인해 통화장애가 발생한다면 이를 효과적으로 관리하여 통화자체가 끊어지지 않도록 유지할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 VoIP를 기반으로 한 통화 트래픽 제어 전략을 제시한다. 5G의 빠른 속도와 VoIP의 음성코덱 제어를 통해 순간 통화 연결시도가 늘어 트래픽의 한계상황에서도 서비스가 끊어지지 않고 유지될 것이다.

Current disaster alert broadcasting based on mobile communication systems targets personal mobile terminals such as smartphones. However, smart cities require IoT-based services such as smart homes and offices. Therefore, when severe disasters such as earthquakes occur, smart cities must quickly perform appropriate control and respond to buildings and factories. For this, a disaster warning broadcasting technique for IoT terminals for smart cities is required. In this paper, we propose a disaster alert transmission method based on 4G/5G mobile communication for IoT terminals for smart cities. The proposed method effectively utilizes the image display method for CBS, a cell-based broadcasting service, and shows the superiority of the proposed approach through simulation.

The advent of 5G mobile communications, which is expected in 2020, will provide many services such as Internet of Things (IoT) and vehicle-to-infra/vehicle/nomadic (V2X) communication. There are many requirements to realizing these services: reduced latency, high data rate and reliability, and real-time service. In particular, a high level of reliability and delay sensitivity with an increased data rate are very important for M2M, IoT, and Factory 4.0. Around the world, 5G standardization organizations have considered these services and grouped them to finally derive the technical requirements and service scenarios. The first scenario is broadcast services that use a high data rate for multiple cases of sporting events or emergencies. The second scenario is as support for e-Health, car reliability, etc.; the third scenario is related to VR games with delay sensitivity and real-time techniques. Recently, these groups have been forming agreements on the requirements for such scenarios and the target level. Various techniques are being studied to satisfy such requirements and are being discussed in the context of software-defined networking (SDN) as the next-generation network architecture. SDN is being used to standardize ONF and basically refers to a structure that separates signals for the control plane from the packets for the data plane. One of the best examples for low latency and high reliability is an intelligent traffic system (ITS) using V2X. Because a car passes a small cell of the 5G network very rapidly, the messages to be delivered in the event of an emergency have to be transported in a very short time. This is a typical example requiring high delay sensitivity. 5G has to support a high reliability and delay sensitivity requirements for V2X in the field of traffic control. For these reasons, V2X is a major application of critical delay. V2X (vehicle-to-infra/vehicle/nomadic) represents all types of communication methods applicable to road and vehicles. It refers to a connected or networked vehicle. V2X can be divided into three kinds of communications. First is the communication between a vehicle and infrastructure (vehicle-to-infrastructure; V2I). Second is the communication between a vehicle and another vehicle (vehicle-to-vehicle; V2V). Third is the communication between a vehicle and mobile equipment (vehicle-to-nomadic devices; V2N). This will be added in the future in various fields. Because the SDN structure is under consideration as the next-generation network architecture, the SDN architecture is significant. However, the centralized architecture of SDN can be considered as an unfavorable structure for delay-sensitive services because a centralized architecture is needed to communicate with many nodes and provide processing power. Therefore, in the case of emergency V2X communications, delay-related control functions require a tree supporting structure. For such a scenario, the architecture of the network processing the vehicle information is a major variable affecting delay. Because it is difficult to meet the desired level of delay sensitivity with a typical fully centralized SDN structure, research on the optimal size of an SDN for processing information is needed. This study examined the SDN architecture considering the V2X emergency delay requirements of a 5G network in the worst-case scenario and performed a system-level simulation on the speed of the car, radius, and cell tier to derive a range of cells for information transfer in SDN network. In the simulation, because 5G provides a sufficiently high data rate, the information for neighboring vehicle support to the car was assumed to be without errors. Furthermore, the 5G small cell was assumed to have a cell radius of 50-100 m, and the maximum speed of the vehicle was considered to be 30-200 km/h in order to examine the network architecture to minimize the delay.

이동통신에서는 무선자원의 효율적인 사용을 위하여 variable rate vocoder 및 VoX 기법을 이용한 음성 전송이 일반적 추세이며, 버스티 특성을 갖는 패킷 트래픽의 경우 statistical multiplexing을 이용하여 무선 채널의 사용을 극대화 시킨다. 트래픽 밀도를 나타내는 Erlang 용량은 일정속도의 회선교환 트래픽에 대하여 동시에 점유할 수 있는 dedicated circuit의 수에 기초하는 개념이므로 statistical multiplexing으로 처리되는 데이터 패킷의 트래픽 밀도는 queuing model에 근거한 데이터 스루풋이 현실적이다. 그러나 이동통신 시스템에서 트래픽 특성을 달리하는 circuit 및 패킷 타입의 혼합 서비스가 동시에 제공될 경우 네트워크 planning을 위한 구성 시스템의 용량산정을 위해 트래픽 밀도의 통합적인 표현을 요구한다. 따라서 Erlang 용량과 데이터 스루풋의 상호 변환을 통하여 네트워크 구성요소의 용량 산정에 적당한 용량표현을 선택할 수 있다. 본 고에서는 트래픽 처리기로서의 통신시스템을 기술하기 위하여 일반적인 텔레트래픽 시스템 모델과 파라미터를 정의한다. 또한 음성 및 비음성 서비스의 혼합 트래픽 환경에서 트래픽 밀도계산을 위한 Erlang 용량과 데이터 스루풋의 상호 변환 관계를 소개한다. 마지막으로 3G1x 무선접속환경에서 음성 및 HSPD 서비스가 공존할 경우 기지국 CE dimensioning에 필요한 혼합 트래픽 Erlang 용량 산출 방법을 기술한다.

One of evaluation indicators of candidate waveforms for 5G mobile communication is spectral efficiency improvement by OOB(Out of Band) power reduction technique. In this paper, time-frequency resource allocation characteristic of UFMC(Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier), FBMC(Filter Bank Multi-Carrier), and W-OFDM(Weighted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is evaluated and analyzed. As simulation results, spectral efficiency characteristic of these systems have been improved according to time resource allocation. In this paper, we can confirm that each system has similar time-frequency efficiency characteristic when the number of transmission bit is same and four symbols are transmitted with the linear system condition. Also, we can conclude that FBMC system has the lowest time-frequency resource efficiency under the nonlinear condition.
