Dynamic Resource Allocation Scheme for Multiple Antenna OFDM-based Wireless Multicast Systems

요 약최근 차세대 무선 통신 시스템으로 다중 안테나 직교 주파수 다중접속 방식 (OFDM)에서 적응적 자원 할당 기술은 사용자들의 QoS를 보장하며 성능을 개선 할 수 있는 중요한 연구 분야로 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나, 현재까지, 대부분의 자원 할당 알고리즘은 유니캐스트 시스템에 국한되어 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다중 안테나 직교 주파수 다중접속 방식 시스템에서 멀티캐스트 서비스를 위한 동적 자원 할당 기술을 제안하고 이에 대한 전산모의 실험 결과를 통하여 성능 개선 효과를 분석하였다. 실험 분석 결과, 제안하는 동적 자원 할당 기술이 기존의 방식에 비해 우월함을 증명하였다.AbstractMultiple antenna orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising technique for the high downlink-capacity in the next generation wireless systems, in which adaptive resource allocation is an important research issue that can significantly improve the performance with guaranteed QoS for users. However, most of the current resource allocation algorithms are limited to unicast system. In this paper, dynamic resource allocation is studied for multiple antenna OFDM based systems with multicast service. In the simulation, the performance of multicast system was compared with that of the unicast system. Numerical results also show that by using the proposed algorithms the system capacity is significantly improved compared with the conventional scheme.
