Abstract

According to the service attributes, D2D communications establish 1-1, or 1-n channels and require the differentiated device discovery technology. This paper proposes a sector-based device discovery mechanism for 1-n D2D communication scenario in LTE-Advanced networks that a disaster happened. Our proposal is a mechanism that can extend the coverage in a disaster situation which a number of devices(survivors) need to be discovered in a short time. In the single cell environment, a larger discovery coverage can be obtained, and in the multi-cell, it is possible to mitigate the interference with adjacent links due to sector-based coverage control. Through a set of simulations, we have confirmed that our proposal has better performance in the number of devices discovered and the interference than the legacy broadcast device discover mechanism.

D2D 통신은 서비스의 속성에 따라 1:1 또는 1:N 통신을 형성하며 디스커버리 기술 또한 서비스의 속성에 따라 차별화되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 재난이 발생한 LTE-Advanced 네트워크에서 1:N D2D 통신을 위한 섹터 기반의 D2D 디스커버리 기술을 제안한다. 섹터 기반의 디스커버리 기술은 빠른 시간 내에 다수의 단말(조난자)을 탐색해야 하는 재난 상황에서 커버리지를 확대할 수 있는 기술이다. 단일 셀 환경에서는 디스커버리 커버리지 확대 효과를 얻을 수 있으며, 다중 셀 환경에서는 섹터 기반의 커버리지 조절로 이웃한 링크와의 간섭 완화 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 성능 분석 결과 디스커버리 커버리지 확대로 다수 단말 탐색이 가능함은 물론 디스커버리 커버리지 조절로 간섭 완화 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.
