Abstract

Due to the advantage of communication coverage extension and removement of shadowing area, relay can be applied in various wireless communication systems. In this paper, we analyze performance of downlink with dual-hop communication systems which use a relay in railway environments. We adopted asymmetric communication system which use coherent modulation scheme in base station-relay link and differential modulation scheme in relay-destination link. The performance of communication system is analyzed using symbol error rate, and performance comparison with the systems which adopts fully coherent scheme is studied. We also investigate the performance of system depending on relay distance and energy allocation.

중계기는 송신기에서 수신기로 신호를 전송할 때 통신반경을 확장시키고 음영지역을 제거시키는 장점 때문에 다양한 무선통신 시스템에서 적용이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 철도환경에서 중계기를 사용하는 듀얼홉 통신시스템을 적용하여 하향링크에서의 성능을 분석한다. 통신방식은 기지국에서 중계기사이에서는 동기변조방식을 사용하고 중계기에서 수신기 사이에서는 차등변조방식을 사용하는 비대칭 전송방식을 적용한다. 시스템의 성능은 심벌오류율을 이용하며 분석하며 전체시스템이 동기방식을 이용하는 시스템과의 성능을 비교한다. 중계기 거리 및 에너지할당에 따른 성능 또한 분석한다.
