Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the current status of open coverage of commercial mobile communication networks, which is an indicator for determining whether the disaster safety communication network call area is secured in mountainous areas, with the aim of more stable operation of the disaster safety communication network. Method: We measured the perceived communication quality on forest roads in a large mountainous area in Samcheok City and compared it with the publicly available commercial cellular network coverage data of three telecommunications companies after spatial overlapping, and found that there was a spatial mismatch between the publicly available commercial cellular network coverage and the perceived communication quality measurement results. Result and Conclusion: Therefore, for the stable operation of the disaster safety communication network in mountainous areas, it is necessary to secure additional PS-LTE mobile base stations and take measures to improve the accuracy of publicly available commercial mobile network coverage.

연구목적: 본 연구는 산지 내 재난안전통신망 통화권 확보 여부 판단 지표인 상용 이동통신망의 공개된 커버리지 현황을 분석하여 재난안전통신망(PS-LTE)의 보다 안정적 운용을 목표로 한다. 연구방법: 이를 위해, 삼척시의 대규모 산지 내 산림 도로를 대상으로 체감 통신 품질을 측정하고, 통신 3사의 공개 상용 이동통신망 커버리지 데이터와 공간 중첩 후, 비교한 결과를 공개된 상용 이동통신망의 커버리지와 체감 통신 품질 측정 결과 간 공간적 불일치가 존재함을 파악하였다. 연구결과 및 결론: 따라서, 산지 내 재난안전통신망의 안정적 운용을 위해서는 재난안전통신망(PS-LTE) 이동기지국의 추가 확보 및 공개된 상용 이동통신망 커버리지의 정확도 향상을 위한 대책의 필요성을 확인하였다.
