Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for inserting/removing a protection block of an OFDM communication system are provided to enhance the performance of time synchronization by inserting pilot data streams. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for inserting/removing a protection block of an OFDM communication system includes a protection block insertion unit(530) and a selection unit(590). The protection block insertion unit(530) copies block data of predetermined positions from received data streams and inserts the copied block data into a predetermined protection block of the received data streams. The selection unit(590) inputs selectively output data streams of the protection block insertion unit and particular words having a non-periodical autocorrelation characteristic and outputs OFDM symbols. The OFDM symbols are formed by inserting the particular words into the output data streams. The apparatus for inserting/removing the protection block of the OFDM communication system further includes a buffer(570) for storing the particular words and a control unit(580) for controlling a selective input operation of the selection unit(590).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for allocating an adaptive pilot carrier in an OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access) system are provided to reduce a phase error by changing adaptively pilot carriers allocated to a sub channel. CONSTITUTION: A method for allocating an adaptive pilot carrier in an OFDMA system includes a decision process, the first allocation process, and the second allocation process. The decision process is to decide a state a sub channel by measuring a bit error rate of the received pilot carriers through the sub channel(401). The first allocation process is to increase the number of predetermined pilot carriers and allocate the increased pilot carriers to the sub channel when the sub channel is in the good state(403,404,408). The second allocation process is to reduce the number of predetermined pilot carriers and allocate the reduced pilot carriers to the sub channel when the sub channel is in the bad state(405,406,408).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for assigning different ranging code sets between a cell and a neighboring cell in an OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) wireless communication system is provided to differentiate ranging codes used every neighboring cell, in order to easily know whether ranging signals belong to terminals included in a self cell, thereby preventing deterioration of a ranging success probability. CONSTITUTION: A base station transmits ranging information to all mobile terminals of a cell(310). The base station receives ranging signals from the mobile terminals corresponding to the ranging information through assigned sub channels(312). The base station decides whether ranging processes in accordance with the ranging signals are proper to ranging standards(314). If so, the base station decides whether ranging codes proper to the ranging standards exist within a self ranging code set(316). If so, the base station transmits ranging response signals to the mobile terminals(318). The base station decides whether time for transmitting system information comes(320). If not, the base station completes the process.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A ranging interval and ranging sub channel allocation method for initial ranging of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) system is provided, which reduces ICI(Inter-Channel Interference) between ranging signals in a TDD mode OFDMA wireless communication system. CONSTITUTION: According to the method for allocating ranging interval for initial ranging with a subscriber station in a base station of a multi user orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) wireless communication system, a receiving interval of an initial ranging signal is determined by reflecting maximum delay predicted while transmitting and receiving data with the subscriber station. System information required in the initial ranging including the determined receiving interval are broadcasted to all subscriber stations in a cell through a broadcasting channel. And the initial ranging signal from the subscriber stations is received in correspondence to the system information as to all symbols received from the subscriber stations in the determined receiving interval.
