Abstract:
A method for transmitting a signal in a satellite communication system with a terrestrial assistant device is provided to apply space-time coding techniques, thereby improving receiving signal quality of an area where a signal of satellite or terrestrial assistant devices can be received. A core network produces the first symbol index and the second symbol index about the first transmission signal and the second transmission signal(S100). The core network generates the first and second transmission data symbols which are alpha and beta(S120). A space-time code is generated based on the first and second symbol indexes and the first and second transmission data symbols(S130). After the space-time code is transmitted to a satellite, the code is transmitted to a terminal through a terrestrial assistant device or transmitted to the terminal from the satellite.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A reference time information restoring method and a device and a data reception device thereof are provided to maintain stable network synchronization by restoring an exact value by preventing inconsistencies between a transmission time and reception time. CONSTITUTION: A communications unit(100) receives the transmission stream of an external data transmission device. A reception time record unit(110) records the reception time of an initial frame of a plurality of physical layer frames included in the transmission frame. A reception time recognition unit(120) recognizes the reception time of an initial frame corresponding to a physical layer frame including the reference time information of the transmission frame. A restoring unit(130) restores reference time information according to the reception time information of an initial frame of the physical layer frame. A synchronization unit(140) synchronizes with a data transmission device which transmits a transmission frame through the communications unit based on the reference time information. An error correction unit(150) corrects errors in a data transmission process.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for estimating phase error using a variable step size are provided to improve remarkably the astriction-speed and the accuracy of the estimation by forming an outside single estimator using the LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm having the variable step size. CONSTITUTION: An APP mean value production unit(61) produces a posterior probability mean value from the soft-decision result for the current receiving symbol. A step size determination unit(62) determines variably the step size according to the channel condition. A phase error estimated unit(63) estimates the phase error of the current receiving symbol from the phase error and the posterior probability mean value of the previous receiving symbol using the step size which was variably determined. The soft-decision result is the soft decision output information which is generated in the decoding procedure of a turbo decoder.
Abstract:
An NCR packet insertion in satellite communication systems is provided to transmit steadily the NCR(net clock reference) value. The MODCOD having the lowest error rate is selected(102). The NCR value is inserted into the selected MODCOD frame. The MODCOD frame is transmitted to the reception terminal(103). The timer is the reset(104). The time value is increased. The arrival time value of packet is compared with the time value(106). If the time value is smaller than a threshold value(107), the time value is continually increased. If not so, the presence of selected MODCOD is confirmed(110). If there is no the selected MODCOD, the time value is increased.
