Abstract:
A method for determining the validity of received data in a wireless communication channel and an apparatus therefor are provided to calculate the power of a noise signal using a sufficiently long PN(Pseudo Noise) code and determine the validity of measured data automatically on the basis of the calculated power, thereby processing the data measured in a fast broadband wireless communication channel measuring system quickly and efficiently. A method for determining the validity of received data in a wireless communication channel comprises the following steps of: acquiring the maximum power of the received data on the basis of correlation of data received in the wireless communication channel(401); determining a section where there is only a noise signal except the received data on a checked PDP(Power Delay Profile) according to the correlation(402); acquiring the representative power of the noise signal on the basis of the power values of the determined section(404); and determining that the data is valid data when a difference between the maximum power of the received data and the representative power of the noise signal is greater than a set reference value(406,408).
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for controlling a transmission of an uplink sounding signal in an OFDMA/FDD communication system are provided to improve a data transmission rate and a proportional fairness of a proportional fair scheduler by transmitting a sounding signal to terminals based on the proportional fairness. An apparatus for controlling a transmission of an uplink sounding signal in an OFDMA/FDD communication system includes a data sub-band number determination unit(410), and a sounding sub-band number determination unit(420). The data sub-band determination unit determines the number of data sub-bands to be used in a transmission of a data signal through an uplink frame based on a channel gain of each of terminals. The sounding sub-band determination unit determines the number of sounding sub-bands to be used in a sounding signal transmission through the uplink frame in proportion to the number of sub-bands to be used in terminals.
Abstract:
An iterative receiver and a method for detecting transmitted signal thereof are provided to increase the receiving performance of signals transmitted from a transmitter. An iterative receiver(100) includes an antenna array(110), a signal detector(120), a decoder(130), a soft decision unit(140), a channel estimator(150), a covariance estimator(160), and a hard decision unit(170). The antenna array includes plural receiving antennas, and receives a signal from a transmitter and transmits the signal to the signal detector. The signal detector cancels an interference signal from the received signal and suppresses the residual interference signal through an MMSE(Minimum Mean Squared Error) filter to detect and output a signal corresponding to a plurality of transmitted signals. The decoder calculates an LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio) by using the output signal of the signal detector, performs a channel decoding process by using the calculated LLR, and outputs a resultant signal. The soft decision unit performs a soft decision process on plural transmitted signals by using the channel decoded signal output by the decoder. The channel estimator estimates the channel, through which the transmitted signals have passed, by using the transmitted signals from the soft decision unit and a received signal. The covariance estimator estimates the covariance on the summed signal of interference and noise by using the transmitted signals from the soft decision unit, channel information from the channel estimator, and the received signal. The hard decision unit determines a plurality of transmitted signals by using the signal output by the decoder after the signal detector, the decoder, the soft decision unit, the channel estimator, and the covariance estimator are iterated a predetermined number of times.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for transmitting/receiving a pilot signal of a wireless communication system are provided to support at least two channels in an SC-FDMA system simultaneously by maintaining frequency resolution of a frequency area. An apparatus for transmitting a pilot signal of a wireless communication system comprises a digital Fourier transformer(213), a pilot signal generator(220), a time division multiplexer(218), and a symbol and sub-carrier mapping unit(214). The digital Fourier transformer performs a digital Fourier transform for a data signal. The pilot signal generator generates a pilot signal shifted for a predetermined interval in a frequency area. The time division multiplexer performs time division multiplexing for the pilot signal and the transformed data signal and transmits the time division multiplexed signal through an antenna. The symbol and sub-carrier mapping unit determines a sub-carrier transmitting the pilot signal and the data signal and maps the data signal to the determined sub-carrier.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for obtaining a timing synchronization signal in a radio channel measurement system are provided to measure a radio channel in a dead zone by generating phase-synchronized timing synchronization signals in respective timing modules. A timing synchronization acquiring apparatus includes a synchronous clock generator(101), a clock counter(103), and a reset button(115). Timing modules are arranged in transmitter and receiver systems for measuring radio channels using multiple antennas. The synchronous clock generator receives an external clock, synchronizes phases of the external clock with an internal clock, and outputs a synchronized external clock. The clock counter counts the clock from the synchronous clock generator according to a predetermined counter value, and generates a timing synchronization signal. The reset button resets the clock counter according to a reset signal and commences a timing process.
Abstract:
An iterative reception method and an iterative receiver are provided to improve a reception performance by obtaining an accurate channel estimated value by iteratively updating the channel estimated value. An iterative receiver receives signals iteratively transmitted from a plurality of cells, and a channel estimator outputs a channel estimated value obtained by using pilot symbols of the reception signals(S100). If the number of iterative receptions is not a first sequence(S110), an inter-cell parallel interference canceler reduces an inter-cell interference of the reception signal by using spread value of hard decision values of the other remaining cell signals(second cell signals) than its pertinent cell signal, namely, the first cell signal, and outputs the same(S120). An equalizer performs channel equalization corresponding to each subcarrier on the inter-cell interference-reduced signal by using the channel estimated value, and the orthogonality of the corresponding signal is restored and outputted(S130). The orthogonality-restored signal is despread by a despreader and outputted(S140). The despread signal is inputted to a hard decision unit and used to calculate a hard decision value obtained by making a hard decision on a user symbol of the pertinent cell(S150). The hard decision value is re-spread by a hard decision spreader(S160).

An H-ARQ(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) supporting method for cooperation transmission is provided to reduce an overhead of responsive information by selecting previously a transmitter for retransmission. A transmission error determination process is performed to receive a transmission error by receiving a data packet from at least one transmitter included in a cooperation group(S201,S202). A selection process is performed to select a retransmission group including at least one transmitter included in the cooperation group when the transmission error is determined(S205). A retransmission request according to the transmission error and responsive information corresponding to the retransmission transformer are transmitted to the cooperation group(S207).
