Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus in which an automatic identification system (AIS) accesses a radio channel. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: selecting a slot on which a packet is to be transmitted on at least one radio channel; temporarily sending a first carrier, which notifies other AISs that the selected slot has been selected by the AIS, on the selected slot in transmission mode; and detecting a second carrier transmitted by another device on the selected slot in reception mode after temporarily sending the first carrier. In accordance with the present invention, the AIS temporarily sends a first carrier, which notifies other AISs that a selected slot has been selected by the AIS, on the selected slot prior to the detection of a second carrier, and another AIS accessing the same slot detects the first carrier temporarily transmitted. Accordingly, a collision between channels can be avoided.

Abstract:
A channel estimation method of an OFDM system and a channel estimator are provided to correct an instantaneous spread pilot signal power by using a Kalman filter before interpolating a frequency response without a spread pilot. A data rearranging unit(100) rearranges input OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) data according to a channel estimation sequence. A channel estimator(200) acquires a frequency-side channel response by using a spread pilot of the OFDM data and compensates for the channel response by using a Kalman filter. The channel estimator includes a pilot group extractor(201), a Kalman filter gain calculator(207), a Kalman filter compensator(208), a pilot gain calculator(209), and an amplifier(210). The Kalman filter compensator compensates for a current channel estimation value by using a Kalman filter gain and estimates a covariance and a channel estimation value for a next channel.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for estimating noise variance are provided to obtain a stable estimation for the noise variance even when a channel changes more rapidly than an interval of a pilot symbol by estimating the noise variance without using a result of a channel estimation or higher order statistics for a channel. A method for estimating noise variance in a multi carrier communication system comprises the following steps of: receiving a first symbol vector of a frequency domain; creating a second symbol vector by setting a symbol except for a receipt pilot symbol in the first symbol vector as 0(210); converting the second symbol vector of the frequency domain to a sample vector of a time domain(220); and estimating noise variance using the sample vector of the time domain. The step of estimating the noise variance comprises the following steps of: extracting a noise sample of a period in which a signal component does not exist, from the sample vector of the time domain(230); and calculating the variance of the extracted noise sample(240).

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for canceling interference in a mobile communication system are provided to group receiving signals to be suitable for a request BER(Bit Error Rate) of the mobile communication system and perform group-classified interference cancellation. CONSTITUTION: The first interference canceling unit(10) has a plurality of the first detectors(100) connected in parallel, a signal selector(200) and a subtractor(300). A plurality of the first detectors(100) receive a baseband signal. The signal selector(200) compares SIR(Signal to Interference Ratio) measurement values measured in a plurality of the first detectors(100) with a certain target SIR, and selects a reproduction signal reproduced in the first detector in which the SIR measurement value is greater than the target SIR. The subtractor(300) subtracts the reproduction signal selected in the signal selector(200) from the baseband signal. A last judging unit(20) receives the signal outputted from the first interference canceling unit(10), and performs hard bit decision.
