Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for estimating a noise variance (i.e., necessary information to estimate transmitted symbols from received signals) in a receiver. When a first symbol vector on a frequency domain is received, a windowing controller sets all symbols except pilot symbols of the first symbol vector to zero to make a second symbol vector. An inverse discrete Fourier transformer transforms the second symbol vector on the frequency domain into a sample vector on the time domain, a noise sample extractor extracts noise samples of a block in which much reduced signals appear from the sample vector on the time domain, and a variance calculator calculates a variance of the extracted noise samples.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for transmitting control information and packet data. The method includes generating control channels which transmit the control information; generating control indication channel which indicates whether the control channels are transmitted or not; generating data channels in order to transmit the packet data based on the control information; multiplexing the control channels, the control indication channels, and the data channels; and transmitting the control channels, the control indication channels, and the data channels. According to the present invention, when control information and packet data are transmitted in downlink, by transmitting additional information indicating whether control channels are transmitted or not, resources not actually allocated to control channels can be allocated to data channel and the mobile station can receive data channel using the control indication information.
Abstract:
Provide is a 3-dimensional Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (3D DMB) system. The present invention can provide a 3D DMB system providing a more realistic 3D Audio/Video (AV) service to a user, while maintaining comparability with a conventional DMB system, by processing a binocular 3D image and 3D sound based on a conventional system structure. The 3D DMB system includes: a video encoder for receiving and encoding a video signal of a binocular 3D image; an audio encoder for receiving and encoding an audio signal of a 3D sound; a packetizor for packetizing the encoded video and audio signals into an Sync Layer (SL) packet; and a multiplexer for transforming and multiplexing the SL packet packetized by the packetizer. A 3D DMB receiving system includes: a demultiplexer for demultiplexing a stream including binocular 3D image information and 3D sound information; a depacketizer for depacketizing the SL packet and outputting a decoding stream of an 3D video signal and a 3D sound audio signal; a video decoder for decoding a encoding stream for a video signal of the binocular 3D image; an audio decoder for decoding a encoding stream for the 3D sound audio signal; and a scene restorer for forming and outputting a 2D AV or 3D AV scene by using a video/3D additional video and an audio/3D additional audio signal which are received from the video decoder and the audio decoder.
