Abstract:
Provided is a hybrid beaconing method in which a centralized beaconing scheme and a distributed beaconing scheme are combined. In the hybrid beaconing method, a beaconing scheme is converted according to a network condition, and a centralized beaconing scheme or a distributed beaconing scheme is used to maintain an optimum network status.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of sensing an operating channel by using a natural quiet period in a cognitive radio system. A requested QP is reduced by using a natural QP needed for communication that is intrinsic to a communication system, not by using a QP for cognitive radio.
Abstract:
Provided are a method of managing multiple channels in a single network, and a network management device, also referred to as a network management system. According to the method and the network management device, all devices in one network that operate by using multiple channels share core information, and are effectively controlled.
Abstract:
Provided are a beacon re-broadcasting apparatus, a beacon re-broadcasting method, and an initial access request method in a wireless network. In the re-broadcasting apparatus and method, a beacon frame including beacon information for communications in the wireless network and information on an echo beacon slot allocated for beacon re-broadcasting among time slots of a superframe is received from a management device for managing the wireless network in which a plurality of terminals communicated with each other through the superframe including time-divided time slots, and the beacon information is re-broadcasted during the echo beacon slot. Accordingly, the beacon information can be received in various environments, and the beacon information can be received to an adjacent network in addition to the corresponding network. Therefore, frequency resources can be shared and effectively used between networks, and convenience and efficiency in network operation can be maximized.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for reserving resources between a master device and slave devices, and for reserving resources between slave devices on a centralized network. When reserving resources between slave devices, resources can be optimally allocated by measuring links between the slave devices before resource allocation.
Abstract:
Provided are a transmission power determining method and an apparatus thereof for parallel transmission of a plurality of streams. In a wireless communication system, the transmission power determining method and apparatus determine a transmission power suitable for allowing the plurality of streams to be simultaneously and reliably transmitted in a mutually permissible interference range, and use a Hidden Handshaking (HHS) procedure to determine the transmission power. By doing so, it is possible to perform reliable channel allocation and to reliably transmit the plurality of streams.
Abstract:
In a cognitive radio system, when communication in an operational channel is determined to be discontinued due to that an incumbent user (IU) entering the operational channel that is currently being used or due to that an excessive interference occurring in the operational channel, the operational channel is switched to a pre-arranged channel. However, since some parameters are different between the operational channel and the pre-arranged channel, an initialization procedure has to be performed to allow the cognitive radio system to be adapted to those some parameters. Since an initialization technique aiming for this situation is not developed yet, a conventional cognitive radio system uses a general initialization technique used to initially operate a system. However, the general initialization technique has to allow the system to be adapted to many parameters so that it takes a relatively long initialization time. A channel switching apparatus and method thereof of a base station, which allocates a slot for data exchange with each of a plurality of terminals in a frequency channel that is not used by the IU and thus performs communication, include transmitting a channel switching message for requesting to switch to a backup channel when a signal of the IU is sensed in the frequency channel; transmitting a beacon frame via the backup channel, wherein the beacon frame comprises allocation information about slots which are in the frequency channel and which are respectively allocated to each of the plurality of terminals; and allocating the slot for data exchange with each of the plurality of terminals to the backup channel according to the allocation information, and communicating with each of the plurality of terminals. By doing so, frequency resources between each of networks can be efficiently used, and convenience and efficiency with respect to network operation can be maximized.
