Abstract: A method and system for performing an inter-FA handover in a communication system are provided. An MS receives from a serving BS neighbor BS information including a BS ID of at least one neighbor BS and a reference signal index of a reference signal used in the at least one neighbor BS. When it is necessary to scan the reference signal from the at least one neighbor BS, the MS scans the reference signal corresponding to the reference signal index. If the scanned reference signal has a quality equal to or greater than a threshold, the MS determines the BS ID of the at least one neighbor BS using the reference signal index as a BS ID for a recommended neighbor BS available for the inter-FA handover.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting a signal in a communication system are provided. In the signal transmitting method, a multi-FA signal is generated by combining single FA signals to be transmitted by N FAs. An operation mode is determined for N MMPAs according to a used FA strategy and adjustment of amplification characteristics of the N MMPAs is controlled according to the operation mode. The power of the multi-FA signal is divided by N, the N divided signals are amplified according to the adjusted amplification characteristics, and the power of the amplified N signals is combined.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving channel quality information (CQI) in a communication system having a frame including subchannels corresponding to the same frequency reuse factor or different frequency reuse factors. A base station (BS) allocates at least one of the subchannels in the frame to a subscriber station (SS), and sends a transmission request for a CQI for a subchannel desired to be received, to the SS. The SS measures channel quality for individual subchannels requested by the BS in response to the CQI request, and transmits the measured channel quality to the BS.

Abstract: Disclosed is a turbo channel encoding and decoding device for a CDMA communication system. When the input data frames are very short, the device assembles input frames into one super frame of an appropriate length and then encodes and decodes the super frame. After frame encoding and decoding, the frames are reassembled into the original input frames.

Abstract: A turbo channel encoding/decoding device for a CDMA communication system. The device segments an input frame into multiple sub frames of an appropriate length when the input data frame is very long, and then encodes and decodes the sub frames. Otherwise, when the input data frames are very short, the device composes input frames into one super frame of an appropriate length and then encodes and decodes the super frame. After frame encoding/decoding, the frames are recomposed into the original input frames.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for generating a preamble signal for cell identification in an OFDM mobile communication system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling downlink power transmitted from a base station to subscriber stations in a mobile communication system employing an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) scheme, in which data is carried from the base station to the subscriber stations by subchannels to each of which a plurality of subcarriers are assigned. The method includes the steps of receiving from the subscriber stations channel condition information of each of the subchannels together with information related to a subcarrier having a channel condition below a threshold from among at least one subcarrier included in each of the subchannels; calculating transmission power for each of the subchannels based on the received information; and transmitting each of the subchannels with the calculated transmission power, excluding the subcarrier having a channel condition below the threshold.

Abstract: A power control device and method in a mobile communication system. Upon receipt of a call request, a base station selects a call type corresponding to the call request. The base station includes a memory for storing power control parameter values for every call type serviceable in the mobile communication system. The base station reads a power control parameter value corresponding to the selected call type from the memory, and provides the read power control parameter value to the mobile station to perform outer loop power control.

Abstract: A method for preventing a collision among access requests made from a plurality of mobile stations requesting access to a base station in a radio communication system having a plurality of forward link and reverse link access channels. The base station allocates one of the forward link channels as a broadcast channel and transmits channel information about currently available reverse link access channels to the mobile stations via the broadcast channel. Based on the channel information received via the broadcast channel, one or more of the mobile stations transmits an access request signal to the base station via a selected one of the currently unoccupied reverse link access channels. Upon receipt of an access approval signal from the base station, the access requested mobile station accesses the base station via the selected unoccupied access channel.
