Abstract: An apparatus and method controls power supplied from a powered HUB to a user terminal includes based on a vibration signal transmitted from the terminal. Initially, a connection between the HUB and terminal is determined to exist if at least one vibration signal is received from the terminal. Then, a determination is made as to when the signal is received. If received during a first check period, power is supplied from the HUB to the terminal. If received during a second check period, power continues to be supplied to the terminal. Power is cut-off when a number of vibration signals or vibration-signal events does not equal a predetermined number and the second check period transitions into the first check period. By taking these steps, the need to use specialized modules and communications protocols is eliminated, thereby reducing costs and system complexity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for monitoring an antenna state of a mobile station. A resister may be provided between a battery voltage terminal and a power source voltage terminal of a power amplifier. A voltage level corresponding to a dropped amount of a voltage due to the resister may be generated and compared with a previously stored voltage level to determine whether current consumption of the power amplifier has been increased. If the increased amount of the current consumption of the power amplifier is large, the currently connected antenna may be determined to be in an abnormal state and a transmission path may be switched to another antenna. If two antennas provided in the mobile communication are in an electrically abnormal state, a baseband chip may inform a user of the abnormal state of the antenna. Accordingly, an output level degradation generated when the antenna is operated in an electrically abnormal state and shortening of the life span of a battery can be prevented.

Abstract: A mobile terminal in a mobile communications system stores received data with less hardware and more power-efficient power requirements compared with conventional terminals. These advantages are achieved by using a single memory to store data decoded by a plurality of decoder units. More specifically, the terminal performs the steps of selecting one of two decoders for decoding data, decoding data in the selected decoder, determining an address of a common memory connected to the two decoders based on information in the decoded data; and storing the decoded data in the address of the common memory. The first decoder may be a viterbi decoder and the second decoder may be a turbo decoder. The common memory addresses may be determined based on the values of predetermined bits of decoded data output from the decoders. By using a common memory for this purpose, the terminal is able to realize a smaller size than could previously be attained.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for re-transmitting erroneous packet data is disclosed. Each of the physical layers of the system includes a buffer, a timer, a controller, and a radio frequency unit. The buffer temporarily stores transmitted data in the form of a final data frame capable of being transmitted on a transmission line without any processing. The timer is a time counter adapted to limit the time, for which the transmission end waits for an acknowledgment to a transmission of data after the data transmission is made. If no acknowledgment signal is received when the timer expires the buffered data in the physical layer is re-transmitted. This reduces the data transmission delay resulting from the inter-layer movement of data generated during a re-transmission of erroneous data, and the transmission delay of packet data resulting from overhead time.
