  • Patent number: 8270504
    Abstract: A method for configurating a basic signal allocation unit and a method of transmitting signals using the configurated basic signal allocation unit are disclosed. In particular, a basic frequency domain signal allocation unit is configurated by considering at least one selected from the group consisting of a signaling overhead, a size of a coherent bandwidth and a number of divisors among specific numbers and an OFDM symbol number corresponding to a multiple of a subframe unit, each of the specific numbers multiplied to a predetermined subcarrier spacing to enable a result value of the multiplication to have a difference smaller than a prescribed threshold from a divisor of a system bandwidth. And, a time domain unit is configurated by 1-subframe unit. Accordingly, signaling overhead can be efficiently reduced.

  • Patent number: 8265220
    Abstract: The present invention includes a time-division-multiple-access (TDMA) communication system having a base station and at least one mobile station, each transmitting and receiving an analog radio-frequency signal carrying digitally coded speech. The speech is encoded using a vocoder which samples a voice signal at variable encoding rates. During periods when the radio-frequency channel is experiencing high levels of channel interference, the encoded voice channel having a lower encoding rate is chosen. This low-rate encoded voice is combined with the high degree of channel coding necessary to ensure reliable transmission. When the radio-frequency channel is experiencing low levels of channel interference, less channel coding is necessary and the vocoder having a higher encoding rate is used. The high-rate encoded voice is combined with the lower degree of channel coding necessary to ensure reliable transmission.
