Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for deciphering recorded digital audio signals and using a smart card to pay for deciphering. Encrypted digital audio signals are recorded onto a recording medium, such as a compact disc or the like. When the user desires to listen to the recording, the encrypted recording is inserted into a player/recorder and a prepaid smart card is inserted into a smart card reader connected to the player/recorder. The smart card reader deducts a predetermined value from the card before allowing the player/recorder to decipher the encrypted recording, and record the deciphered audio onto a recording medium for playback.

Abstract: A roaming service method in a mobile broadcasting system and a system thereof are provided. A terminal receives a service guide from a corresponding visited service provider (Visited SP) when the terminal moves to a roaming area. The terminal transmits a roaming request message for requesting a purchase item allowable for individual services to a home service provider (Home SP) based on the received service guide. Upon receipt of the roaming request message, the Home SP negotiates roaming availability and allowable scope for each individual service with the Visited SP where the terminal is located, based on the roaming request message. The Home SP transmits the roaming availability and allowable scope for the individual service, negotiated with the Visited SP, to the terminal.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for interference cancellation in a BWA communication system. In a receiving apparatus for the interference cancellation, a preamble correlation measurer measures a preamble correlation coefficient from a preamble of a signal received signal. A data rearranger determines a block size to divide the received signal from the preamble correlation coefficient, divides the signal according to the determined block size, and rearranges the divided signals in a Space-Time coding (STC) mode. An estimate weight calculator cross-correlates the output signals of the data rearranger, rearranges the cross-correlated signals, auto-correlates the rearranged signals, and calculates an estimate weight to perform an interpolation operation. An estimate signal decoding/combining unit detects desired signals from signals estimated by the estimate weight calculator and combines the detected signals.
