Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving data using a polarization transmission in a line-of-sight (LOS) radio communication system. An for transmitting data using a polarization transmission in a LOS radio communication system may include: an antenna unit including at least two antennas to transmit or receive via a different polarization path; a polarization data setting unit to set the different polarization path for each of the at least two antennas; and a resource allocation unit to set a transmission scheme according to a data characteristic and a service type, and to allocate a resource to be transmitted via the different polarization path according to the transmission scheme.

Abstract: Provided are a node device of a beacon-enabled Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) managing a channel resource and a method thereof. The node device may generate a pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) and generate a hopping sequence based on a number of available channels using the PRBS, thereby generating a hopping sequence having a characteristic of pseudo randomness and selecting a channel to be hopped, using the hopping sequence.

Abstract: The apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to arrange a plurality of symbols received through an antenna at a frequency domain, an analog to digital (AD) converter configured to converts the plurality of symbols arranged at the frequency domain to digital symbols, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) unit configured to transform the digital symbols through a fast Fourier transform scheme, a compensator configured to compensate a gain mismatch between an I-channel and a Q-channel of the transformed digital symbols, a mapping unit configured to the compensated digital symbols to a constellation diagram, and a detector configured to correlate the mapped symbols, extract correlation results, and detect a high throughput (HT) signal using the extracted correlation results.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling media access in a sensor network and a method of managing traffic information. Since traffic information is exchanged between nodes and data is transmitted by using a dynamic long preamble according to receiver nodes, data transmission efficiency can be improved, energy consumed to transmit the long preamble can be reduced, and data transmission delay can be reduced as well.
