  • Patent number: 8000309
    Abstract: A method for transmitting a signal according to the present invention comprises spreading a control channel data through a PN code and generating a diffused control channel data; time division multiplexing the diffused control channel data and a service channel data and generating a multiplexed signal; and inverse Fourier transforming the multiplexed signal and generating an inverse Fourier transformed signal. Accordingly, in multi-hop communication, frequency efficiency is improved by not using different RF frequencies between a control channel and service channel, and applying a control channel and service channel through the TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) method, and the channel efficiency is improved by WAVE channel switching.

  • Patent number: 8000397
    Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for acquiring OFDM synchronization even when it fails to detect a plurality of symbols at an initial stage. In the method, a frequency is adjusted to a first frequency band and a cross correlation value between a received preamble symbol and a preset preamble symbol is calculated. When the calculated cross correlation value is larger than a predetermined reference value and is first detected, frequency hopping is performed to receive subsequent symbols and cross correlation values to the subsequent symbols are reexamined. When the reexamined cross correlation value larger than the predetermined reference value is detected, timing synchronization, frequency offset estimation, and frame detection are performed.
