  • Patent number: 11973553
    Abstract: Proposed is a mobile router for transmitting and receiving millimeter waves to and from a base station, the mobile router including a first member including an antenna array configured to transmit and receive the millimeter waves, a second member, and an angle adjustment part connecting the first member to the second member, wherein the angle adjustment part is formed such that the first member and the second member are adjusted at a predetermined angle so as to allow the antenna array to transmit and receive the millimeter waves at a specific angle. The first member including the antenna array is configured to be unfolded at a predetermined angle with respect to the second member in order to transmit and receive a 5G millimeter wave beam signal at a specific angle, and thus a user can optimally adjust the transmission/reception sensitivity of 5G millimeter waves.

  • Patent number: 10931341
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a CSI extraction method in a MIMO receiver used in a wireless communication system, the method including: obtaining an effective channel matrix by matrix multiplication of a precoding matrix and a channel estimation value obtained through a CSI-RS; calculating an upper and a lower bound of a minimum distance for each layer through QR decomposition for the effective channel matrix; and mapping the upper and the lower bound of the minimum distance for each layer to each codeword, and extracting a mean mutual information per bit (MMIB) metric that is a transmission capacity per unit frequency for each codeword. According to the present invention, QR decomposition and a MMIB metric are used to obtain the minimum distance for each layer without a multidimensional search process, whereby the CSI is extracted with fewer operations than the conventional method when the MIMO transmission order is high.
