Patent number: 8345806Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided for detecting N number of TX signals in a MIMO wireless communication system. The apparatus includes an RF processor, a channel estimator, and a signal detector. The RF processor converts signals, received through multiple antennas, into baseband signals.

Patent number: 8175456Abstract: Provided is a burst scheduling method in an Optical Burst Switching (OBS) system in which a plurality of nodes are connected through a mesh-type network. When a TDB which has used many network resources via a plurality of nodes and an SHG burst generated in a previous node, among bursts including BCPs transmitted from the previous node, compete in a current node so as to occupy a specific output channel, scheduling is performed to cause the TDB to have a higher priority than the SHG burst such that the corresponding output channel is occupied. Therefore, it is possible to minimize a burst loss in a network node, thereby enhancing the overall system performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: ICU Research & Industrial Cooperation GroupInventors: Seoung Young Lee, Yong Suk Lee, Hong Shik Park

Patent number: 8111990Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for transferring optical data in an optical switching system using time synchronization. The apparatus performs time synchronization on optical data to input the optical data at regular intervals through fiber delay line for time synchronization respectively disposed on input ports. Therefore, the apparatus can efficiently reduce a data blocking rate in comparison with a conventional optical switching system using an asynchronous electric buffer without a synchronous process, and achieve the same performance as conventional asynchronous technology despite using fewer wavelength converters and buffers, thus reducing system cost. In addition, using dynamic time synchronization modules, the apparatus performs time synchronization for minute time variation due to an environment such as temperature.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2007Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: ICU Research and Industrial Cooperation GroupInventors: June Koo Rhee, Ji Hwan Kim, Jung Yul Choi, Min Ho Kang

Patent number: 8031818Abstract: Provided is a fine frequency synchronization method of a WiBro system, and particularly, a fine frequency synchronization method which measures a spread degree of a received signal of an adjacent subcarrier using orthogonality of PN sequences and thereby estimates a frequency offset, in a base station or a wireless repeater without using a GPS receiver. The fine frequency synchronization method includes: (a) performing despreading on received adjacent subcarrier sequences, using a PN sequence transmitted from a transmitting party; (b) obtaining ratios of correlative values obtained by the despreading; and (c) estimating a frequency offset on the basis of the ratio of correlative values. Accordingly, fine frequency offset estimation with relatively low complexity is possible without using a GPS receiver in a WiBro environment where interference signals of other base stations or repeaters exist.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2008Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignees: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., ICU Research and Industrial Cooperation GroupInventors: Sung-won Lee, Young-gon Choi, Jung-ho Kim, Yong-sung Roh, Hae-lyong Kim, Nam-shik Kim, Hyun-cheol Park, Joong-soo Ma
