  • Patent number: 7525947
    Abstract: Inventive embodiments relate to a method and an apparatus for tunneling service of an explicit multicast in a mobile IP network to forward multicast packets to plural mobile nodes with effect. When the apparatus providing the tunneling service for an explicit multicast in a mobile IP network receives a multicast packet from a correspondent node with a network, it extracts mobile nodes existing in a path for tunneling from among the plurality of mobile nodes. Also, after it creates an explicit multicast tunnel header having a destination address as a Co-Located Care-of Address (CL COA) of the mobile nodes existing in the path for tunneling, it tunnels a multicast packet that was encapsulated using the explicit multicast tunnel header to the mobile nodes.

  • Patent number: 7515641
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for processing a ranging channel in an OFDMA system. The apparatus converts received ranging complex signals to polar coordinate signals having a signal magnitude and a phase, and the received converted signals are each represented by a signal magnitude component and a phase component. A predetermined phase component of a signal according to a phase rotation is used to estimate a time delay by an addition operation of the phase of the received signal and the phase according to the phase rotation. Accordingly, the time delay and the power of each reverse link user of the OFDMA mobile communication system can be calculated by arithmetic operations of addition components instead of multiplication components, resulting in the reduction of complexity.

  • Patent number: 7471678
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and apparatus for tunneling service of explicit multicast, to efficiently transmit an explicit multicast of a packet to plural destinations. A tunnel ingress node is receives an explicit multicast packet from a sender terminal, which the explicit multicast packet has to be transmitted to plural addressee terminals. And, after the tunnel ingress node recognizes tunnel egress nodes using plural addresses terminal's address in the explicit multicast packet, it creates a tunnel header comprising transmission destinations based on the list of the recognized tunnel egress nodes. And then, the tunnel ingress node creates a tunnel packet encapsulated with the explicit multicast packet and the tunnel header, transmits the tunnel packet to the tunnel egress nodes. The tunnel egress nodes extract the tunnel header from the tunnel packet, and transmit the explicit multicasting packet to plural addressee terminals using the destination address of the tunnel header.
