  • Patent number: 8259618
    Abstract: In wireless network communication, the present invention provides a method of checking whether information on a request for a mode change is received for a prescribed channel time in a manner that a device configuring a network enters a power save mode in the course of not performing data transmission/reception and that a modem enters an awake state from a sleep state for the prescribed channel time. And, the prescribed channel time is determined to correspond to a time for transmitting a beacon. According to one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a modem of a device in a power save mode enters an awake state for a channel time period for broadcasting a beacon and then checks whether information on a power management mode change is received. If the information does not exist, a sleep state is reentered. If the power management mode change information is received, a power is managed by performing data transmission/reception in a manner of switching to a normal mode.

  • Patent number: 8259632
    Abstract: A protocol for a peer power save mode (PPSM) in a tunneled direct link setup (TDLS) wireless network and a system therefor are provided. A station (STA) set up a TDLS link can send a frame having a power management bit set to a peer STA to enter into a power save mode (PSM). In this case, the station entering into the PSM operates in a PPSM client mode. When the peer STA operates in the PPSM client mode, the STA can operate in the PPSM access point (AP) mode or can enter into the PPSM client mode. The STA operating in the PPSM AP mode buffers data for the STA operating in the PPSM client mode and informs the peer STA of information indicating that there is buffered data by the use of a peer traffic indication frame or the like. In principle, a U-APSD procedure can be applied to the transmission of data through a direct link from the STA operating in the PPSM AP mode to the STA operating in the PPSM client mode.

  • Patent number: 8259869
    Abstract: A receiving system and a method of processing broadcast signal are disclosed herein. The receiving system includes a signal receiving unit, an equalizer, an inner decoder, a reliability adjustor, and an outer decoder. The signal receiving unit receives a broadcast signal and demodulates the received broadcast signal, wherein the broadcast signal comprises a data group including mobile service data and multiple known data sequences. The equalizer uses the known data sequences to channel-equalize data group included in the demodulated broadcast signal. The inner decoder matches mobile service data within the data group, which are inputted in a block-size for turbo-decoding, with mobile service data being symbol-decoded and fed-back, thereby performing trellis-decoding. The reliability adjustor adjusts a reliability level of the mobile service data based upon positions within the data group of the trellis-decoded mobile service data.
