Abstract: Provided is a bidirectional service flow management method in a wideband wireless connection communication system, and more particularly, a method of performing a bidirectional flow establishment. The method of providing a flow service in an IEEE 802.16/WiBro includes: generating a revised dynamic service addition (DSA) related message in which an area for designating bidirectional flow management information is allocated from a standard DSA related message; and performing a bidirectional flow initialization process between a subscriber station (SS) and a base station (BS) via single control message negotiation based on the revised DSA related message.

A frequency reusing method in a wireless communication system including a coverage region, which has first, second and third regions comprises (a) transmitting traffics by assigning a total frequency band, which includes different three sub-frequency bands, to the first, second and third regions during a first interval; and (b) transmitting the traffics by respectively assigning the different three sub-frequency bands to the first, second and third regions during a second interval.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for estimating a frequency offset in a wireless telecommunication system. The present invention does not estimate an initial frequency offset using a preamble which is the initial symbol of a frame upon estimation of the frequency offset in the wireless telecommunication system, but estimates a frequency offset using correlation of a cyclic prefix (CP) existing in each symbol, thereby eliminating a need to reproduce information about separate preamble signals and preamble signals, and easily estimating a frequency offset using only input signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic gain control apparatus and method in a wireless telecommunication system which measures the strength of received signals using preamble symbols and automatically control the gain of an amplifier based on the measurement results. The automatic gain control apparatus and method according to present invention performs automatic gain control of measuring sample power in a sample unit for input signals, acquiring a sample power average value during a unit symbol period, detecting a maximum value during one frame period for the acquired sample power average value and then calculating a gain control value based on it.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for processing authentication using Extensible Authentication Protocol-Authentication and Key Agreement (EAP-AKA) in a non-Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) terminal without a USIM card. According to the present invention, although the USIM card used for user authentication function is absent, the secret value that used to be stored in the USIM card for user authentication is directly stored in the non-USIM terminal. Therefore, both a user password and a secret value are applied for EAP-AKA authentication of the terminal and the user and user authentication problems caused by lack of the USIM card can be overcome.

The apparatus includes: a controller for measuring correlation energy with preambles with respect to received signals transmitted from a transmitter, measuring strength of the received signals, and removing a sample from frames constituting the received signals, the preambles predetermined and used by the system, the sample having a ratio of the correlation energy with respect to the strength of the received signals, the ratio being smaller than a reference value; and a classifier for extracting a maximum value from the correlation energy received from the controller, and determining a boundary of a downlink of the frames constituting the received signals.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for estimating a channel in a base station when using an Optional Partial Usage of Sub-Channels (OPUSC) mode in an uplink channel of a communication system supporting Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDM/OFDMA). In order to estimate the channel in the OFDM/OFDMA communication system, according to the present invention, pilots and data are extracted from input signals, phase change caused by time delay is estimated using the extracted pilots and data, and a channel estimation value is obtained by reflecting the estimated phase change.
