  • Patent number: 11012989
    Abstract: The present invention relates to underwater communication and, more particularly to a signal transmission method and device which configure and transmit physical channel information such that low-power control is performed in underwater communication. The present invention configures the physical channel information such that a reception node side can check through a combination of preambles whether a signal is provided to itself, when forward direction communication is performed in a centralized underwater communication network. Therefore, the present invention performs the control such that only a relevant reception node requiring data reception performs a demodulation operation, without requiring all reception nodes to always perform demodulation in a forward direction communication process. Through this process, many reception nodes do not perform unnecessary demodulation operations in the forward direction communication process, thereby providing an effect of preventing unnecessary power consumption.

  • Patent number: 10931492
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for communication, e.g. in an LTE system, that uses two tones with an in-phase pi/2 BPSK modulation with single carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA). Pairs of input bits are converted to symbols using pi/2 BPSK, with each one of the pair of bits converted using a same symbol constellation, and successive pairs of bits converted using alternatingly different symbol constellations. The two constellations may be identical after a pi/2 radian rotation. Pairs of symbols corresponding to pairwise converted bits may be treated as the symbols for a pair of tones of a subsequent SC-FDMA, OFDMA, or similar processing operation.
