Abstract: Provided is a radio communication system for ultra wideband (UWB) impulse communications and a radio communication apparatus and method thereof. The present patent provides a radio communication system that can minimize power consumption by eliminating a need for carrier detection and sharing transmission/reception time information in UWB impulse communications. The system includes a network coordinator; and one or more devices communicating on a superframe basis in subordination to the network coordinator. The devices perform data transmission/reception in predetermined time slots and then they are inactivated to thereby reduce power consumption.

Abstract: Provided is a communication system for ultra wide band impulse communication, and more particularly, to a communication apparatus and method that can be used in a sensor network or a low-rate wireless personal area network. To be more specific, the present research suggests a transmitter employing multi-coded bi-orthogonal pulse position modulation/demodulation and a method thereof.

Abstract: A multiple access digital communication method in ultra-wideband (UWB) radio access network is provided. More specifically, a multiple access technique in UWB communication channels is provided where UWB communication channels can be more efficiently used and collisions between multiple access user nodes can be more effectively avoided when the channels have a great multiple path fading. The digital communication method for use in an uplink in a UWB communication system includes the steps of: receiving data symbols from respective nodes, in which the data symbols are transmitted according to respective orthogonal time hopping patterns; checking whether there is a collision of the orthogonal time hopping patterns; and decoding the data symbols depending on whether data symbols of nodes involved in the collision of the orthogonal time hopping patterns are the same.

Abstract: An Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless communication system in a multi-user environment determines a threshold value to eliminate a signal pulse affected by a near-interference from among a plurality of signal pulses transmitted a number of times. A method for controlling an interference includes receiving the signal pulses, calculating a correlation value by applying a predetermined correlation mask to the signal pulses, determining a threshold value by referring to the number of times that the signal pulses are transmitted, a signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio, and information about a ratio of a near-interference to a far-interference, and eliminating signal pulses having a correlation value greater than the threshold value. The correlation values that are not greater than the threshold value are summed to detect a bit corresponding to each pulse signal.

Abstract: A method for controlling inter-cell interference (ICI) in a mobile communication system by transmitting uplink control information from a base station in a home cell to a terminal of a neighboring cell based on ICI amount information measured at the base station. The ICI control method includes receiving an uplink signal at a base station and extracting inter-cell interference amount information from the uplink signal, generating uplink control information based on the extracted inter-cell interference amount information, and transmitting the uplink control information to a terminal in a neighboring cell. The terminal schedules an uplink resource including selecting frequency bands for an uplink signal by referring to the uplink control information.

Abstract: A method for reducing inter-cell interference (ICI) in a mobile communication system controls transmission signal power of an uplink signal from a terminal based on signal power measurement for a signal received from a base station of a neighboring cell. A terminal receives a signal from a base station of a neighboring cell via a wireless channel, measures a channel response against a threshold value across an applicable frequency band by using the received signal, determines a transmission signal power for each frequency band used for data transmission based on the measured channel response, and transmits data to a home cell base station according to the transmission signal power for each frequency band. The terminal may measure a channel response based on signals received from multiple base stations in multiple neighboring cells, and may also evaluate signal power of a signal transmitted from the home cell.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for communicating data in a hybrid diversity mode in a broadband wireless communication system. In a method for transmitting data to a subscriber station (SS) in the broadband wireless communication system, null subbands are determined using feedback information received from the SS. TX data to be transmitted to the SS are mapped to a diversity zone from which the null subbands has been excluded. The mapped data are OFDM-modulated and transmitted to the SS. In this way, frequency subbands with poor channel conditions are excluded from data transmission. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the FER performance and transmit data at a high MCS level.
