  • Publication number: 20070280373
    Abstract: A method of transmitting data using a generalized phase shift based proceding or an extended phase shift precoding scheme in a multiple-antenna system using a plurality of subcarrier and a transceiver for supporting the same are disclosed. A phase shift based precoding matrix may be generalized and determined by a product of a diagonal matrix for phase shift and a unitary matrix for maintaining orthogonality in spatial domain. The diagonal matrix may be extended by a product of a proceding matrix for increasing channel power and the diagonal matrix for phase shift. The design of the transceiver can be simplified or communication efficiency can be improved by generalizing and extending the phase shift based proceding.

  • Publication number: 20060227778
    Abstract: A method of supporting multiple code types in a wireless mobile communication system is disclosed. More specifically, a mobile station (MS) receives a channel descriptor from a base station (BS), wherein the channel descriptor includes at least one burst profile which includes a code type and an interval usage code. Thereafter, the MS, first, recognizes the code type which includes information on coding scheme to be used by the BS or the MS, and recognizes, second, an interval usage code which is used for classifying all data bursts.
