  • Patent number: 7933560
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving data in a mobile communication system using multiple antennas are provided. A receiver estimates a fading channel of received data, selects a weight set relative to a maximum data transmission rate from at least one weight set with elements of a plurality of orthogonal weight vectors, and transmits feedback information including the selected weight set and channel-by-channel state information to a transmitter. The transmitter demultiplexes data to be transmitted on a basis of the feedback information into at least one sub-data stream, multiplies each sub-data stream by an associated weight, and transmits the data.

  • Patent number: 7876848
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a transmission unit for data stream transmission in a wireless communication system in which multiple transmission and reception antennas are used and a receiver provides information on a data stream to be transmitted through a transmission unit. A fading estimator calculates fading values from the multiple transmission antennas to the multiple reception antennas. A channel quality estimator reverse-orders combined weights for multiple transmission units based on the fading values from the multiple transmission antennas to the multiple reception antennas, successively selects transmission units for data stream transmission among the reverse-ordered transmission units, determines a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for each of the selected transmission units, and feeds back the MCS to a transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20100284359
    Abstract: Disclosed is C-SDMA and C-BF technology for effectively suppressing inter-cell interference from neighboring BTSs only by using partial channel information delivered from an AT over a limited uplink feedback channel in a collaborative wireless communication system employing an FDD scheme and including neighboring BTSs connected to each other through a high-speed wireline communication network. C-SDMA technology makes it possible to select the optimal feedback scheme by considering uplink feedback channel capacity allowed in the system. C-BF technology uses information on beamforming signal weight and main beamforming interference weight vectors to suppress collision between formed by weights that each BTS uses, thereby improving system transmission capacity. Technology providing higher system capacity is adaptively selected from among C-SDMA and C-BF by using limited feedback information, so that high system capacity is provided in various environmental conditions.

  • Publication number: 20080212554
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically setting a configuration in a home base station. In the method for automatically setting a configuration in a home base station, wireless setting information of a neighbor base station and a neighbor home base station is retrieved through a communication interface for a terminal operation when updated wireless setting information is not received from a network apparatus. The retrieved wireless setting information is transmitted to the network apparatus. An operation is performed by reflecting last wireless setting information when the last wireless setting information is received from the network apparatus. The configuration can be automatically set by monitoring an environment of a neighbor base station without a direct operation of an engineer, transmitting a monitoring result to a server, and receiving FA information and PN code information from the server.

  • Publication number: 20050286650
    Abstract: A transmit diversity apparatus and method are provided for adaptively providing a transmit diversity gain or a beamforming gain depending on changes in a radio channel undergoing multipath fading in a mobile communication system using multiple antennas. A transmitter forms as many fixed beams as the number of transmit antennas and a receiver selects a fixed beam having relatively high power among received fixed beams or linearly combines the received fixed beams. This common eigen space transmit diversity scheme improves the link performance between the transmitter and the receiver.
