  • Patent number: 7783962
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an iterative decoding receiver for reducing complexity of a partial sphere decoding operation in a spatial multiplexing system, and a method thereof. In the present invention, an iterative detection and decoding (IDD) method using a cost function-based iterative partial sphere decoding method and a soft cancellation-based iterative partial sphere decoding method is used to correct an initial estimation error. In a channel encoding spatial multiplexing system, since the iterative decoding receiver using decoding algorithms including a BCJR algorithm, an MPA, and a VA performs an SISO sphere decoding operation providing an optimum detection solution, the iterative decoding receiver may detect transmission symbols at a whole dimension by detecting the transmission symbols at a partial dimension, and therefore the complexity of the SISO sphere decoding operation may be greatly reduced.

  • Patent number: 7532598
    Abstract: A method for flooding a route request packet that is received at a node in a communication system constructed of at least three nodes including a source node that requests to establish a route and a destination node that receives the route request. One of a plurality of levels having different transmission periods is determined using a strength of a received signal of a measured packet. A transmission start point is selected at the determined level, and it is determined whether a route request packet is re-received before the selected transmission start point. The received packet is broadcast at the selected transmission start point when the packet is not re-received. The transmission start point is randomly selected within the transmission period or at the level in consideration of the number of the connected nodes.

  • Patent number: 7391789
    Abstract: An ad-hoc network wireless communication system transmits data packets from one hop to another hop in a relay manner, and includes a transmitting node for transmitting a RTS message in order to transmit the data packets, and a receiving node, existing in a next hop of the transmitting node, for transmitting a CTS message in response to the RTS message transmitted from the transmitting node. The receiving node transmits the CTS message to another receiving node successively connected to the receiving node in response to the transmitted CTS message, and the transmitting node transmits the data packets to the receiving node in the case that the CTS message transmitted by the receiving node of the next hop is received over a predetermined number of times. The ad-hoc network wireless communication system can maximize the communication efficiency in a multi-hop network with its complexity minimized by extending a MAC protocol based on a IEEE 802.11 DCF to a reservation-based MAC in the multi-hop network.

In the resource allocation method, the system frequency band is divided into a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) interval and a Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) interval in time, and the TDD interval and the FDD interval are defined as TDD resources and FDD resources, respectively. The TDD resources are allocated to an AT within the broad-band service area, and the FDD resources are allocated to an AT within the narrow-band service area.
