Abstract: Partner relay systems and methods are provided in which relaying is performed by a pair of partner relays. Signals received from a base station are translated by a first of the pair of partner relays to a different transmission resource for communication between the pair of partner relays, and then upon reception by a second of the pair of partner relays, the signal is translated back to the original transmission resource and re-transmitted towards the receiver.

Abstract: Disclosed are a scheduling method and apparatus for a relay-based network. The scheduling apparatus may assign a plurality of sub channels to links, with respect to each of a first sub frame and a second sub frame included in s downlink sub frame. The scheduling apparatus may perform scheduling in cases where nodes operated as transmitters and as receivers in the first sub frame and the second sub frame may diversely exist.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for controlling interference. The apparatus may receive interference information about at least one subchannel which is allocated to at least one node in an OFDMA system. The apparatus may create an interference list using the interference information. The apparatus may report the interference list to a radio network controller (RNC).

Abstract: A security system which comprises temperature and movement sensors, and two timers. One of them for controlling a relay and the second timer. The relay, upon activation, triggers the theft alarm system. The second timer switches activate the power window motors to open the windows and to make a phone call. All this allows outside air to cool down the vehicle cabin, provides easy access/exit, alert nearby people for help, and also sends a remote alert to the person called. So, the present invention accomplishes its primary function of preserving life left in hot vehicles by taking measures to directly prevent life loss inside hot vehicles and alert nearby and remote people for assistance.

Abstract: An apparatus for allocating subchannels is provided. The apparatus includes: a subchannel allocation coefficient determination unit determining a subchannel allocation coefficient using a queue length of at least one terminal and a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the at least one terminal and at least one relay station in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system; and a subchannel allocation unit allocating a subchannel to at least one link formed in the OFDMA system using the subchannel allocation coefficient.
