  • Patent number: 8503475
    Abstract: A base station calculates the number of terminals which have transmitted messages at ith frame, and calculates the number of messages to be transmitted at (i+1)th frame by using the number of terminals which have transmitted the messages in the ith frame. The base station calculates a transmission probability by using the number of messages to be transmitted in the (i+1)th frame and the number of random access slots, and transmits the number of messages to be transmitted in the (i+1)th frame and the transmission probability to the plurality of terminals. The base station receives a message transmitted by a pertinent terminal, whose number of messages to be transmitted in the (i+1)th frame is greater than the number of random access slots, among the plurality of terminals, according to the result obtained by comparing the transmission probability and a random number.

  • Patent number: 8498662
    Abstract: In a communication system including a plurality of base stations and a plurality of terminals belonging to each of the base stations, the base station receives information on subcarriers allocated to a terminal that belongs to an adjacent base station from the adjacent base station. Thereafter, the base station generates power control information on the basis of the subcarrier information and transmits the power control information to the terminal, and the terminal controls uplink power on the basis of the received power control information. At this time, the power control information, as information based on estimating hitting between subcarriers used by the terminal that belongs to the base station and subcarriers used by the adjacent base station, may be a ratio found by dividing the total number of subcarriers used by each terminal that belongs to the adjacent base station by the entire number of subcarriers that can be used by the base station.

  • Patent number: 8331481
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a channel state transmission method using time domain coefficient quantization. A terminal measures channel information in the time domain and transmits it to a base station. In this instance, a multipath frequency selective fading channel is displayed in a tapped delay line format configured with a per-path path delay value and a path gain in the time domain, differentiates a quantization level for each path gain for more efficient transmission, quantizes the same, and transmits it to a transmitter. Therefore, while the amount of bandwidths required for transmitting state information from the terminal to the base station is reduced, the base station can efficiently acquire channel state information on the entire bandwidths. Also, the base station transmits signals to many terminals through beamforming by using the acquired reliable channel state information, thereby increasing the terminal's signal receiving performance.
