Abstract: An integral communication device and method for controlling the integral communication device are provided for expanding the communication capability of a mobile terminal. An integral communication device of the present invention includes a plurality of communication modules that operate with different communication standards, a connector having terminals for electrical connection to a mobile terminal, a switch for switching the terminals of the connector between the communication modules, and a device controller for controlling the switch to establish electric links to the communication modules individually.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting frames in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), each station in the WLAN determines whether there is another station in a hidden state. The station transmits a frame to an Access Point (AP) without performing an Request To Send/Clear To Send (RTS/CTS) mechanism when there is another station in a hidden state, thereby improving use efficiency of the wireless network and minimizing frame transmission delay.

Abstract: A system of a wireless local area network (LAN) based on transmit power control comprises: an access point (AP) for broadcasting a beacon frame to an area that is outside a service coverage of a first transmit power by using a second transmit power higher than the first transmit power already set when it reaches a set period, and for increasing the first transmit power if there is a request for increase of the first transmit power based on the beacon frame broadcast by the second transmit power; and a station which requests an increase in the first transmit power on the basis of the received beacon frame so as to enable the station to have an association with the AP. The increase is requested when the station receives the beacon frame broadcast from the AP with the second transmit power when the station is outside the service coverage of the first transmit power.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for compensating for frequency offset in a wireless communication system using an OFDM system which can compensate for phase change due to carrier frequency offset and sampling frequency offset of data carried on subcarriers.

Abstract: Detecting interference between neighboring Basic Service Sets (BSSs) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system conforming to an IEEE 802.11 standard in which an arbitrary Access Point (AP) wirelessly transmits and receives frames to and from a station in a relevant BSS includes: receiving the frames; calculating an other-BSSID rate for the received frames; and determining whether interference has occurred, based on the other-BSSID rate.
