Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for selecting an airborne position reference node. A weight center coordinate of the repeaters is calculated by using position coordinates of repeaters, a plane having a vector connecting the weight center coordinate and a position coordinate of a user as a normal vector is determined, and the position coordinates of the repeaters are orthographically projected onto the plane. A certain number of repeaters located farthest from the weight center coordinate of the repeaters are selected to be airborne position reference nodes, on the basis of the orthographically projected coordinates of the repeaters and the weight center coordinate.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a communication method and apparatus using a slot-based channel and, more particularly, to technology for estimating slot-based channel values in real time so as to perform Analog Network Coding (ANC) or full-duplex communication in a single slot. In order to achieve the object, a communication apparatus using a slot-based channel according to an embodiment includes a transmission unit, a channel estimation unit, and a decoding unit.
