  • Patent number: 7680200
    Abstract: Disclosed is a transceiving apparatus and method in which a space frequency block coding (SFBC) technique is applied to the SC-FDE technique. The transceiving method encodes an input signal into frequency-domain blocks so as to output at least two signal blocks in parallel to each other, inserts a cyclic prefix (CP) into the output signal blocks, and outputs the signal blocks through the same sub-channel using a corresponding antenna.

  • Patent number: 7586992
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for channel estimation and CP reconstruction in an OFDM-STBC mobile communication system are provided. An ISI canceller cancels ISI signal components from first and second received symbol sequences. A cyclicity restorer cancels ICI signal components from the ISI-cancelled first received symbol sequence and the ISI-cancelled second received symbol sequence. A recoverer acquires the recovered sequence estimates of the ICI-cancelled first received symbol sequence and the ICI-cancelled second received symbol sequence by decoding. The ICI cancellation of the ISI-cancelled first and second received symbol sequences and the ISI cancellation of the second received symbol sequence are iterated a predetermined number of times.

  • Patent number: 7307974
    Abstract: A mobile communication system, a transmitter includes a first transmission antenna and a second transmission antenna, and the first and second transmission antennas transmit signals through at least one odd carrier and at least one even carrier. The transmitter determines a first symbol and a second symbol to be used for initial channel estimation of a receiver, encodes the first symbol and the second symbol by a preset transmit diversity scheme for a preset time, and transmits the encoded first and second symbols to the receiver through odd carriers and even carriers of the first transmission antenna and the second transmission antenna.

  • Patent number: 7227890
    Abstract: Disclosed is a VDSL (very high bit-rate digital subscriber line) system on the DMT line coding method basis and a method for determining a length of cyclic prefix samples using the system. The VDSL system comprises a transmitter data including cyclic prefix samples through a channel; a receiver for receiving the data including the cyclic prefix samples; a controller for controlling the transmitter and the receiver to control an initialization operation including handshake, training, channel analysis, and exchange, and a data transmission operation after the initialization operation; and a cyclic prefix sample length estimator for estimating an optimized length of the cyclic prefix sample on the basis of the correlation between the cyclic prefix sample and other data.

  • Publication number: 20050008085
    Abstract: A preprocessing apparatus and method for a transmitter and a receiver to prevent system performance degradation caused by Inter-Channel Interference (ICI) or inter-symbol interference (ISI) in an OFDM system. In the OFDM system using N carriers having different frequency bands and K carriers of the N carriers designated as redundant carriers, the transmitter renders ICI-causing parts to be zeroes in a data frame, when a cyclic prefix is not longer than a channel impulse response. Therefore, the ICI is prevented. The receiver eliminates the ISI involved in a current frame using an interference estimated from a previous data frame. Therefore, noise spread caused by the use of redundant carriers is prevented and system complexity is remarkably reduced.
