Abstract: A turbo channel encoding/decoding device for a CDMA communication system. The device segments an input frame into multiple sub frames of an appropriate length when the input data frame is very long, and then encodes and decodes the sub frames. Otherwise, when the input data frames are very short, the device composes input frames into one super frame of an appropriate length and then encodes and decodes the super frame. After frame encoding/decoding, the frames are recomposed into the original input frames.

Abstract: In a network system including at least one mobility anchor point (MAP) for managing mobility of a mobile node (MN) and a plurality of routers connected to the at least one MAP in a hierarchical structure, the MAP sends a MAP option to at least one router located on a higher level than the MAP. When receiving the MAP option, the router located on the higher level sends an updated MAP option to neighboring routers, after incrementing a predetermined upward value comprised in the MAP option. MAPs distributed in the network system can deliver MAP options regardless of the hierarchical structure of routers, and hence the MN can maximize its location privacy. Because the MAP performs MAP domain announcement using a DOMAIN option, service use of routers outside the MAP domain can be limited, and the number of times that a MAP is changed can be reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for generating a preamble sequence in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing communication system including a reference base station and a plurality of non-reference base stations and employing m sub-carriers in a frequency domain. A reference preamble sequence having a length equal to n is generated and mapped on a one-to-one basis with n sub-carriers of the m sub-carriers. A final preamble sequence is generated from a base station when the base station is a reference base station, or a phase of the reference preamble sequence is shifted by a predetermined phase in order to generate a phase-shifted final preamble sequence when the base station is a non-reference base station, thereby minimizing interference between neighbor base stations.

Abstract: A pilot pattern set time interval of an OFDM communication system is divided into a plurality of sub-time intervals. Pilot patterns are generated considering a coherence bandwidth and a coherence time for each of the sub-time intervals, and pilot pattern sets are generated by combining the pilot patterns generated for each sub-time interval. Base stations included in the OFDM communication system are identified with the pilot pattern sets, thereby increasing the number of base stations that can be identified. Therefore, the limited radio resources, i.e., the limited pilot pattern resources, are grouped for efficient utilization, thereby contributing to improvement in system performance.

Abstract: A method of performing an inter-RAT measurement for a handover from NB-TDD to GSM is provided. A UE, as it moves from an NB-TDD Node B to a GSM cell, receives a measurement control message from the NB-TDD Node B. The UE then measures the strength of a signal received from the GSM cell and verifies its identification for a predetermined measuring time. If the UE successfully verifies the identification of the GSM cell for the measuring time, it reports the signal strength measurement and the verified GSM cell identification to the NB-TDD Node B. If the UE fails to verify the identification of the GSM cell for the measuring time, it reports only the signal strength measurement to the NB-TDD Node B.
