  • Patent number: 10819472
    Abstract: The present specification provides a method for performing a physical layer security-based hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). The method comprises the steps of: generating a first code comprising information bits for forming data to be transmitted, and non-information bits which are unrelated to the data to be transmitted; generating a second code, having a length which differs from that of the first code, by puncturing the first code; determining locations of the information bits and non-information bits within the second code such that a variance of mutual information for each of the information bits and the non-information bits is maximized; and performing the HARQ by using the second code in which the locations of the information bits and the non-information bits are determined.

  • Patent number: 10700816
    Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for performing a HARQ based on a polar code in a wireless communication system. The apparatus transmits multiple first output bits, which are generated from multiple first input bits, to a receiver. Upon receiving a retransmission request, the apparatus generates multiple second output bits from multiple second input bits. The apparatus selects multiple third output bits from among the multiple second output bits, and transmits the selected multiple third output bits to the receiver. Bits, which are encoded differently from the multiple first output bits among the multiple second output bits, are preferentially selected as the multiple third output bits.

  • Patent number: 8160174
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of detecting signals at a receiver of a communication system with a multiple input multiple output antenna. With the signal detection method, a square of the distance between a received signal vector and a channel status-considered transmission symbol vector is calculated first, and the square of the distance is then classified into first and second components. The first component is minimized to calculate a plurality of first soft symbol estimates. A solution set of the first component is calculated on the basis of the plurality of first soft symbol estimates. The second component is minimized to calculate a plurality of second soft symbol estimates. A solution set of the second component is calculated on the basis of the plurality of second soft symbol estimates. A final solution set is calculated by doing the sum of the first component solution set and the second component solution.

  • Patent number: 8135099
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission symbol detection method in a multiple antenna system. In the present invention, when a channel matrix is estimated through channel estimation, a receiving side calculates a Q matrix and an R matrix through QR decomposition that is more simplified than a typical QR decomposition from an augmented channel matrix that includes the estimated channel matrix. In addition, the receiving side detects symbols having the minimum Euclidean metric by using the two matrixes, as transmission symbols.

  • Publication number: 20080137781
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting a space-time code in a mobile communication system. When detecting a space-time code B for a plurality of transmitting antennas, an ML (maximum likelihood) metric, which is generally calculated by using a specific structure of a matrix B, is defined as a new ML metric by reducing a variable of the ML metric. Two dependent sphere decoding processes are performed and an intersection of the decoding results is calculated, and a signal is detected from the ML metric. Therefore, since detection of the space-time code B for the plurality of transmitting antennas is performed by using the newly defined ML metric, an amount of matrix calculated can be reduced, and a calculation amount can be reduced by performing the two dependent sphere decoding processes. Further, since a detection order of symbols is changed according to a channel situation, it is possible to improve the performance of the system.
