  • Patent number: 8401052
    Abstract: A method for detecting signals based on despreading and a signal transmitting method for the same are provided. Signals are spread according to the size of at least one spreading band, which is determined in consideration of a correlation degree of a frequency band in a communication system. A reception side which receives the signals detects the signals after de-spreading with respect to signals which are spread in a frequency band having a correlation degree equal to or greater than a predetermined level as a spreading band, among the reception signals. Thus, the dimension of the detected signals can be decreased.

  • Publication number: 20120269295
    Abstract: A method of transmitting control information includes dividing frequency bandwidth into ranges to which the same PMI (precoding matrix index) is applied, obtaining multiple antenna information by the range to which the same PMI is applied and transmitting the multiple antenna information. Since multiple antenna information is transmitted by the unit of a range to which the same PMI is applied, radio resources allocated for transmitting the multiple antenna information may be reduced, thereby enhancing data transmission efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8290007
    Abstract: A frequency-stabilized laser apparatus and a method for stabilizing the frequency of a laser are disclosed. A semiconductor laser emits a beam. An external reflector has a resonance frequency and feeds back the emitted beam to the semiconductor laser if the frequency of the emitted beam is equal to the resonance frequency. An interference signal generator generates an interference signal for detecting the wavelength of the emitted beam and a controller detects the wavelength of the beam from the generated interference signal. According to the frequency-stabilized laser apparatus and the method for stabilizing the frequency of the laser, it is possible to stabilize the frequency of the beam emitted from the semiconductor laser and output the beam having the stable frequency for a long period of time.
