Abstract: An apparatus and method for protecting a communication device of a railroad car is provided. The apparatus includes an antenna portion configured to include main antennas and an auxiliary antenna, a main receiver configured to check a magnitude of a received signal transferred through the main antennas of the antenna portion, an auxiliary receiver configured to check a magnitude of a received signal transferred through the auxiliary antenna of the antenna portion, and a controller configured to compare the magnitude of the signal received by the main receiver and the magnitude of the signal received by the auxiliary receiver, determine whether there is a jamming signal according to a comparison result, and take a preset countermeasure when it is determined that there is a jamming signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are a railway vehicle braking system and method. The railway vehicle braking system includes a braking command generating unit generating a braking command to stop a railway vehicle, a comparison unit determining whether the braking command has been changed, a delay unit delaying and outputting the braking command depending upon a determination result from the comparison unit, and a digital-to-analog converter converting the braking command, which has been delayed by the delay unit, into an analog signal and inputting the analog signal to an actuator.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system including a transmitting end and a receiving end, wherein the transmitting end includes: a hierarchical codebook in which at least one base codebook is designated as the upper matrix and a child codebook generated based on a chordal distance between respective codewords configuring the base codebook is designated as the lower matrix; a scheduler configured to receive channel state information from the receiving end and select precoding matrices from the hierarchical codebook based on the channel state information; and a precoder configured to apply the precoding matrices selected in the scheduler to data to be transmitted to the receiving end and transmit the selected precoding matrices through a plurality of antennas.

Abstract: A method for generating a hybrid codebook for a Multi-User Multiple-input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) system includes the steps of: generating a parent matrix set including a plurality of M×M unitary matrices when the number of transmitter antennas is M; and generating a child matrix set dependent on the parent matrix set by using training vectors included in a random training set and each column for each unitary matrix of the parent matrix set as an initial vector codebook.
