Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving a signal including cell information in a communication system. An operation method of a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving a first SS/PBCH block from a base station; receiving a second SS/PBCH block from the base station after receiving the first SS/PBCH block; and confirming information included in the first SS/PBCH block and the second SS/PBCH block by performing a combining operation on the first SS/PBCH block and the second SS/PBCH block when a transmission beam of the first SS/PBCH block is the same as a transmission beam of the second SS/PBCH block. Therefore, the performance of a communication system can be improved.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting or receiving feedback information in a communication system. An operation method of a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, DCI #1 including scheduling information of PDSCH #1 and transmission resource information of HARQ response #1 with respect to PDSCH #1; receiving, from the base station, DCI #2 including scheduling information of PDSCH #2 and transmission resource information of HARQ response #2 with respect to PDSCH #2; and when the transmission resource information of HARQ response #1 is configured as undefined, transmitting, to the base station, HARQ response #1 and HARQ response #2 by using a resource indicated by the transmission resource information of HARQ response #2. Therefore, the performance of the communication system can be improved.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for multiplexing signals using layered division multiplexing are disclosed. A signal multiplexing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a combiner configured to combine a core layer signal and an enhanced layer signal at different power levels, and a time interleaver configured to perform interleaving applied to both the core layer signal and the enhanced layer signal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an active terminal detection method and an active terminal detection device that increase the performance of determining whether a terminal is active by designing a spread code to reduce a cross-correlation value of the spread code of a terminal with a high activation frequency in a massive machine-type communication environment by using deep learning.

Abstract: A bit interleaver, a bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) device and a bit interleaving method are disclosed herein. The bit interleaver includes a first memory, a processor, and a second memory. The first memory stores a low-density parity check (LDPC) codeword having a length of 64800 and a code rate of 7/15. The processor generates an interleaved codeword by interleaving the LDPC codeword on a bit group basis. The size of the bit group corresponds to a parallel factor of the LDPC codeword. The second memory provides the interleaved codeword to a modulator for quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transmitting/receiving a signal by using a variable band width in a communication system are disclosed. An operating method of a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, first configuration information about one or more guard bands of an unlicensed band; confirming the one or more guard bands configured in the unlicensed band on the basis of the first configuration information; and confirming a plurality of RB sets configured in the unlicensed band on the basis of the one or more guard bands. Therefore, performance of the communication system can be improved.

Abstract: A low density parity check (LDPC) encoder, an LDPC decoder, and an LDPC encoding method are disclosed. The LDPC encoder includes first memory, second memory, and a processor. The first memory stores an LDPC codeword having a length of 64800 and a code rate of 7/15. The second memory is initialized to 0. The processor generates the LDPC codeword corresponding to information bits by performing accumulation with respect to the second memory using a sequence corresponding to a parity check matrix (PCM).
