  • Patent number: 9036550
    Abstract: A direct communication method between terminals is provided. When a terminal receives a plurality of synchronization information parts, the terminal selects synchronization information to acquire a reference time among the plurality of synchronization information parts according to a priority. Here, the priority is an order of first synchronization information that is received from a base station, second synchronization information that is received from a global positioning system (GPS), and third synchronization information that is received from a terminal in which a hop count from the base station or the GPS is small.

  • Publication number: 20150103778
    Abstract: A cooperation MIMO transmitting or receiving method is disclosed. A master terminal calculates a first signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), which is SINR between the mater terminal and a base station or between the master terminal and another cluster, and the master terminal calculates a second SINR, which is SINR between a slave terminal and the master terminal. Here, the master terminal forms a cluster with the slave terminal when the second SINR is higher than the first SINR.

  • Patent number: 8934448
    Abstract: Disclosed is a handover method in a wireless portable Internet system. When a mobile subscriber station is in a drop state, a ranging request message including an identifier of a previous base station and a string generated by encoding the ranging request message using an authentication key of the previous base station is sent to a target base station. The target base station requests the previous base station to execute handover of the mobile subscriber station using the identifier of the previous base station included in the ranging request message. The previous base station carries out message authentication using the encoded string received from the target base station, and when the authentication is successful, transmits information about the mobile subscriber station that is required for handover to the target base station. Accordingly, a ceaseless service session can be provided even in the drop state.

    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a resource management method performed by a coordinator for controlling interference between cells. The coordinator receives a channel state of a second base station neighboring a first base station from the first base station. The coordinator partitions a resource based on the channel state. The coordinator allocates the partitioned resource to the first base station. In addition, the coordinator transmits a first message requesting resource management to be set to the first base station. Here, the first message includes information on the allocated resource.
