Abstract: Provided is a method for dynamic resource allocation of uplink and downlink in an OFDMA/TDD cellular system. The method for dynamic resource allocation of uplink in an OFDMA/TDD cellular system includes the steps of determining the number of sub-channels which can be allocated to each user through an FLR algorithm; performing channel allocation for a first frame through a round-robin algorithm in which channel information is not needed; performing dynamic channel allocation for a next frame through uplink channel information measured by uplink channel sounding; and performing power control.

Abstract: Provided are a synchronization apparatus and method for improving timing estimation performance in an OFDM-FDMA/CDMA/TDMA system, which can correctly estimate symbol timing through a more correct timing metric using a guard interval of a preamble. The synchronization apparatus includes an auto-correlator for calculating an auto-correlation value of a received signal and a signal delayed by a predetermined time, a power detector for calculating power of the received signal, a timing metric/normalizer for normalizing the auto-correlation value by dividing the auto-correlation value by the calculated power to obtain a timing metric, and a peak detector for finding a peak value of the timing metric to estimate a frame starting position and an initial symbol timing. The auto-correlator calculates an auto-correlation length as long as a length of a guard interval, considering the preamble characteristic that the patterns are repeated in the time domain.
