Patent number: 7894409Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating available throughput of a fixed node in a mobile node of a communication network. The communication network includes fixed nodes connected to a router connected to at least one foreign network and mobile nodes connected to the fixed nodes. A second mobile node is selected from among mobile nodes connected to a fixed node whose available throughput is estimated in a first mobile node. An idle slot interval of the second mobile node connected to the fixed node is set. A transmission probability is measured in one slot interval of the second mobile node through an average of set idle slot intervals. Transmission information of the second mobile node is acquired using the measured transmission probability. The available throughput of the fixed node is estimated using the acquired transmission information.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignees: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Tsinghua UniversityInventors: Hyo-Sun Hwang, Yong-Xing Zhou, Dong-Jun Lee, Jung-Hoon Suh, Kyung-Hun Jang, Young-Soo Kim, Junfeng Jiang, Pingyi Fan, Zhigang Cao

Patent number: 7729333Abstract: In a method for selecting a transmission target terminal in a zero-forcing beamforming algorithm, information about a channel capacity of each terminal is received from all K terminals. A terminal with a largest channel capacity is selected as an initial transmission target terminal. A determination is made as to whether the number of currently selected terminals, i, is equal to the predefined number N. If the number of currently selected terminals, i, is different from the predefined number N, information about channel capacities of remaining terminals except previously selected transmission target terminals is received until i is equal to N and a terminal with a largest channel capacity is selected as a transmission target terminal.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2006Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Assignees: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, Tsinghua UniversityInventors: Jing Wang, Haibo Zheng, Yong-Xing Zhou, Jianjun Li, Sung-Jin Kim
