The scheduling method includes: determining an aggregation level of a common search space of a PDCCH by considering channel quality of a plurality of user equipments (UEs); identifying the number of PDCCH candidates and the number of messages, which require allocation of the common search space, based on the determined aggregation level and selecting messages by a smaller number of the number of messages and the number of PDCCH candidates; and allocating PDCCH resources and physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resources for the selected messages. In a situation where the PDCCH resources are shared by downlink scheduling information and uplink scheduling information of different UEs, the PDCCH resource-based scheduling method can be used by the base station to efficiently utilize the PDCCH resources.

Abstract: A system and method for reassembling packets in a packet relay node are provided. A packet relay node located between a transmitting node (i.e., a source node) and a receiving node (i.e., a destination node) inspects received packets to see if they are fragmented packets and reassembles a series of packets decided to be fragmented packets into an original packet, thereby reducing overhead and radio resource waste caused by duplicate transmission of IP headers having the same fragmented-packet information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the method and data sharing system which establishes an access right for data to share in pure or hybrid P2P environment and thus decides to open and share the data in accordance with which whether a recipient peer has the access right or not, thereby protecting the data from the access of the unspecified public and preventing the data from spreading in an improper manner. Also, since the existence of the data is not open to recipients with no having access right, the method and data sharing system according to the present invention has an effect of protecting the copyright and privacy of a data provider.
