20120114055 | RECEIVING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INPUT BITS OF FAST FOURIER TRANSFORMER ACCORDING TO MODULATION - A technology is provided capable of improving the efficiency of an OFDM system by obtaining the performance in Bit Error Rate (BER) in a wireless communication using OFDM and determining the minimum FFT input bit that produces a SNR difference of 0.1 dB or below with respect to a theoretical BER graph at a desired performance. | 05-10-2012 |
20120163270 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DIVERSITY GAINS FOR MULTICAST SERVICES AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MULTICAST SERVICES USING THE SYSTEM - There are provided a wireless communication system for providing diversity gains for multicast services and a method of providing a multicast service. According to the wireless communication system, by transmitting, when terminals are partially distributed in each cell, data to areas where no user exists so as to reduce interference between other MBS (Multicast Broadcast System) zones and other cells that transmit only unicast services, performance deterioration may be minimized. | 06-28-2012 |
20120163272 | METHOD OF SETTING UP DYNAMIC MULTICAST AND BROADCAST SERVICE ZONE FOR PROVIDING MOBILE INTERNET PROTOCOL TELEVISION SERVICE - A technology of setting up a MBS zone for providing a mobile IPTV service is provided in which the MBS zone is effectively managed, so that QoS is prevented from being degraded due to the handover delay that is caused by a MBS handover occurring when a user moves between MBS zones. | 06-28-2012 |
20120166801 | MUTUAL AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOBILE TERMINALS - Provided is a technique for mutual authentication between different kinds of objects (devices, apparatuses, users, etc.) by expanding the kinds of objects that are subject to authentication, such as authentication between users, authentication between users and an apparatuses (devices, equipment, terminals, etc.), and authentication between apparatuses (devices, equipment, terminals, etc.). | 06-28-2012 |
20130155939 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACQUIRING INITIAL SYNCHRONIZATION USING RELAY-AMBLE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method and an apparatus for acquiring initial synchronization in a wireless communication system are provided. A relay station determines whether or not the initial synchronization is acquired, determines a start position of a frame using a peak of an autocorrelation signal detected based on a preamble and a relay-amble (R-amble) received from a base station in the case in which the initial synchronization is not acquired, and determines the start position of the frame using a peak of an autocorrelation signal detected based on the relay-amble received from the base station in the case in which the initial synchronization is acquired. | 06-20-2013 |
20130188548 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING DYNAMIC MBS ZONE FOR MACRO-DIVERSITY GAIN IN CELLULAR SYSTEM - A method of configuring a multicast/broadcast service (MBS) zone in a base station is provided. The method includes determining whether terminals connected for communication are positioned in a boundary area of a cell by calculating positions of the terminals, and deciding an MBS zone of the terminals positioned in the boundary area of the cell. | 07-25-2013 |
