| 20130058280 | PAGING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR E-MBS TERMINAL IN MULTI-CARRIER SYSTEM - The present invention provides a method for receiving a paging message of an idle-mode terminal in a multi-carrier system, comprising the steps of: receiving, from a network, a paging message through a first carrier corresponding to a predetermined condition in a paging listening interval; transmitting, to the network, a first ranging request message that includes control information indicative of a location updating procedure for notifying a start of E-MBS service reception; determining, as a paging carrier, a second carrier from which an E-MBS service is transmitted; and receiving the paging message from the network through the determined second carrier. | 2013-03-07 |
| 20130058281 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REAL TIME CONTROL OF AN ACTIVE ANTENNA OVER A DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM - A method and system suitable for supporting various wireless services on a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). The DAS can provide wireless services including voice and data services using the same equipment. The DAS can include one or more active antenna units controlled by an access point, and includes control channels for transferring control and status information between the access point and the antenna. The control channels can be transferred over a separate cable, or transferred using one or more intermediate frequency signals transferred over existing cables. The control channels can be used to configure and control and receive status from the managed components of the DAS including active antennas, control the amplifiers used to process TDD signals, and control the switching of diversity antenna systems. | 2013-03-07 |
| 20130058282 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, BASE STATION APPARATUS, USER APPARATUS AND METHOD - A communication apparatus in a mobile communication system includes a first control information generation unit configured to generate first control information including retransmission information on a previously received data channel, a second control information generation unit configured to generate second control information including scheduling information on radio resources and a transmission signal generation unit configured to generate a transmission signal including a lower layer control channel including at least one of the first control information and the second control information. The transmission signal generation unit generates the transmission signal to transmit the first control information in any of subframes arriving at a first cycle and to transmit the second control information in any of subframes arriving at a second cycle longer than the first cycle. | 2013-03-07 |
