Abstract:
A method and system for determining a communication mode in a communication system are provided. The system and method include determining whether a first MS and a second MS are located within a preset area where P2P communications are available, estimating a first expected performance that can be achieved when the first and second MSs operate in a cellular communication mode, estimating a second expected performance that can be achieved when the first and second MSs operate in a P2P communication mode if the first and second MSs are located within the predetermined area, and selecting one of the cellular communication mode and the P2P communication mode as a communication mode between the first and second MSs by comparing the first expected performance with the second expected performance.
Abstract:
A method for managing an Ethernet ring network of a VLAN-based bridge is provided that includes: registering a major-ring VLAN ID (VID) in a ring port filtering database of a ring protection link owner node in accordance with a request for registering the major ring VID from an Ethernet Ring Protection controller mounted on the ring protection link owner node of a major ring; delivering, by the ring protection link owner node, a VID registration message to other nodes which belong to the major ring through a ring port; receiving the VID registration message through the ring port and registering the major ring VID in a ring port filtering database of each node itself, by each node belonging to the major ring; and delivering, by each node belonging to the major ring, the VID registration message to other nodes belonging to the major ring through the ring port.
Abstract:
A hybrid SAR ADC can be implemented to reduce the number of operations that are executed to convert an analog input signal into its digital representation. Pipeline processing operations can be executed on the analog input signal to generate pipeline bits (MSBs of the digital representation) and an analog residue signal. The analog residue signal can be compared against a plurality of thresholds to generate comparator bits that are indicative of a range associated with a subset of the predetermined thresholds that correspond to the analog residue signal. Successive approximation analog-to-digital conversion operations can be executed on the analog residue signal to generate successive approximation bits. The digital representation can be determined based, at least in part, on the pipeline bits, the comparator bits, and the successive approximation bits.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for supporting Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communications in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. A frame used by the terminal in P2P communications includes a plurality of P2P contention channels overlapping with a region for cellular communications and at least one P2P dedicated channel allocated by a base station only for the P2P communications. The method includes establishing a P2P connection with a correspondent terminal through the at least one P2P dedicated channel, and exchanging P2P communication data with the correspondent terminal through at least one of the plurality of P2P contention channels.

Abstract:
A method for mitigating interference at a small base station in a hierarchical cell structure is provided. In the method, the small base station checks a sub-frame allocated to macro user equipment by using a downlink signal received from a macro base station when an interference candidate user equipment list is received. The interference candidate user equipment list contains information on the macro user equipment adjacent to a femto cell controlled by the small base station. Then the small base station allocates other sub-frame to femto user equipment located in the femto cell by avoiding the sub-frame allocated to the macro user equipment.
