Abstract:
A method of performing a Network Coding (NC) by a transmitting node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising receiving uplink packets from a plurality of nodes through respective links, grouping the links into at least one group based on channel quality information, each group satisfying a listed range of channel quality information, performing the NC on downlink data for each group and transmitting each scheduling information shared by each group to the at least one respective group. A method of receiving network-coded data in a wireless communication system comprises transmitting an uplink packet to a transmitting node, receiving scheduling information shared by a group of links from the transmitting node, the group of links satisfying a listed range of channel quality information, receiving downlink data on which NC is performed and decoding the downlink data based on the scheduling information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for allocating resources for communication between Base Stations (BSs) in an in-band communication system can be provided by a BS. A method for allocating resources for communication between BSs, performed by a Mobile Station (MS) in an in-band communication system includes receiving information about an interference-free expected area from a BS communicating with the MS through an access link, transmitting to the BS feedback information indicating whether the MS is located in the interference-free expected area based on the information about the interference-free expected area, receiving from the BS a message requesting measurement of a fronthaul link for communication between BSs based on the feedback information, and transmitting a measurement result of the fronthaul link to the BS.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for operating a Mobile Station (MS). A service flow is established with a Base Station (BS). Data is transmitted through the service flow to the BS at an access admission time. A first group control signal indicating a data communication interruption for the service flow is received from the BS at an access restriction time. Transmission of the data to the BS is ceased together with the ceasing of a data transmission from another MS of a group according to the first group control signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for managing a security key for communication authentication with a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication system. The method includes acquiring a first authentication key by performing an authentication procedure for the communication authentication in a cloud cell having member Base Stations (BSs) that include a master BS and at least one slave BS for providing a service to the MS; and communicating with at least one member BS using a first encryption key that is generated using the first authentication key.
Abstract:
A method of providing an optimal transmission or reception (Tx/Rx) beam in a beamforming system. The method includes receiving a reference signal and selecting an optimal Tx/Rx beam that guarantees an optimal channel environment based on the received reference signal determining a possibility of occurrence of a Tx/Rx beam mismatch between the selected optimal Tx/Rx beam and a Tx/Rx beam used for transmitting information on the selected optimal Tx/Rx beam; and when there is the possibility of the occurrence of the Tx/Rx beam mismatch, performing at least one of widening a beam width of the Tx/Rx beam, increasing a number of Tx/Rx beams, reducing a period of a beam selection operation for selecting the optimal Tx/Rx beam, and reducing a transmission period of the reference signal. Other embodiments including a beamforming system are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for handover in a wireless communication system includes: when a received signal strength difference between a serving beam from a serving base station used for communication by a terminal and a target beam of a neighboring base station is equal to or greater than a first threshold value, and a received signal strength difference between an active beam and the target beam is equal to or greater than a second threshold value, determining a handover to the target beam; and transmitting a message to initiate the handover.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus of cooperating with a plurality of base stations in a wireless communication system. A cloud cell is configured with a plurality of base stations that cooperate with each other for a mobile station and synchronizes user contexts for serving the mobile station among the plurality of base stations included in the cloud cell, and the plurality of base stations cooperate with each other to provide a communication service to the mobile station. The present disclosure reduces generation of a handover when the mobile station moves between base stations, and increases the data yield of the mobile station by transmitting and receiving data in cooperation with base stations in a cloud cell at a shaded area or a cell border.
