Abstract:
An apparatus and method for receiving data in a mobile station for a mobile communication system using multi-user packet data are provided, in which a preamble power measurer measures preamble power of the multi-user packet data received from a base station and transmits the result value to a controller. The controller compares the measured power with a predetermined threshold, simultaneously decodes the multi-user packet data according to all transport formats if the measured power is lower than the threshold, and decodes the multi-user packet data according to a predetermined transport format if the measured power is higher than or equal to the threshold. A plurality of decoders decode the received multi-user packet data according to a control signal from the controller, wherein the number of the decoders depends upon the total number of transport formats for the multi-user packet data.
Abstract:
An organic aluminum precursor includes aluminum as a central metal, and borohydride and trimethylamine as ligands. In a method of forming an aluminum layer or wire, the organic aluminum presursor is introduced onto a substrate, and then thermally decomposed. The aluminum decomposed from the organic aluminum precursor is deposited on the substrate.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for correcting a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of an antenna of a mobile terminal, which can detect if a Micro-Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) reconfigurable antenna for wireless communication contacts a foreign substance, to correct an SNR of the antenna. The mobile terminal having the MEMS reconfigurable antenna changes the MEMS reconfigurable antenna and calculates an SNR during execution of the wireless communication, thereby setting the MEMS reconfigurable antenna to an antenna form corresponding to a greatest SNR.

Abstract:
A hard disk drive that includes a voice coil motor and a micro-actuator. The disk drive includes a servo with a voice coil motor loop, a micro-actuator loop and an overall loop. The servo is calibrated by first calibrating the voice coil motor loop, then calibrating the micro-actuator loop and finally calibrating the overall loop.
Abstract:
A terminal location estimation method in a wireless communication system in which an access point (AP) provides an access service to a plurality of terminals includes defining a plurality of beam spaces around the AP through space multiplexing; scheduling the beam spaces according to a predetermined pattern; simultaneously forming a beam in at least one beam space; and detecting the existence and location of a terminal according to whether a response message in response to the formed beam is received. Accordingly, an AP forms beams in a predetermined scheduling pattern, and each of the terminals detecting the beams registers its location by informing the AP that each of the terminals exists in a relevant beam area, and thus, a location of each of the terminals can be estimated without using a complex DOA algorithm.
Abstract:
An Orthogonal Spatial Multiplexing (OSM) apparatus and method in a closed-loop Multiple Input Multiple Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system are provided. In the OSM method, a basic signal model is set and transmission symbols are encoded. A real-valued system model corresponding to the basic signal model is obtained. To achieve orthogonality, rotations angles are calculated and are applied to the encoded transmission symbols.
Abstract:
A method is provided for efficiently allocating a transmission period in a wireless network system. An access point (AP) transmits a PSMP frame indicating a downlink period provided to each station (STA) and a minimum amount of an uplink period allocated to each STA, and at least one sub PSMP frame indicating an uplink period additionally provided for an STA that transmitted a resource request message for remaining queued data in the uplink period indicated by the PSMP frame. If the uplink period indicated by the PSMP frame is insufficient to transmit the queued data, the STA transmits a data unit including a part of the queued data and a resource request message for the remaining queued data in the uplink period. After transmitting the resource request message, the STA receives the sub PSMP frame after the full period indicated by the sub PSMP frame, and transmits the remaining queued data to the AP in the uplink period indicted by the sub PSMP frame.
