Abstract:
A receiving device and method using a single RF chain includes a reception antenna module radiating a plurality of orthogonal beam patterns to receive a signal, a single RF chain processing a reception signal from the reception antenna module, a signal component extracting unit extracting a reception signal component corresponding to each beam pattern using the reception signal received through the reception antenna module and the single RF chain and a code value previously allocated to the plurality of beam patterns, and a beam pattern controller controlling a beam pattern radiated by the reception antenna module.
Abstract:
A discovery method is provided by a device in a D2D direction communication. The device selects a discovery resource unit from among discovery resource units which are not being used after listening during one or more discovery resource periods. The device transmits a first discovery signal through the selected discovery resource unit in a broadcasting manner at a first discovery resource period, and transmits a second discovery signal through the selected discovery resource unit in a query-based manner at a second discovery resource period.
Abstract:
A D2D direct communication method is provided. The device sets at least one frame among a plurality of frames included in a superframe to a frame type 0 which is sectionized into a synchronization region for performing a synchronization procedure, a discovery region for discovering devices, a peering region for a connection, and a data region for scheduling of resources and data transmission. The device sets remaining frames among the plurality of frames to a frame type 1 which is sectionized into the synchronization region and the data region.
Abstract:
A synchronization method by a device is provided in a device-to-device direct communication. The device receives synchronization signals from a plurality of other devices at a current frame, and estimates a synchronization time at a next frame based on the synchronization signals received from the other devices.
Abstract:
A device transmits a discovery signal including identification information of the device in an empty discovery slot among a plurality of discovery slots of a discovery interval. The discovery signal includes two orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. One of the two orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols includes at least one tone. The identification information of the device is displayed by a position of a subcarrier corresponding to the at least one tone.
