Abstract:
An apparatus and method for estimating a channel in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is provided. The apparatus and method includes estimating a channel corresponding to a pilot of a received signal, performing a first estimation on a data channel by performing time-domain linear interpolation on pilots of previous and next symbols of the pilot using the channel estimate, performing Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filtering on the channel estimate and the data channel estimate of the pilots of the previous and next symbols of the pilot, and performing a second estimation on the data channel by performing frequency-domain linear interpolation on a remaining zone which excludes the pilot and the zone that underwent the first estimation.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for reducing an error vector magnitude in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver. The method includes the steps of inputting a receiving symbol including a guard interval and an effective symbol interval following the guard interval, in which a front portion of the guard interval and a rear portion of the effective symbol interval have windowing intervals corresponding to windowing of a transmitter, and replacing a signal of the rear windowing interval with a signal of an interval between the front windowing interval and the effective symbol interval, thereby outputting a signal of the effective symbol interval, which substitutes for a signal of the rear windowing interval, to a fast Fourier transform (FFT) section.
Abstract:
Provided is an unmanned mail/courier management system and method which can unmannedly receive a delivery of mail or a courier item, and can unmannedly store and receive a delivered mail or courier item. The system invention provides a configuration that enables a work, which is performed for unmanned reception and storage through interworking between an unmanned reception machine and a management server through a network in the art, to be input through and processed by a user terminal, and thus, does not require construction of a network for interworking with the management server in the unmanned reception machine for implementation thereof, thereby enabling easy installation of the unmanned reception machine, and minimizing a standby time by omitting a procedure of directly inputting in the unmanned reception machine.
