Abstract:
A method and apparatus for generating pilot signals in a mobile communication system and a method of estimating a frequency offset using the same are provided. In an environment in which a terminal moves at a high speed, pilot signals are disposed at a first interval in a first range of a transmission frame forming a single transmission unit. Furthermore, pilot signals are disposed at a second interval in a second range of the transmission frame. A frequency offset is estimated based on the pilot signals.

A method for operating a communication node for resource allocation in a communication network includes: allocating first data and a first pilot for a first type service to a first block period of a first subframe; allocating second data and a second pilot for a second type service to a second block period overlapping with the first block period; and transmitting the first subframe to another communication node. Here, at least one of the second data and the second pilot is allocated to an area to which the first data is allocated.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for estimating a signal generation position based on signal strength, including: measuring a first signal strength which is a strength of a signal propagated from a generation position of the signal at a first measurement point; measuring a second signal strength which is a strength of the signal propagated from the generation position of the signal at a second measurement point distinguished from the first measurement point; calculating an attenuation constant of a medium to which the signal is propagated from the generation position up to the first measurement point and the second measurement point; and estimating the generation position by using the first signal strength, the second signal strength, and the attenuation constant, wherein the first measurement point, the second measurement point, and the generation position are present on one straight line. This method can be extended to estimate a signal generation point in 2D plane or 3D space.
Abstract:
In a communications system using a plurality of beams, a terminal determines a beam to be communicated with the terminal among the plurality of beams, determines one sequence among sequences allocated to the determined beam as a beam based random access preamble, and transmits the beam based random access preamble through the determined beam. In addition, if a random access response for the beam based random access preamble is not received from a base station for a set interval, the terminal determines one sequence among sequences in a cell based random access preamble collection as a cell based random access preamble and transmits the cell based random access preamble.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for feeding back a channel quality indicator (CQI) by a terminal. The terminal receives, from a base station, at least one reference signal through at least one of multiple beams of the base station. The terminal measures a signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for the at least one reference signal. The terminal determines a first level corresponding to the measured SINR among levels of a first CQI. In addition, the terminal feeds back the first CQI having the first level to the base station.
