Abstract:
A method of assigning and managing reference signals in a multi-cell environment, and a network device and a terminal for applying the method, are provided. Reference signal patterns may be assigned to multiple femtocells through a long term coordination of a central control unit that is used to control multiple cells.
Abstract:
A frequency tuning apparatus includes: a frequency tuner configured to tune an oscillation frequency of an oscillator based on target information extracted from a mapping table in correspondence to a target frequency, and oscillation information collected from the oscillator; and a frequency compensator configured to compensate for a compensation error between the tuned oscillation frequency and the target frequency based on an offset table.
Abstract:
A device for detecting an interference signal includes an estimator configured to estimate a mean value of received signals output from an analog-digital converter (ADC), a filter configured to filter a low frequency band of the received signals using the estimated mean value to produce filtered received signals, a detector configured to detect, from the filtered received signals, interference signals using a coherent modulation scheme and a non-coherent modulation scheme, and a combiner configured to determine whether interference exists in a frequency channel in response to a result of the interference signal detecting using the coherent modulation scheme and the non-coherent modulation scheme, based on a preset condition.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus to detect an intended packet by a sliding intermediate frequency (SIF) coherent ultra low power (ULP) wireless receiver. The method includes detecting a transition from a noise period to a signal period in a pair of input sequences received, dynamically adjusting a gain of the pair of input sequences in response to the signal period being initiated, distinguishing an intended packet from packets received in preambles included in the pair of input sequences, and compensating for a carrier frequency offset of the intended packet in the signal period.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling an interleaving depth are provided. The interleaving depth controlling method includes performing a modulo operation on an interleaving depth selected to be less than or equal to a maximum interleaving depth and a total number of codewords to obtain a number of remaining codewords; and comparing the total number of the codewords to the interleaving depth, when the number of the remaining codewords excludes “0”, to control the interleaving depth.
Abstract:
An aperture-coupled microstrip antenna and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The aperture-coupled microstrip antenna includes a radiating patch including an aperture, and a ground plane disposed below the radiating patch. The aperture-coupled microstrip antenna further includes a shorting wall connecting the radiating patch with the ground plane, and a microstrip feeder configured to apply electromagnetic waves to the aperture.
Abstract:
A gateway and method thereof are provided to communicate with sensor nodes. The gateway includes a generator configured to generate, based on schedule information on a previous uplink interval, response data. The gateway also includes an allocator configured to allocate a subsequent uplink interval to the sensor nodes to generate schedule information on the subsequent uplink interval. The gateway includes a transmitter configured to transmit the response data and the schedule information on the subsequent uplink interval to the sensor nodes.
Abstract:
A sliding intermediate frequency (IF) receiver and a sliding IF reception method are provided. A first local oscillation signal and a second local oscillation signal may be generated, based on a division ratio of a frequency of the first local oscillation signal to a frequency of the second local oscillation signal that is determined in advance so that an amount of power to be consumed or an error rate of the sliding IF receiver is optimized. A received input signal may be converted to a first IF signal, based on the first local oscillation signal, and the first IF signal may be converted to a second IF signal, based on the second local oscillation signal.
Abstract:
A phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a counter configured to measure voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) information of an oscillator during a mask time, and a frequency tuner configured to tune a frequency of the oscillator to a target frequency, based on a comparison result obtained by comparing the VCO information to target frequency information.
Abstract:
A reception apparatus having a dual reception structure includes a first receiver having a first quality (Q) factor and configured to receive a signal in a predetermined band in response to the first receiver being selected by a reception controller; a second receiver having a second Q factor greater than the first Q factor and configured to receive the signal in the predetermined band in response to the second receiver being selected by the reception controller; and a reception controller configured to select one of the first receiver and the second receiver based on interference information associated with an adjacent band adjacent to the predetermined band.
