Abstract:
A receiver, such as a mobile station or base station, includes a sliding window-decoder. An antenna in the receiver is configured to receive a protograph-based spatially coupled low density parity check (SC-LDPC) code from a transmitter. The sliding window-decoder is configured to perform a SC-LDPC decoding operation on the SC-LDPC code using a sliding window. The SC-LDPC code includes a parity check matrix. The sliding window includes a subset of protograph sections on which decoding calculations are iteratively performed. The sliding window-decoder performs a stopping rule configured to cease the decoding calculations as a function of a syndrome of one or more check nodes (CNs) in the sliding window.

A method of determining member Base Stations (BSs) providing cooperative communication to a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication system. The method includes when a candidate list of the member BSs generated using at least one of strengths of signals received from adjacent BSs and cell loading state information of the adjacent BSs is received from the MS, selecting candidate BSs having a service quality larger than or equal to a threshold from candidate BSs included in the candidate list as targets to receive a member negotiation; and performing a capability negotiation with each of the selected targets to receive the member negotiation to select final member BSs and transmitting information on the determined final member BSs to the MS.
Abstract:
A method for operating a station (STA) in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The method comprises receiving a resource status request from an access point (AP) communicating with the STA, transmitting a resource status response including an access category (AC) information of UL data that is identified using a traffic identifier. The AC information corresponds to a set of DL queues and a set of UL queues configured at the AP to schedule the STA. The method further comprises receiving a trigger frame from the AP, wherein the trigger frame includes scheduling information of the UL data based on the AC information included in the transmitted resource status response to the AP and processing the scheduling information included in the trigger frame to transmit the UL data to the AP.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for operating a Mobile Station (MS). A service flow is established with a Base Station (BS). Data is transmitted through the service flow to the BS at an access admission time. A first group control signal indicating a data communication interruption for the service flow is received from the BS at an access restriction time. Transmission of the data to the BS is ceased together with the ceasing of a data transmission from another MS of a group according to the first group control signal.
