Abstract:
Provided are a transmitter and a method for transmitting a data block in a wireless communication system. The method comprises the following steps: encoding an information bit and generating a block coded with an NCBPSS bit; generating two sub-blocks by parsing the coded block; and transmitting the two sub-blocks to the transmitter. By preventing the bits that are contiguous to the encoding block from having continuous identical reliabilities on a signal constellation, the deterioration of the decoding performance of the transmitter can be prevented.
Abstract:
Provided is an access point (AP) for providing wireless communication to a plurality of stations (STAs), the AP including a type determiner to determine a type of each of the plurality of STAs, and an association identification (AID) allocator to allocate AIDs to the plurality of STAs, respectively, based on the determined type such that AIDs corresponding to an identical type among the allocated AIDs are clustered.
