Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for transmitting a packet in a wireless communication system. A method for transmitting a packet by a packet transmission apparatus in a wireless communication system includes determining whether the packet is a response packet, and transmitting the packet with a higher channel access opportunity than another packet transmission apparatus of the wireless communication system, if the packet is a response packet.Accordingly, it is possible to solve the problem that the total system performance degrades because a packet transmission apparatus fails to fully use its own transmission time by failing to rapidly receive a response packet even when packets remain to be transmitted in a wireless communication system using a contention-based channel access scheme.

The method includes the operations of: (a) obtaining a first bit of a first minimum value among input values, the number of input values being equal to the number of degrees of the check node, by performing an AND operation on first bits of the input values, the first bits being most significant bits of the input values; (b) obtaining result values by switching and sequentially performing an XOR operation and an OR operation on the first bit of the first minimum value and each of the first bits of the input values; and (c) performing operations (a) and (b) on the result values set as input values and performing operations (a) and (b) a number of times corresponding to the number of bits of each input value, that is, repeating until last bits are set as input values, to thereby obtain the first minimum value, the last bits being least significant bits of the input values. Accordingly, the complexity of hardware is reduced, and super high-speed processing is possible.
