Abstract:
Disclosed are a MIMO communication system and a method of controlling the same. The MIMO communication system includes an MCS (modulation and coding scheme) level selector for selecting an MCS level representing combination of data modulation and coding schemes according to a channel status, a modulation and coding section for processing transmit data according to modulation and coding schemes corresponding to the selected MCS level, a D-STTD (double-space time transmit diversity) encoder for coding the transmit data, which has been processed through the modulation and coding section, through a D-STTD scheme and transmitting the transmit data through M transmit antennas, and a receiver for receiving data, which have been coded through the D-STTD scheme, through N receive antennas, detecting the received data through an OSIC-MMSE (ordered successive interference cancellation-minimum mean-square error) scheme, and decoding the received data through the modulation and coding schemes employed in the modulation and coding section.
Abstract:
A method for the surface modification of fluoropolymer films using electron beam irradiation to generate superhydrophobic surfaces is provided. This surface modification method can cause simultaneously both a physical modification roughening the fluoropolymer surfaces and a chemical modification changing the surface composition of the fluoropolymers, and therefore fabricating the superhydrophobicity on a fluoropolymer surface by controlling the dose of electron beam irradiation. Therefore, this method for the surface modification of fluoropolymers by electron beam irradiation can be used in the generation of superhydrophobic surfaces required in various industries such as paint, glue, fine chemistry, electrical and electronics, cars, and display manufacturing.
Abstract:
Method of communication between a mobile station and a base station in a mobile communication system of IMT-2000 communication network basis, which is suitable for effective transmission of various multimedia information within a given channel capacity, the method including the steps of (1) when a mobile station receives a data transmission request, providing one portion of a period of a data frame with regular number and arrangement of down link slots and up link slots and the other portion of the data frame with irregular number and arrangement of down link slots or/and up link slots depending on characteristics and amount of subscriber data to be transmitted, (2) determining a transmission type according to which a communication is executed using a competition period for determining priorities of the subscriber data, a reservation period for making a reservation for time slots for use in transmission of the subscriber data, and an assignment period for assigning a memory period according to an amount of the subscriber data, which periods are selectively and respectively included in the one portion of the data frame and in the other portion of the data frame, and (3) providing the data frame according to the transmission type and transmitting to the base station.

Abstract:
A communication system which has a plurality of mobile terminals and a base station, each of the mobile terminals and/or base station comprising a medium access control sub-layer, upper layers of the medium access control sub-layer, and a lower layer of the medium access control sub-layer, wherein the medium access control sub-layer is configured to perform self-basic functions in response to basic function execution requests or functions associated with the upper layers or lower layer in response to requests therefrom. According to the present invention, the communication system can provide a compatible multimedia communication service even if an originating terminal and a terminating terminal employ different communication manners, they are available from different manufacturers or they are operated by different communication service operators.
Abstract:
A method for formatting a signal in a mobile communication system by appending a plurality of medium access control headers to a plurality of medium access control-service data units for data transfer between a mobile statio and network in the mobile communication system. If the service data units have the same characteristics, a medium access control-protocol data unit is formed by successively coupling the service data units to any one of the medium access control headers. If the service data units have different characteristics, the protocol data unit is formed by sequentially coupling each of the service data units and each of the medium access control headers.
