Provided are a method and an apparatus for avoiding a collision between each of radio frequency identification (RFID) readers. The method and the apparatus divide the RFID readers into first RFID readers and second RFID readers according to a maximum output level, and set first frequency channels for the first RFID readers and second frequency channels for the second RFID readers, set frequency channel disposition information for each of the first RFID readers, generate a channel holding signal in each of the first frequency channels, and if a frequency channel usage request or a frequency channel return request is received from one of the first RFID readers, stop generating or generate the channel holding signal in a frequency channel related to the frequency channel usage or return request. In this manner, the collision between each of the RFID readers is avoided by preventing the second RFID readers from using the first frequency channels for the first RFID readers. Also, the method and the apparatus can efficiently manage frequency channels by controlling a ratio of the number of the first frequency channels to be used by the first RFID readers and the number of the second frequency channels to be used by the second RFID readers, according to usage frequency.

Provided is a method of constructing a tree network which includes a first node. The method comprises: (a) the first node determining if there is a child node and requesting a parent node to allow the first node to withdraw if there is no child node; (b) selecting a child node based on remaining amounts of battery power of each child node if there are child nodes of the first node; (c) exchanging positions of the first node and the selected child node and requesting the parent node to allow the first node to withdraw if the child node selected in operation (b) does not have child nodes; and (d) repeating operations (b) and (c) if the child node selected in operation (b) has child nodes. The present invention solves the problem of decreasing lifetimes of upper nodes that consume more battery power than lower nodes due to more traffic transmission and reception.

Provided are an LDPC decoding apparatus and method using a sequential decoding algorithm having a partial group, capable of reducing the number of an iterative decoding by more than half without degrading the performance and increasing an amount of computation. The LDPC decoding method includes the steps of: receiving a prior probability information (channel values) based on information on channel values associated with distance between symbol signals in constellation related to the received noise and LDPC encoded data, and initializing bit nodes; dividing check nodes into partial groups before updating check node information based on the prior probability information, and performing a decoding by applying a sequential decoding algorithm; determining whether a parity check equations are satisfied; and outputting decoded messages obtained when satisfying the parity check equation or after terminating an iterative processor by a termination algorithm.
