    摘要: Disclosed are an image sensor and a local binning method in which binning is applied selectively. For example, binning is applied to pixels having low illumination and binning is not applied to non-low illumination pixels. Information on pixels having low illumination for a first image frame may be stored and used to perform binning with respect to areas of a second image frame corresponding to low illumination pixel areas determined with respect to the first image frame.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for allocating a channel using an auction algorithm in a wireless communication system. The method includes measuring a data rate of each channel; selecting one of the channels, when information on the channels is received from a base station, using the received information on the channels and the measured data rate; and determining a bidding price of the selected channel. Performance of the entire system can be improved by reducing complexity as well as guaranteeing an optimal value in the channel allocation.
