Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for determining whether a resource is occupied in a mobile communication system and a device therefor. A method for determining a resource occupancy in a mobile communication network according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include calculating an occupancy threshold value based on received power for a transmission-limited resource; and based on a reference signal correlation power value for a specific resource block and the occupancy threshold value, determining whether the specific resource block is occupied.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of an effective and reliable retransmission based on soft combining when using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique in a contention based access system. The method includes receiving a data signal from a transmission node, performing soft combining the valid section part of the data signal which have been previously received and the data signal currently received, determining a collision section of the data signal which is currently received, and saving a valid section part except the collision section of the data signal which is currently received in a buffer. In the contention based access system that uses OFDM modulation technique, in case that data signal reception failure occurs due to a transmission collision, the valid part of the received data signal may be detected and effectively applied to the soft combining, and consequently, the reception probability of data signal can be increased.
