Abstract:
A beamforming apparatus and method for expanding coverage of a control channel are provided, by which neighboring communication devices are classified according to the number of beams that they can receive, and therefore the frequency or period of beam transmission is adjusted to transmit a control channel by a beamforming method. Hence, an overhead reduction and an increase in transmission rate can be achieved, and coverage holes can be prevented.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a base station transmitting multiple beams to multiple beam areas, including: a determination unit determining at least any one of whether a downlink control signal is transmitted through the multiple beams transmitted to the multiple beam areas and a transmission section; a generation unit generating signal transmitting control information including at least any one of whether the downlink control signal is transmitted, the transmission section of the downlink control signal, and derivation information to derive a change of an access beam for a terminal that accesses the multiple beams; a communication unit downlink-transmitting the signal transmitting control information to the multiple beam areas or the multiple beams; and a control unit controlling transmission of the downlink control signal based on the signal transmitting control information.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus for controlling a wide-band signal transmission gain, which differently applies a transmission gain by the unit of an intermediate frequency (IF) at a transmitting side of a wide-band multi-IF wireless communication system which can convert multiple baseband digital signals into IF signals and thereafter, multiplex and simultaneously transmit the converted IF signals and a signal processing method of the same.
Abstract:
The exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a beam selecting apparatus of a fixed beam terminal, including: a delay time measuring unit which measures delay times of a plurality of signals received through a plurality of beams; a beam selecting unit which compares a threshold value selected based on the measured delay time and a signal strength of each of the plurality of signals to select a beam; and a switching type beam former which operates the plurality of beams in accordance with the selected beam.
