Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for detecting a collision in a wireless multi-access channel are disclosed. The method of detecting the collision in the wireless multi-access according to an exemplary embodiment includes generating a request-to-send (RTS) message by a transmission terminal, transmitting the RTS message to a reception terminal, and receiving a response message from the reception terminal and determining whether a collision occurs based on a number of pieces of tone information included in the response message.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus related to spatial filtering to select target terminals only located at a predetermined distance among a plurality of target terminals, using a propagation delay between an electromagnetic signal and an acoustic signal are provided. A user terminal transmits the acoustic signal to neighboring terminals to select terminals of which distances from the user terminal correspond to a distance from the user terminal to a target terminal among neighboring terminals. The electromagnetic signal is transmitted to the neighboring terminals in a predetermined transmission delay. Response signals are received from neighboring terminals of which distances from the user terminal are within a predetermined range, among the neighboring terminals that have received the acoustic signal and the electromagnetic signal. The neighboring terminals receive the acoustic signal from the user terminal, and receive the electromagnetic signal transmitted in the transmission delay from the user terminal.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for setting a communication target in a wireless communication system. A method of setting, by a setting device, a communication target in a wireless communication system may include: obtaining a synchronization and a characteristic of a target device by receiving a signal transmitted from the target device during a predetermined period of time; transmitting setting information to the target device based on the synchronization and the characteristic of the target device; and completing setting of the communication target by receiving setting response signal from the target device.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for enabling a device-to-device (D2D) communication, despite an identifier (ID) of a target device being unknown are provided. The apparatus may include a target device determining unit to select primary target devices based on relative distance information between a main device and a target device for communication with the main device, and to determine a final target device based on relative distance information between the main device and each of the primary target devices, a transmitter to transmit, to each of the primary target devices, a selection notification message and a relative distance information request message that are generated by the target device determining unit, and a receiver to receive, from each of the primary target devices, a response message corresponding to the selection notification message, and relative distance information used to determine a final target device.
