Abstract:
An operation method of a first cell in a communication system may include: receiving, from a first communication node that is an upper node of the first cell, a first signal including second cell configuration information of a second cell connected with the first communication node and a second communication node that is a lower node of the first cell; identifying, based on the first signal, that the first cell and the second cell are jointly operated by the first communication node as coordinative PCells; transmitting, to the second communication node, a second signal including information on joint operations of the coordinative PCells by the first communication node; and performing communication with the first communication node and the second communication node based on the joint operations of the coordinative PCells.
Abstract:
An operation method of a first communication node connected to a first hub in a communication network may comprise measuring signal qualities for a first radio signal received from the first hub and a second radio signal received from a second hub adjacent to the first hub; calculating a difference in the signal qualities for the first radio signal and the second radio signal; comparing the calculated difference with a plurality of predetermined threshold values for handover of the first communication node; and performing a handover-related procedure indicated by one of the plurality of predetermined threshold values based on a result of the comparison.
Abstract:
In a communication environment using a millimeter wave band, a method and apparatus that enable a base station to process data are provided. A protocol stack is generated based on a characteristic of traffic that is provided to a terminal, and the generated protocol stack is allocated to the terminal. Data to be provided to the terminal is processed according to the generated protocol stack, and data that is processed through a beam that is allocated based on a position vector of the terminal is transmitted.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for allocating a resource in a heterogeneous network environment are provided. In a heterogeneous network environment in which small cells and a macrocell are mixed, a macro base station divides an entire frequency band that is allocated to a corresponding macrocell into a plurality of Frequency Partitions (FPs). The macro base station allocates some of the plurality of FPs to small cells that are included in the macrocell.
Abstract:
In a network including a macrocell and a femtocell, a terminal measures a current mobility state indicating a base station that is currently associated with the terminal and a future mobility state indicating a base station that is to be associated with the terminal in the future, and calculates expectation rewards for the base stations in consideration of information on neighbor base stations provided from a serving base station. In addition, the terminal selects a base station providing the largest expectation reward.
Abstract:
An operation method of a communication node in a millimeter-wave based communication system may comprise when a first communication path between the second base station and the terminal connected to the first base station is not established, transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) request message requesting establishment of the first communication path to the second base station via the first base station; receiving an RRC response message from the second base station via the first base station, the RRC response message being a response to the RRC request message; and establishing the first communication path based on the RRC response message.

Abstract:
A terminal receives access priority information on a plurality of sub-beams configuring a beam from a base station, selects one of a plurality of beams, and selects one of a plurality of sub-beams of the selected beam on the basis of the access priority information to perform a random access.
Abstract:
Provided is an antenna structure of a base station, comprising: at least one beamforming disposed to include an effective beam area having a first diameter and a non-overlapping beam area having a second diameter as a projection criterion of a bottom surface at a spot beam center of a spot beamby considering characteristics, performance, a base station coverage, and a height of the beamforming antenna and disposed so that the second diameter is smaller than the first diameter by a designated size. Accordingly, an enhanced communication based on a millimeter wave is provided.
