    Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating an analog beam is provided. The apparatus includes a hybrid beam-forming structure having a small number of digital chains provided in a digital stage and a signal is transmitted and received in a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme. The apparatus includes an analog beam-forming operating unit configured to change the analog beam for a counterpart device for which use of a next frame is to be permitted, upon receiving a request for using the next frame from at least one of multiple devices that transmit and receive signals in units of frames and a communication unit configured to transmit information indicating that the analog beam is changed to permit the use of the next frame by the counterpart device to the multiple devices.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for estimating a road surface type by using an ultrasonic signal and, more particularly, to a method for estimating a road surface type by using an artificial neural network model machine-learned with respect to a reflected ultrasonic signal and an apparatus for performing same. According to the present invention, provided are a method and apparatus for providing highly accurate road surface information at low cost, by machine-learning both characteristics of an ultrasonic signal reflected from a road surface and a road surface state, establishing a model between the two, and then estimating the type of the road surface by utilizing the model. In particular, even a road surface where thin ice, that is, black ice, is formed, which was not detectable in the conventional method for estimating a road-surface friction coefficient, may be accurately estimated, thereby contributing to safer driving.
