Abstract:
A communication apparatus and method in a wireless communication system that support multiple Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) parameter sets. A method includes determining a respective OFDM parameter set for each of multiple Radio Frequency (RF) chains; and processing an OFDM signal in each of the multiple RF chains based on a parameter value defined in the respective OFDM parameter set.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for providing a relay service in a Base Station (BS) of a communication system are provided. The method includes detecting a communication state with a backhaul of the communication system, transmitting backhaul error occurrence information to at least one Mobile Station (MS) located in a service coverage area when communication with the backhaul is interrupted, selecting a neighbor BS from among one or more neighbor BSs as a target BS, and providing a relay service by connecting with the target BS.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for effectively transmitting periodically generated group data of a serving group in a Machine to Machine (M2M) communication system are provided. A method includes determining whether a persistent resource for group data of an M2M communication service group is allocated, if the persistent resource is not allocated, configuring the persistent resource for the group data and transmitting allocation information for the persistent resource to at least one Subscriber Station (SS) registered to the service group, and multicasting the group data to the at least one SS by using the persistent resource.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for supporting a location update registration process used for an idle mode operation of a Mobile Station (MS) in a Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication are provided. The method includes determining whether a system global location update registration timer is applied to the MS, when it is determined that the global location update registration timer is not applied, determining a timer for updating a location when the MS operates in an idle mode, and transmitting a message including the timer to the MS.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for transmitting and receiving an Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) feedback message in a wireless communication system are provided. A method for receiving an ARQ feedback message at a transmitting unit in a wireless communication system includes allocating a fixed-size resource for transmitting an ARQ feedback message, to a receiving unit, the resource being an unsolicited bandwidth, and receiving an ARQ feedback message or a resource request message from the receiving unit over the fixed-size resource allocated.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for transmitting ACKnowledge (ACK) channels by a Relay Station (RS) in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes, when receiving one or more ACK information from one or more lower nodes, checking ACK channel constitution information provided from an upper node, arranging one or more ACK channels to transmit corresponding ACK information according to the ACK channel constitution information by distinguishing ACK information of one or more data scheduled by the upper node and ACK information of one or more retransmission data not scheduled by the upper node, and transmitting the one or more ACK information to the upper node in the arranged ACK channels.
Abstract:
A Relay Station (RS) apparatus and an operation method for managing a Quality of Service (QoS) in a broadband wireless communication system with multi-hop relay communication are provided. The operation method of the RS includes, if generation of a service flow is requested from a Portable Subscriber Station (PSS) accessing the RS, allocating a first downlink IDentifier (ID) corresponding to the service flow to a first tunnel between a Base Station (BS) and the RS, transmitting the first downlink ID to the BS and requesting the BS to establish a second tunnel between the BS and an Access Control Router (ACR) for the service flow, receiving a response to the request of establishing the second tunnel and a first uplink ID corresponding to the service flow and allocated to the first tunnel, and storing the first uplink ID.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for reducing an overhead resulting from an transition gap in a Relay Station (RS) of a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) wireless communication system are provided. The method includes determining transmission/reception transition time information through a negotiation with an upper node, identifying a signal delay time with the upper node, identifying a first reference time (R_Idle_Time), determining an overhead of a DownLink (DL) frame and an overhead of an UpLink (UL) frame resulting from transmission/reception transition in consideration of at least one of the transition time information, the signal delay time, the first reference time, and a second reference time (Idle_Time), and performing communication based on the overhead of the DL frame and the overhead of the UL frame.
Abstract:
A communication device and method using a cooperative transmission and network coding transmission scheme are provided. A mobile station (MS) includes a data receiving unit to receive network coding data transmitted from at least one relay station (RS) and downlink data transmitted from a base station (BS), and a data transmission unit to transmit uplink data to the BS and the at least one RS, wherein the BS transmits the downlink data to the at least one RS.
Abstract:
A multihop relay wireless communication system is provided. A Base Station (BS) includes a calculator for calculating an ACKnowledge (ACK)/Non ACK (NACK) transmission time of at least one Relay Station (RS) using retransmission parameter values, and a transmitter for transmitting the ACK/NACK transmission time information to the at least one RS.
