Abstract:
A method and apparatus provide interference mitigation in a heterogeneous network using beamforming. In the method, a macro Mobile Station (MS) receives a broadcast message including a Precoding Matrix Index (PMI) set restricted in a macro cell, measures a Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and a channel power from an adjacent femto Base Station (BS) and calculates a PMI, determines whether to request a dedicated frequency resource for a macro MS on the basis of the measured SINR, the channel power from the adjacent femto BS, and the calculated PMI, and requests the dedicated frequency resource for the macro MS from a macro BS.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for initial ranging in a wireless communication system including a heterogeneous network. An operation of a terminal includes selecting a serving cell considering a biased value of a base station applying range expansion. The operation also includes receiving ranging code classification information and threshold information associated with the serving cell. The operation further includes, if a channel quality with the serving cell is less than the threshold, selecting one a plurality of poor-expected-ranging codes indicated by the ranging code classification information, and performing initial ranging using the selected poor-expected-ranging code.

Abstract:
A calibration apparatus and a calibration method for multicell Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission in a multiple antenna system are provided. More particularly, an operating method of a Mobile Station (MS) for performing calibration for multicell MIMO transmission in a multiple antenna system includes negotiating a multi-Base Station (BS) joint processing with a BS, receiving a control message including information instructing multi-BS calibration for sounding based on the multi-BS joint processing, from the BS; when receiving the control message involving the multi-BS joint processing, generating a second sounding sequence by mapping estimated phases of downlink channels per subcarrier of BSs to a first sounding sequence allocated from the BS, and transmitting the second sounding sequence, including the phases of the downlink channels per subcarrier, over a sounding symbol interval with respect to each of the BSs involving the multi-BS joint processing. Hence, feedback overhead in the calibration of the multicell MIMO transmission can be reduced.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method support various system bandwidths in a broadband wireless communication system. A Mobile Station (MS) operation includes determining a system bandwidth through a primary preamble for frame synchronization, which a Base Station (BS) transmits. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) size, the number of guard subcarriers, and the number of used subcarriers corresponding to the system bandwidth are determined using a first table. An operation parameter of a modem is set according to the FFT size, the number of guard subcarriers, and the number of used subcarriers.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for obtaining synchronization of a terminal for communication between devices when a base station collapses are provided. The method includes, when a preamble signal is not received from the base station, maintaining a first synchronization for a predetermined time using a timer, transmitting a first preamble signal at a first synchronization point, performing a synchronization procedure with at least one neighbor terminal based on the first preamble signal, and, after the synchronization procedure, performing communication with the at least one neighbor terminal. In addition, when a preamble signal is not received from a base station, a first preamble signal from a relevant neighbor terminal is monitored for a predetermined time. When the first preamble signal is not received from the relevant neighbor terminal for the predetermined time, a second preamble signal is transmitted at an arbitrary point.

A method to transmit a packet of a BS in a communication system using a HARQ scheme is provided. The method includes assigning resource for transmitting a packet to a mobile station, and transmitting a first packet to the mobile station using the assigned resource; transmitting timing information on which a second packet is transmitted to the mobile station when the BS does not receive information indicating that the mobile station decoded the first packet successfully or when the BS receives information indicating that the mobile station failed to decode the first packet; and transmitting the second packet to the mobile station on a timing point corresponding to the timing information.

An apparatus and a method for supporting periodic multicast transmission in a machine type communication system are provided. A method for operating a Base Station (BS) in a communication system includes allocating persistent resources for data transmission of a service group, selecting at least one MS to feed back a success/failure in receiving a map including the persistent resource allocation information, among Mobile Stations (MSs) to receive the persistent resource allocation information, and transmitting the map including the persistent resource allocation information and information indicating the selected MS.
Abstract:
A Mobile Station (MS) operation method for cell selection at initial access in a wireless communication system in which one or more small Base Stations (BSs) are included within a macro BS service coverage area is provided. The method includes performing synchronization based on a preamble signal, after performing the synchronization, transmitting a ranging code to a first BS, after transmitting the ranging code, transmitting a ranging request message including position information of the MS, to the first BS, and receiving a ranging response message including information on at least one candidate BS from the first BS. Thus, the MS can select a BS using position information of the MS in a wireless communication system in which various types of BSs coexist.
