20100290416 | CHANNEL SWITCHING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF A BASE STATION AND CHANNEL SWITCHING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF A TERMINAL BASED ON THE COGNITIVE RADIO SYSTEM - In a cognitive radio system, when communication in an operational channel is determined to be discontinued due to that an incumbent user (IU) entering the operational channel that is currently being used or due to that an excessive interference occurring in the operational channel, the operational channel is switched to a pre-arranged channel. However, since some parameters are different between the operational channel and the pre-arranged channel, an initialization procedure has to be performed to allow the cognitive radio system to be adapted to those some parameters. Since an initialization technique aiming for this situation is not developed yet, a conventional cognitive radio system uses a general initialization technique used to initially operate a system. However, the general initialization technique has to allow the system to be adapted to many parameters so that it takes a relatively long initialization time. A channel switching apparatus and method thereof of a base station, which allocates a slot for data exchange with each of a plurality of terminals in a frequency channel that is not used by the IU and thus performs communication, include transmitting a channel switching message for requesting to switch to a backup channel when a signal of the IU is sensed in the frequency channel; transmitting a beacon frame via the backup channel, wherein the beacon frame comprises allocation information about slots which are in the frequency channel and which are respectively allocated to each of the plurality of terminals; and allocating the slot for data exchange with each of the plurality of terminals to the backup channel according to the allocation information, and communicating with each of the plurality of terminals. By doing so, frequency resources between each of networks can be efficiently used, and convenience and efficiency with respect to network operation can be maximized. | 11-18-2010 |
