| 20100005356 | Method and apparatus for combining hybrid automatic repeat request data in wireless communication system - A receiving method and apparatus for combining Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) data in a wireless communication system are provided. More particularly, a method and apparatus for increasing HARQ combining capability while effectively using a limited-sized memory are provided. The receiving method for combining the HARQ data includes predicting a maximum size of currently receivable data, converting HARQ data received from a transmitting end into Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) information, determining whether the received HARQ data is retransmitted data, if the determination result shows that the HARQ data is not the retransmitted data, determining whether the converted LLR information is compressed according to the predicted maximum data size, and storing the converted LLR information in a memory according to the determination result on whether compression is necessary. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100122099 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER CONSUMPTION IN A MULTI MODEM SYSTEM - An apparatus and a method for controlling power consumption in a system having a plurality of modems are provided. In the method, whether an interrupt is generated in each modem is detected. An amount of current consumption of the system at a processing point of the generated interrupt is determined. The amount of current consumption of the system is compared with a threshold, so that the processing point of the generated interrupt is controlled. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20110003570 | CHANNEL DETERMINATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF BROADCAST RECEIVER - A channel determination apparatus and method for a broadcast receiver are provided. The method includes estimating, when the broadcast receiver operates in a sleep state over a preset time period, inter-modulation distortion interference of a plurality of channels by scanning the channels, and receiving, when the sleep state is transitioned to an active state, broadcast data on a channel having the least inter-modulation distortion interference. Accordingly, the inter-modulation distortion interference of individual channels is taken into account to select an optimum channel, thereby resulting in improvement of channel determination accuracy. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110058484 | PACKET DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIGITAL BROADCAST SYSTEM - A packet decoding method and apparatus of a digital broadcast system is provided for improving decoding performance by reordering blocks to be decoded and adjusting a number of decoding iterations of each block. A packet decoding method of the present invention includes measuring Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) of individual packets within a slot, determining a decoding order of the packets according to the SNRs, and decoding the packets in the decoding order. The decoding method and apparatus of a digital broadcast system according to the present invention performs decoding on the packets having the highest channel estimation performance first with reduced number of decoding iterations and reallocates the saved number of decoding iterations to remaining packets having relatively low channel estimation performance, thereby improving the decoding performance of the received packets. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110064170 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING A CHANNEL IN A BROADBAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Channel estimation in a broadband wireless communication system is provided. A receiver includes a frequency interpolator for interpolating in a frequency axis using at least one of channel estimation values estimated through pilot signals and channel estimation values generated using a time-axis interpolation, a determiner for determining a compensation coefficient to compensate for edge distortion using the channel estimation values estimated through the pilot signals, and a compensator for generating a completed channel estimation value by multiplying a channel estimation value generated by interpolating in the frequency axis, by the compensation coefficient. | 03-17-2011 |
