Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a synchronization signal in a talk-around direct communication network is provided. The method includes: determining one of a plurality of second windows included in a first window as a synchronization reception window; selecting one of a plurality of synchronization slots included in the second windows as a first synchronization slot; transmitting a first synchronization signal through the first synchronization slot included in the second windows, excluding the synchronization reception window; detecting a second synchronization signal transmitted from other terminals using the first synchronization slot included in the synchronization reception window; and determining that a collision from amongst the synchronization signals has occurred based on the detection result.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a base station is disclosed that provides service to a first terminal and a second terminal having higher priority than the first terminal. The base station determines whether there is an influx of call connection attempts when the lower-priority terminal and the higher-priority terminal perform ranging. If it is determined that there is an influx of call connection attempts, the base station sets the initial ranging backoff window size included in an information element of S-SFH SP3 (Secondary-Superframe Header SubPacket3) to a first size. If it is determined that there is an influx of call connection attempts, the base station sets the initial ranging backoff window size for the second terminal in an AAI-SCD (Advanced Air Interface-System Configuration Descriptor) message to a second size. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve a high probability of success of initial ranging of a higher-priority terminal.
