There are provided an antenna apparatus and a method of handover using the antenna apparatus. The antenna apparatus may comprise a plurality of antenna elements forming a plurality of beams in a predetermined service area. The plurality of antenna elements are arranged in a plurality of rows, and a number of antenna elements included in an uppermost row of the plurality of rows is smaller than a number of antenna elements included in a downmost row of the plurality of rows, and differences between center angles of beams formed by the antenna elements included in the downmost row are larger than differences between center angles of beams formed by the antenna elements included in the uppermost row.
Abstract:
A method of determining a position of a terminal in a communication system using multiple beams is provided. The method includes receiving a first beam from a first point, receiving a second beam from a second point, and determining a position of the terminal by use of information about the first beam and information about the second beam, so that in a case in which two or more effective beams are received in a system using multiple beams, the position of the terminal is determined by use of the angle of a beam, and information about coordinates of departure of a beam and/or coordinates of final arrival of a beam without using a positioning device, such as GPS.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein relates to a resource allocation method for a machine type communication (MTC) device. The resource allocation method for the MTC device includes allocating a control channel with respect to a user terminal to a first time domain of a sub frame, and mixing at least one of a control channel with respect to the at least one MTC device, a data channel with respect to the user terminal, and a data channel with respect to the MTC device in a second time domain of the sub frame, and allocating the mixed channel to the second time domain of the sub frame. Accordingly, in a wireless communication system, control information and data may be transmitted and received to and from the MTC device while maintaining compatibility with the user terminal.
Abstract:
A method of estimating a channel of a base station in a communication system using an IRS may comprise: receiving a first signal through a direct path between a terminal and the base station from the terminal and a second signal through an indirect path through the IRS from the terminal; estimating a first angle of arrival of the second signal received from the IRS; estimating a second angle of arrival of a signal transmitted to the IRS by the terminal based on the estimated first angle of arrival; estimating a third angle of arrival of the first signal received from the terminal based on the estimated first angle of arrival; and estimating path gains on the direct path and the indirect path based on the estimated first angle of arrival to the estimated third angle of arrival.
Abstract:
A method in which a base station transmits pilot signals in a multiple-antenna communication system is provided. The base station includes some of the plurality of pilot signals distinguished by at least one of time domain symbols, subcarriers, and orthogonal codes in a first set to which a first random number is applied. The base station includes the remaining pilot signals, excluding the pilot signals that are included in the first set, in a second set that uses the same resources as used by the first set and to which a second random number different from the first random number is applied. The base station transmits at least one of the pilot signals that belong to the first set and the second set.
Abstract:
A base station allocates a first frequency resource and a first time resource for first information that is included in a first physical channel and second information that is included in a second physical channel. The base station multi-transmits the first physical channel and the second physical channel through spatial multiplexing.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for generating a random access signal of a machine type communication (MTC) device using a narrow bandwidth, and an MTC device. The method generates a random access signal by allocating a position in a frequency domain of a random access signal dedicated to the MTC device, that is, a position of a frequency for transmission of a random access preamble, to a center position of a base station system bandwidth, or by shifting a center frequency of the MTC device to a position of a random access frequency allocated for a legacy LTE terminal by a base station.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting downlink control information in a base station that operates a plurality of beams in one cell includes: configuring an individual control channel region allocated to each of the plurality of beams; configuring a shared control channel region shared with first and second beams that are adjacent to each other among the plurality of beams; allocating a control channel of a terminal positioned in a service coverage of the first beam to one of an individual control channel region of the first beam and the shared control channel region shared with the first and second beams; and in a case where the control channel of the terminal is allocated to the shared control channel region shared with the first and second beams, forming the first and second beams such that user control information of the terminal is transmitted through the shared control channel region shared with the first and second beams.
Abstract:
When a terminal of a mobile communication system using a plurality of beams receives information on a channel quality indicator (CQI) transmission mode from a base station, the terminal measures a CQI of a beam to feed back the CQI information according to the CQI transmission mode, transmits information of the beam to feed back the CQI information according to the CQI transmission mode, and thereafter, feeds back the measured CQI information of the beam to the base station.
