An operation method of a first access point (AP) may comprise: transmitting, to a control device of a base station, channel information between the first AP and one or more user equipments (UEs) connected to the base station; receiving allocation information determined by the control device; identifying an entity to decode a uplink (UL) signal of each of the one or more UEs from among a plurality of APs and the control device constituting the base station, based on the allocation information; directly performing a decoding operation on a first UL signal received from a first UE among the one or more UEs, based on the allocation information; and transmitting, to the control device, a first report related to a result of the decoding operation on the first UL signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for estimating a signal generation position based on signal strength, including: measuring a first signal strength which is a strength of a signal propagated from a generation position of the signal at a first measurement point; measuring a second signal strength which is a strength of the signal propagated from the generation position of the signal at a second measurement point distinguished from the first measurement point; calculating an attenuation constant of a medium to which the signal is propagated from the generation position up to the first measurement point and the second measurement point; and estimating the generation position by using the first signal strength, the second signal strength, and the attenuation constant, wherein the first measurement point, the second measurement point, and the generation position are present on one straight line. This method can be extended to estimate a signal generation point in 2D plane or 3D space.
Abstract:
A method of connecting base stations by a one-way cooperative channel forming a beam is provided. Since it is possible to determine directions of beams and to distribute power components by small amounts of calculations, it is possible to realize the base stations in a one-way cooperative situation with small expenses. In addition, the base stations according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may minimize the influence of interference generated by signals transmitted by other base stations through the one-way cooperative channel and the influence of interference generated by signals transmitted to other terminals.
