Abstract:
Provided is a method for generating, by a base station, a common signal commonly required for surrounding terminals of the base station in a massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. The base station generates data commonly required for the surrounding terminals. The base station generates a plurality of beamforming vectors using a time-domain constant amplitude (TCA)-frequency-domain constant amplitude (FCA) sequence having a constant size in a time domain and a frequency domain. Further, the base station generates a plurality of antenna streams corresponding to the common signal by multiplying the plurality of beamforming vectors by the data.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a graceful degradation-forward error correction method and an apparatus for performing same. A graceful degradation-forward error correction method determines an encoding unit data group constituted by a predetermined number of time intervals for a data stream input in a time-sequential manner, determines a reference data group to be used in generating a parity frame in each time interval of the encoding unit data group, generates a parity frame using the determined at least one reference data group, and assigns the generated parity frame to at least one time interval from among a plurality of time intervals including time intervals constituting the encoding unit data group based on a predetermined rule. Thus, a lost packet can be recovered even when the packet of a continuous long interval is lost, and consequentially, a seamless service may be provided.
Abstract:
A transmitter generates a first precoding vector for a first virtual antenna port among a plurality of virtual antenna ports using a first sequence having a constant magnitude and a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) vector sequence in a time domain and a frequency domain. The transmitter generates a plurality of second precoding vectors for the remaining virtual antenna port, except for the first virtual antenna port of the plurality of virtual antenna ports by circular shifting the first precoding vector. The transmitter maps a plurality of first data streams for the plurality of virtual antenna ports to a plurality of physical antenna ports using the first precoding vector and the plurality of second precoding vectors.
