Disclosed are an adaptive pilot symbol assignment method that flexibly controls the number of transmit antennas according to each user's moving speed, channel status, or user request, and assigns proper pilot symbols in the downlink of an OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access) based cellular system; and a sub-carrier allocation method for high-speed mobile that allocates some sub-carriers to assign proper pilot symbols for ultrahigh-speed mobile users, and the rest of the sub-carriers to the other users to assign proper pilot symbols to the users, on the assumption that the ultrahigh-speed mobile users have a traffic volume almost insignificant to the whole traffic volume.

Disclosed is an adaptive transmit and receive method and device in a multiple-antenna wireless communication system. A transmit mode comprises different main transmit modes each of which includes one or both of a sub-transmit mode based on STBC and a sub-transmit mode based on SM. A receiver calculates an STBC performance parameter and a SM performance parameter, and a transmitter uses the parameters to determine a main transmit mode with maximum data rates and select a sub-transmit mode for minimizing power consumption. The transmitter channel-encodes, modulates and antenna-maps input data according to the selected transmit mode, and outputs results to the receiver. The receiver antenna/symbol-demodulates and channel-decodes the received data.

Provided are a dynamic resource allocation method based on frequency reuse partitioning for an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system, and a frame transmission method therefor. The dynamic resource allocation method includes: a) dividing a coverage into cells based on frequency reuse partitioning; b) selecting a candidate user to receive a channel allocated thereto based on the ratio; c) acquiring distance information for the candidate user; and d) checking whether the candidate user is in an inner or outer cell area based on the distance information. If the candidate user is in the inner cell area, a subchannel group among subchannel groups having a Frequency Reuse Factor (FRF) lower than a threshold value is selected and subcarriers of the selected subchannel group is allocated. If the candidate user is in the outer cell area, a subchannel group among subchannel groups having a FRF higher than the threshold value is selected.

In an OFDMA-based cellular system, a frame of a downlink signal includes a common slot and traffic slots. The common slot includes a synchronization preamble and a cell search preamble. The synchronization preamble has a structure for synchronizing time and frequency, and the cell search preamble has a cell search structure. The traffic slot includes pilot symbols provided on the time and frequency axes. A cyclic prefix is used to estimate initial symbol synchronization, and the initial symbol synchronization and the synchronization preamble are used to synchronize the frame. The synchronization frame and the cell search preamble are used to estimate time and frequency synchronization. The cell search preamble is used to search cells. When the initial synchronization is performed, the cyclic prefix is used to track the frequency, the synchronization preamble is used to track symbol synchronization, and the cell search preamble is used to track fine frequency synchronization.

Disclosed is a transmitting and receiving method for reducing a time-varying channel distortion in an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) system. In the present invention, the transmitter defines M sub-channels in one data group, mathematically analyzes a change of channel for each path causing a time-varying channel distortion in a high-speed mobile environment by approximation, calculates a weight value based on the mathematical analysis and assigns the calculated weight value to transmit data of each sub-channel. Subsequently, the receiver combines the signals of these M sub-channels and demodulates the combined signals. Accordingly, the present invention greatly reduces a distortion caused by the time-varying channel to improve a bit error rate and a channel estimation performance.

Disclosed is a receiver digital filter for a digital IF signal processor suitable for the specification of each communication standard in a communication system that supports at least one communication standard. The filter for each standard is constructed as one block, and includes a block for externally implementing the constructed block. The coefficient of the digital filter constructed in one block is implemented with an external input or an internal filter coefficient calculator by a basic filter building block. In this manner, the common resources required in the digital filter used in each communication standard are shared, and only the additionally required resources are selectively implemented. Since the shared resources are calculated by dynamic programming, a considerably smaller number of additional resources are required.

Disclosed is an implementation method for simplifying a complicated message-passing function in a decoder for decoding block codes encoded with low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and only using a summator and a shifter to simplify the hardware structure of the decoder, in which method the input interval of the message-passing function for binary representation of a message input is divided and the respective divided intervals are linearized to allow the calculation of the output of the message-passing function without using a memory. Based on the fact that the message-passing function is similar in structure to an exponential function, the linearized intervals are set to make the maximum value expressible in each digit of the binary representation as the boundary of the intervals.
