The present disclosure provides an image encoder. The image encoder is configured to encode an original image and reduce compression loss. The image encoder comprises an image signal processor and a compressor. The image signal processor is configured to receive a first frame image and a second frame image and generates a compressed image of the second frame image using a boundary pixel image of the first frame image. The image signal processor may include memory configured to store first reference pixel data which is the first frame image. The compressor is configured to receive the first reference pixel data from the memory and generate a bitstream obtained by encoding the second frame image based on a difference value between the first reference pixel data and the second frame image. The image signal processor generates a compressed image of the second frame image using the bitstream generated by the compressor.

A control channel element detection method and apparatus is provided for detecting the Control Channel Elements (CCEs) carrying control information for a mobile station using a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI). A CCE detection method includes searching a current subframe for CCEs, and locating the CCEs carrying control information for the mobile station by decoding the current subframe with variable code rates. Searching for the CCEs includes searching the current subframe for the CCEs carrying the control information for the mobile station while changing a size type of the CCEs according to a result of a comparison between a CQI of the current subframe and a CQI of a previous subframe.
