Introduction

Se-Min Kwak is an inventor based in Seoul, South Korea. Her work includes a patented beamforming method designed to support communication with multiple users while managing interference and meeting quality-of-service requirements.

Latest Patents

Kwak is associated with 1 patent: “Beamforming Method and Apparatus for Serving Multiple Users.” The invention determines beams for user equipment using reported channel information, predicts beam quality, and checks whether the beams meet each user’s quality-of-service requirements. When interference from a beam’s side lobe prevents a first beam from meeting those requirements, the method applies wide nulling to a second beam. It then evaluates the revised beam configuration and, when the quality requirements are satisfied, enables simultaneous communication with users through the beams.

Career Highlights

Kwak’s listed organizational affiliations include the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Her patent reflects work on multi-user wireless communication and interference management.

Collaborations

Kwak’s listed coworkers include Sang-Hyouk Choi and Yong-hoon Kim. The patent’s focus on serving multiple users also reflects the collaborative nature of developing wireless communication technologies.

Conclusion

Se-Min Kwak’s patented beamforming approach addresses the challenge of serving multiple users while controlling interference and maintaining quality of service.
