Hybrid wireless communication system and communication method using the same

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a hybrid wireless communication system and a communication method in the system, which supports time and frequency division duplexing modes and includes a base station having a cellular communication range based on a cellular mode and mobile stations within the cellular communication ranges.

Optimization Issues for Cooperative Amplify-and-Forward Systems Over Block-Fading Channels

TL;DR: An amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative strategy in slot-based, block-fading environments is proposed, which uses as an optimization criterion the well-defined asymptotic expressions of the outage probabilities, which are averaged over the fading statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum codes from cyclic codes over GF(4/sup m/)

TL;DR: In this article, a construction for Hermitian self-orthogonal codes over GF(4) was proposed, starting from cyclic codes over 4/sup m/.

Doppler estimation for fast acquisition in spread spectrum communication systems

TL;DR: The technique discussed in this paper uses a set of partial correlators and a zero-padded FFT to reduce the search region for code acquisition whilst maintaining good frequency resolution for Doppler offset.
