Multicarrier wireless data communication method and apparatus, and transmission frame format therefor
First Claim
1. A wireless data communication method by which a plurality of stations can transmit and receive burst data to and from a net access group switching center wirelessly using a multicarrier, the method comprising:
- (a) allocating a sub-carrier channel set to each of the plurality of stations that requests allocation of the sub-carrier channel set consisting of sub-carriers of a first predetermined number out of a plurality of sub-carriers at a predetermined point of time;
(b) activating the sub-carrier channel set allocated to each of the stations desiring to transmit data; and
(c) checking for activation of at least one of the sub-carrier channel sets by determining if at least one sub-carrier in the allocated sub-carrier channel set is varied and, based on the checked activation results, allocating resources of a second predetermined number to the stations having an activated sub-carrier channel set allocated thereto.

Abstract
Provided are a wireless data communication apparatus and a method using a multicarrier, and a transmission frame format therefore, wherein through the wireless data communication method, a plurality of stations can transmit and receive burst data to and from a net access group switching center wirelessly using a multicarrier. The method includes: (a) allocating a sub-carrier channel set to one of the plurality of stations that requests allocation of the sub-carrier channel set consisting of sub-carriers of a first predetermined number out of a plurality of sub-carriers at a predetermined point of time; (b) activating the sub-carrier channel set allocated to the station which desires to transmit the data; and (c) checking the activation of the sub-carrier channel set, detecting a station that requests the allocation of resources based on the checked results, and allocating resources of a second predetermined number to the detected station.

12. A wireless data communication apparatus through which burst data is received and transmitted wirelessly using a multicarrier, comprising:
-
a net access group switching center; and a plurality of stations, wherein each one of the plurality of stations transmits information requesting the allocation of a sub-carrier channel set, which consists of sub-carriers of a first predetermined number out of a plurality of sub-carriers which exist at a predetermined time, to the net access group switching center, and activates the sub-carrier channel set allocated to a corresponding one of the plurality of stations so as to transmit data; and wherein the net access group switching center allocates the sub-carrier channel set to the corresponding one of the plurality of stations in response to the information transmitted from the one of the plurality of stations, checks the activation of the sub-carrier channel set by determining if at least one sub-carrier in the allocated sub-carrier channel set is varied and, based on the checked activation result, allocates resources of a second predetermined number to the station to which the activated sub-carrier channel set is allocated. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21)

- 22. A station that transmits and receives burst data to and from a net access group switching center wirelessly using a multicarrier, wherein the station transmits information requesting the allocation of a sub-carrier channel set, which consists of sub-carrier of a first predetermined number out of a plurality of sub-carriers that exist at a predetermined time, to the net access group switching center, and activates the sub-carrier channel set allocated by the net access group switching center so as to transmit data, by varying at least one sub-carrier in the allocated sub-carrier channel.
- 24. A net access group switching center that transmits and receives burst data to and from a plurality of stations wirelessly using a multicarrier, wherein the net access group switching center allocates a sub-carrier channel set to each of the plurality of stations that requests allocation of the sub-carrier channel set consisting of sub-carriers of a first predetermined number out of a plurality of sub-carriers at a predetermined point of time, checks for activation of at least one of the sub-carrier channel sets by determining if at least one sub-carrier in the allocated sub-carrier channel set is varied, and allocates resources of a second predetermined number to the stations having an activated sub-carrier channel set allocated thereto, based on the checked results.
