Abstract:
A control apparatus controls a communication with a plurality of wireless terminals using a plurality of beams. The control apparatus calculates an index indicating a relationship between the plurality of beams, on the basis of a first information about a success/failure of a communication with at least two of the plurality of wireless terminals, and a second information indicating a combination pattern of at least two of the plurality of beams that are used a communication whose success/failure is indicated by the first information; and selects, from among the plurality of wireless terminals and the plurality of beams, a combination of at least one wireless terminal serving as a communication target and at least one beam used to communicate with the at least one wireless terminal, on the basis of the index.

Abstract:
A control apparatus includes a calculation unit configured to calculate, for each of radio apparatuses, a combination of a pre-coding weight and a post-coding weight using a first channel information matrix based on estimated values of channel responses between each of the radio apparatuses and each of terminals, a selection unit configured to select one combination from the combinations calculated using the first channel information matrices as a first combination, and an orthogonalization unit configured to generate a second channel information matrix for each of the radio apparatuses by projecting each first channel information matrix onto the subspace that is orthogonal to the post-coding weight included in the first combination. The calculation unit calculates a combination for each of the radio apparatuses using a second channel information matrix, and the selection unit selects one combination from the combinations calculated using the second channel information matrix as a second combination.
Abstract:
A wireless apparatus includes a first weight multiplication part, a channel estimation part, a channel response conversion part, and a second weight generation part. The first weight multiplication part includes first weights, each of which corresponds to an individual one of a plurality of beams, and multiplies a signal(s) corresponding to a reference signal(s) transmitted from a wireless terminal(s) by the first weights. The channel estimation part estimates first channel responses for the respective beams by using the signals obtained by the multiplication by the first weights. The channel response conversion part converts the first channel responses into second channel responses by using the first weights. The second weight generation part generates second weights used for wireless communication with the wireless terminal(s) by using the second channel responses.

A radio communication apparatus provided with a plurality of antennas (101-1 to 101-M) includes: a channel information acquisition unit (105) that acquires information related to channels between the radio communication apparatus and another radio communication apparatus; an index calculation unit (106) that uses that information to calculate indices related to an angular spread of the channels; a weighting factor generation unit (107) that uses that information and the indices to generate weighting factors corresponding to the respective antennas; and a weighting factor multiplication unit (110) that multiplies signals to be processed by each antenna by the weighting factor corresponding to the antenna that processes the signal.
Abstract:
A method for estimating a network communication load without performing actual communication and a wireless communication terminal are provided. A wireless communication terminal (10) connectable to a network (NW) includes a load estimation section (14), and the load estimation section (14) estimates a communication load of the network NW by using a first quality index that does not depend on a network communication load and a second communication index that depends on a network communication load.
