Abstract:
By assigning a plurality of subcarriers 31 to a data channel 33 and assigning fewer subcarriers 32 than the plurality of subcarriers 31 to a control channel 34, and in addition locating the control channel 34 at the center frequency fc of a frequency band used to transmit the data channel 33, on the radio receiving apparatus side, the frequencies of a local signal by which the received signal is multiplied share the same value, thereby speeding up the switching between the control channel and the data channel.
Abstract:
A directivity control section 103 performs weight control over a received signal using channel estimation and optimum weights, performs processing such as generation of the received signal and generates a plurality of weight-controlled transmission signals. A received signal demodulation section 104 extracts an SIR measurement result from the received signal. A scheduler section 105 decides which terminal should be assigned to a channel to be adaptively modulated from the SIR measurement result and at the same time decides the modulation multi-valued number and coding rate of the signal to the terminal. A transmission signal generation section 106 modulates a transmission signal such as a reference signal or packet data. A directivity switching instruction section 107 controls switching between directivities so as to maintain the same directivity after the reference signal is transmitted with a directivity until packet data is transmitted with a directivity. This makes it possible to receive packet data with high quality, improve efficiency of a radio frequency band and maximize communication path utilization efficiency.
Abstract:
A multicarrier communication apparatus and the like wherein the arithmetic amount required for calculating a reception weight by which a multicarrier signal is to be multiplied is suppressed, while the reception characteristic for the multicarrier signal is improved. In the apparatus, a subcarrier transmission weight generating part (513) generates a transmission weight of each subcarrier, based on channel information of each subcarrier received froma channel information generating part (511) and a reception weight of each subcarrier group received from a subcarrier group reception weight generating part (512). The subcarrier transmission weight generating part (513) inputs the generated transmission weights of the respective subcarriers to the corresponding ones of multipliers (522).
Abstract:
It is an object of the invention to provide a wireless communication system capable of decreasing the effect of radio interference on a different wireless station using the same frequency band and preventing information from leaking to a different wireless station while ensuring the transmit quality of a wireless channel used between specific wireless stations according to a simple configuration in a quasi-static fading environment of wireless communications. A transmit station 101 selects one optimum antenna from among antennas based on quality information of a transmission path 104 and transmits a packet to a receive station 102 from the selected antenna. The receive station 102 receives the packet from the transmit station 101 at one antenna selected from among antennas and switches the currently selected antenna to a different antenna. The receive station 102 transmits a response packet to the received packet to the transmit station 101 from the antenna to which the current antenna is switched. The transmit station 101 receives the response packet at each of the antennas, selects the antenna with the best receive quality as a packet transmit antenna, and transmits a packet to the receive station 102 from the selected antenna. Then, the processing is repeated.

Abstract:
A radio transmission device capable of improving the reception error rate characteristics of a receiver. In this device, an FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) unit (102) subjects a transmission signal to an FFT operation, in which a signal in a time domain is converted into a signal in a frequency domain. A control unit (103) controls the transmission power of the FFT-operated transmission signal in the frequency domain. An IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) unit (104) subjects the transmission signal having its transmission power controlled, to an IFFT operation, in which an inverse conversion is made into a signal in the time domain. A transmission RF unit (106) transmits the IFFT-operated transmission signal on a single carrier.
Abstract:
A transmission apparatus capable of improving overall throughput of a system by suppressing peaks using some frequencies in a communication band. In this apparatus, modulation section (102) adaptively modulates transmission data. Combination section (103) combines the waveform of the transmission data and an inverse replica and suppresses peaks equal to or higher than a threshold. When there are peaks equal to or higher than a threshold, inverse replica generation section (112) extracts the waveform of a peak equal to or higher than the threshold and generates an inverse replica which is the waveform having the inverse characteristic of the extracted waveform. Sub-band selection section (114) selects frequencies of subcarriers for which MCS having low transmission efficiency is selected and outputs the inverse replica within the range of the selected frequency to combination section (103).
Abstract:
A subcarrier transmission ON/OFF control system based on an MC-CDMA system capable of improving information transmission efficiency and reception performance while keeping the number of transmission bits constant. Furthermore, a subcarrier transmit power control system based on an MC-CDMA system or OFDM system capable of improving information transmission efficiency and reception performance. The former system based on the MC-CDMA system does not carry out transmission through subcarriers of low reception quality, with no transmit power assigned (transmission OFF), assigns the corresponding transmit power to subcarriers with transmit power assigned (transmission ON) and carries out transmission (subcarrier transmission ON/OFF control) The latter system based on the MC-CDMA system or OFDM system carries out transmission according to a reception level of each subcarrier on the receiving side, with greater transmit power assigned to subcarriers with higher reception levels and smaller transmit power assigned to subcarriers with lower reception levels (subcarrier reverse transmit power control).

Abstract:
A radio communication method is provided that enables the TFC pointer of a communication terminal apparatus to be made to match the TFC pointer of a radio base station apparatus. A mobile station changes its TFC pointer in line with a determined TFC and also transmits a TFCI at point in time t3. The base station checks the TFCI and updates its own TFC pointer so as to match with the TFC indicated by the TFCI. The base station determines a new TFC pointer, generates an up/down/keep signal by comparing the new TFC pointer with the updated TFC pointer, and transmits this signal at point in time t5. The mobile station updates the TFC pointer it is holding based on the up/down/keep signal received at point in time t6. As a result, the TFC pointers of both stations can be made to match even if the mobile station receives an up/down/keep signal erroneously at point in time t2.
