摘要:
A multistage relay communication system 100 includes a trunk network 1 and branch networks 2 (2a, 2b), each of which includes one or more communication apparatuses 4. The communication apparatus 4 can switch between a trunk mode to operate in the trunk network 1 and a branch mode to operate in the branch network 2. In the trunk network 1, the communication apparatus 4 carries out fixing of a communication path and redundancy of data based on a path table in order to achieve real-timeness and a data arrival rate. Meanwhile, in the branch network 2, when a communication failure occurs, the communication apparatus 4 autonomously searches for a communication path and constructs a path table, in order to at least secure a data arrival rate even if real-timeness is impaired within an allowable range.

摘要:
A technique is offered which is adapted for optimization computations and which makes it possible to carry out an estimation of the state of propagation of radio waves quickly and accurately during a search for the locations of wireless stations. During the optimization computations, sending points and receiving points are set using a parameter search technique. Propagation paths are computed using a far-field approximation technique for Maxwell's equations. A propagation path leading to a local area where the accuracy is low with the far-field approximation technique is extracted from the computed paths. The state of scattering previously calculated using a numerical analysis technique for Maxwell's equations is reflected in the extracted path to modify the propagation path. The communication characteristics of the modified path are evaluated. The steps S101-S105 are performed repeatedly a given number of times. A sending point and a receiving point producing optimum communication characteristics are output.

A radio propagation path from a transmitting point to a receiving point is estimated accurately with a relatively small amount of calculation. A predetermined-size receiving area including the receiving point is set, radio propagation paths from the transmitting point to the receiving area is estimated by a ray launching method, object surfaces existing in the paths are extracted, and a radio propagation path from the transmitting point to the receiving point is estimated by an imaging method using only the extracted object surfaces.

摘要:
In the construction of a wireless network in a building, structure conditions such as the floor plan of the building and the shape of the floor, material conditions such as materials for structures, and the like have a great effect on radio wave propagation characteristics. This causes a problem that unless these pieces of information are taken into consideration, an accurate layout design of wireless base stations cannot be made. In the construction of a new wireless network in a building, a wireless network similar to structure conditions of a newly constructed building is extracted from structure conditions of past buildings in which a wireless network is constructed. The layout positions of wireless base stations used in the extracted wireless network are regarded as the layout positions of wireless base stations in the new wireless network.
摘要:
A method for measuring a radio wave propagation environment includes installing radio signal transmission and reception apparatuses where a radio network system is to be constructed and obtaining an electromagnetic wave measured value of a signal between transmission and reception apparatuses; estimating an electromagnetic wave propagation state of the signal using an electrical property and information on a three-dimensional structure at the site to obtain an electromagnetic wave estimated value; making a comparison between measured and estimated values for each time of day to determine when errors between measured and estimated values exceed a reference value; obtaining an electromagnetic path between transmission and reception apparatuses; and modifying structure information in the wave path to re-obtain the estimated value; and comparing the measured re-obtained estimated value to modify the three-dimensional structure information so that the error value becomes smaller.
