FAULT MONITORING DEVICE HAVING RADIO MAINTENANCE COMMUNICATION FUNCTION, AND FAULT MONITORING METHOD
Publication number: 20140018007Abstract: An outdoor fault monitoring device carries out radio maintenance communication with a maintenance terminal, positioned at a remote place, wherein a fault monitoring function part monitors occurrence/non-occurrence of a fault in a primary device function part. Upon detecting occurrence of a fault, the fault monitoring function part activates a radio maintenance communication function part. Alternatively, the fault monitoring function part deactivates the radio maintenance communication function part due to non-occurrence of a fault. In this case, it is possible to deactivate the radio maintenance communication function part upon detecting disconnection of a radio maintenance communication. Thus, it is possible to improve security against communication jamming created by a malicious person. Additionally, it is possible to suppress power consumption and to reduce a processing load by preventing unnecessary radio communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2012Publication date: January 16, 2014Applicant: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Takatoshi Ogawa, Hiroaki Miyamoto -

Publication number: 20100220698Abstract: A wireless LAN terminal (AP) transmits a data frame to a counter wireless LAN terminal (STA-j), and receives an ACK frame from STA-j. AP measures a response time from the transmission of the data frame to reception of the ACK frame, and measures a transmission interval time from the previous transmission of the data frame to STA-j to the current transmission. AP includes a memory to store a predetermined set transmission interval time and a set response time for said terminal station. AP re-transmits the data frame when the transmission interval time does not exceed the set transmission interval time and the response time exceeds the set response time, and stores the response time in said memory as the set response time, when the transmission interval time exceeds the set transmission interval time.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2006Publication date: September 2, 2010Inventor: Hiroaki Miyamoto

Publication number: 20070091806Abstract: In a wireless LAN communication system in which the data transmission rate is asymmetric between an upstream channel and a downstream channel, a wireless band is effectively used. The transmission rate of an ACK (reception acknowledgement signal) is variably controlled between an AP (Access Point) and an STA (mobile terminal station), based on the number of retransmissions of a user data frame. Specifically, control is performed as follows. The number of retransmitted frames is counted, and if the value is greater than a predetermined value M, which means that the transmission quality of an ACK is poor, the ACK transmission rate is brought one level down. The number of successive successful frames is counted, and if the value is greater than a predetermined value N, which means that the transmission quality is good, the transmission rate is brought one level up.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2004Publication date: April 26, 2007Inventor: Hiroaki Miyamoto
