  • Patent number: 9313721
    Abstract: To reduce power consumption for communication operation wherein a client terminal at the time of offline searches a base station or access point. A server uses a communication information predicting algorithm to predict a location or time whereby the server becomes an offline state over a movement route of a client terminal, and a location or time whereby the server returns to an online state, and informs to the client terminal. The client terminal suspends a communication function when reaching the informed offline predicted location or time. The client terminal at the time of offline determines that the current location or time has reached an online return predicted location or time using location recognition or point-in-time recognition, and restores the communication function.

  • Patent number: 8644399
    Abstract: It is desired to suitably carry out transmission processing and reception processing carried out when transmitting a multicarrier signal where specific subcarriers are omitted. Therefore, the present invention carries out transmission avoidance processing operable when transmitting a multicarrier signal to replace signals corresponding to subcarriers, in a plurality of subcarriers, at frequency positions where transmission is avoided with a null signal. Subsequently, an inverse Fourier transform is carried out on the output of the transmission avoidance processing, the transmission power of the multicarrier signal that has been transformed is amplified in accordance with the number of subcarriers replaced with the null signal and the multicarrier signal is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 8374259
    Abstract: A transmitting apparatus includes a transmission power reducing section to reduce a power of a transmission signal in a prescribed frequency band of a multicarrier signal containing a plurality of subcarriers and change the prescribed frequency band in which the power of the transmission signal is reduced in time sequence. In this configuration, when detecting an interfered system by reducing a transmission power in the prescribed frequency band, it is possible to minimize the bandwidth of the prescribed frequency band and thereby minimize degradation of reception characteristics due to the reduction of the transmission power.
