Patents by Inventor Kozue Hamamoto

Kozue Hamamoto has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8204004
    Abstract: This invention relates to a frequency channel assignment system which enables adaptive overlapping use of the same frequency band in a plurality of radio communications systems. The frequency channel assignment system includes radio communications systems 1 and 2 which use a common frequency band, and controllers 31 and 141. The controllers 31 and 141 include a system characteristics information management function 317 configured to manage system characteristics information showing characteristics of frequency channels in the radio communications systems 1 and 2, and a frequency channel assignment function 1411 configured to assign frequency channels to each of the radio communications systems 1 and 2, based on the system characteristics information and channel status information showing status of frequency channels, so as to avoid inter-system interference.

  • Patent number: 7889632
    Abstract: A radio communication system for carrying out communications between radio stations by modulating a plurality of signal sequences to be transmitted and received into at least one frequency channel assigned to each of a plurality of cells is formed by a channel mapping means for rearranging for each cell a plurality of frequency channels assigned with respect to each cell, and newly assigning particular frequency channels as a transmission and reception band of said signal sequences, and a bandwidth control means for controlling a bandwidth of said assigned frequency channel according to a propagation state of said assigned frequency channel.

  • Publication number: 20050037763
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a control station 5 determines a number of groups to which cells belong, based on interference between the cells. Preferably, the control station 5 determines the number of groups as a number smaller than the number of cells constituting a closed cluster. The control station 5 determines the groups to which the cells belong, so as to keep constant shortest distances between cells belonging to the same group. Then the control station 5 determines a frequency band to be assigned to a cell belonging to a determined group, in each of the group units, and assigns different frequency bands to the respective groups.
