Publication number: 20100151803Abstract: A multi-carrier transmission device improves peak suppression efficiency in a multi-carrier signal. The multi-carrier transmission device (100) has a peak suppression unit (140) for dividing a multi-carrier signal into two parts: a first multi-carrier signal and a second multi-carrier signal. A peak signal detection unit (142) detects a power value at a predetermined interval concerning the first multi-carrier signal. When the detected power value is equal to or above a predetermined level, a peak extraction unit (144) extracts a signal component equal to or above the predetermined level from the first multi-carrier signal. A band limit filter unit (146) passes only a predetermined band from the extracted signal component. An adder (154) subtracts the signal component after the band limit from the second multi-carrier signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2005Publication date: June 17, 2010Applicant: MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuta Seki, Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Shinji Ueda

Publication number: 20070188218Abstract: A peak power suppressor for facilitating realization of a desired peak factor without increasing the device scale and without degrading the use efficiency of the storage area. A clipping section (102) suppresses the peak power of the transmission signal according to the clipping coefficient (a). A filter section (103) limits the frequency band of the transmission signal the peak power of which has been suppressed. A coefficient correction signal generating section (111) detects the instantaneous input power (Pin) of the transmission signal inputted into the clipping section (102) and the instantaneous output power (Pout) outputted from the filter section (103). The coefficient correction signal generating section (111) computes the variation (?a) of the clipping coefficient (a) from the instantaneous input and output powers (Pin, Pout). A coefficient setting section (108) changes the clipping coefficient (a) according to the computed coefficient variation (?a).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2005Publication date: August 16, 2007Applicant: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., LtdInventor: Shinji Ueda

Patent number: 7088960Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile communication system whereby, to reduce the connection time, a mobile station closely located to a base wireless station is permitted to continue to use a common channel for exchanging signals, and to suppress an increase in interference, an individual channel is set for a mobile station located near the edge of a cell, and to obtain a stabilized communication quality and to prevent an increase in the connection time, the probability that the transmission power will reach an upper limit is reduced. When communication between a mobile station and a wireless base station is started, the wireless base station measures the transmission power and the communication quality in the communication with the mobile station and the utilization ratio for a common channel, and compares the obtained values with predetermined threshold values. When the obtained values are lower than the threshold values, the wireless base station continues to use the common channel for signal transmission/reception.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2003Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: NTT DoCoMo, Inc.Inventors: Yasuhiro Kato, Takehiro Nakamura, Seizo Onoe, Akihiro Maebara, Yutaka Ohto, Shinji Ueda
