  • Patent number: 7450492
    Abstract: A correlation detection apparatus which realizes software CDMA inverse-spread processing. A reception circuit receives an RACH preamble from a mobile station, and an A/D converts the preamble into digital received data. An FFT unit FFT-processes the received data to obtain an FFT result. An RACH code storage unit holds an RACH preamble code, and another FFT unit FFT-processes the RACH preamble code to obtain another FFT result. A multiplication unit multiples the FFT result by the other FFT result. An IFFT unit IFFT-processes a result of multiplication input from the multiplication unit to obtain a delay profile. A data decoding unit decodes the received data by using the delay profile, and obtains decoded data.

  • Patent number: 6804217
    Abstract: A CDMA mobile station apparatus receives a spread control signal including a non-orthogonal spread signal generated using a non-orthogonal spreading code which is non-orthogonal with a data signal spreading code and a spread data signal produced by spreading a data signal with a data signal spreading code from a base station apparatus via a radio link. The mobile station apparatus has a non-orthogonal spread signal generating unit for generating a non-orthogonal spread signal whose phase rotation caused by a radio transmission path is compensated for using a non-orthogonal spreading code, a subtracting unit for subtracting the generated non-orthogonal spread signal from the received signal to generate a difference signal, and a data signal demodulating unit for demodulating the difference signal into a data signal. The mobile station apparatus is capable of canceling an entire spread broadcasting signal, processing a band-limited signal, or processing a spreading code with a suppression coefficient.

  • Patent number: 6636557
    Abstract: A despreading circuit which can reduce a circuit scale and power consumption is described. The circuit includes an A/D converter which converts a CDMA modulated analog signal to a digital signal of N bits, and a searcher which defects a synchronization phase from high-order small bits of the N bits and outputs synchronozation phase information to a control circuit. The control circuit transmits a signal for allowing despreading to be performed to a sliding correlator based on the phase information. The sliding correlator despreads the N bit digital signal outputted by the A/D converter and outputs the resulting correlation output as a despreading signal.

  • Patent number: 5751691
    Abstract: In an ATM switching system responsive to a call setup request from each of B-ISDN terminals, a band for an accepted call is estimated in accordance with fuzzy decision on the basis of the fact that the network traffic characteristics can be determined empirically. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the band without any complicated band estimation calculations, improve the call acceptance processing response speed, and further improve the availability efficiency of the network transmission line. In the consequents of the fuzzy rules in particular, the respective band estimation values are represented by the respective input functions, or particularly by the linear couplings coupled by predetermined linear parameters of respective inputs, thus improving the descriptive capacity of the rules.

  • Patent number: 5646442
    Abstract: A contact structure for an IC socket is usable for an IC package having a number of spherical type terminals or a number of cylindrical terminals arranged on the lower surface of an IC main body. To realize this contact structure for an IC socket, a number of contacts arranged corresponding to the spherical type terminals or the cylindrical terminals on the IC main body are provided. Resilient contact pieces for allowing each contact to come into pressure contact with each terminal at one point or at two points on the peripheral surface of the respective terminals are provided. Plural groups are constructed for a group of contacts and a group of terminals for changing an orientation of each resilient contact piece for allowing the group of contacts to give pressure contact force to the group of terminals in three directions or four directions. Each of the plural groups is arranged to generate an opposing force between adjacent groups.
