Publication number: 20050174968Abstract: Transmit power determining section 100 determines a transmit power value based on the condition of the propagation path estimated from a propagation loss and the number of times the random access channel signal is retransmitted. Midamble pattern determining section 103 determines a midamble pattern corresponding to the transmit power value from among a plurality of midamble patterns. Time multiplexing section 102 creates a transmission signal by multiplexing transmission data subjected to spreading processing and the midamble pattern. Radio section 104 applies predetermined transmission processing to the transmission signal generated and transmits the transmission signal subjected to the transmission processing above using the determined transmit power value as a random access channel signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2001Publication date: August 11, 2005Inventors: Takashi Kitade, Masaki Hayashi

Patent number: 6614770Abstract: The base station apparatus compresses one-frame information of a broadcast channel to blocks of ½ of one frame or less and repeatedly sends this block in a one-frame time. The mobile station apparatus decodes the received signal in block units or added block units to carry out error detection. The mobile station apparatus receives and adds up the next block in the case that the error rate exceeds a threshold. The mobile station apparatus repeats this until the error rate falls below the threshold. When the error rate falls below the threshold, the mobile station apparatus stops reception of broadcast channel signals and uses the rest of time until a one-frame time elapses to monitor carrier information of a different mobile communication system for handover.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1999Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidenori Kayama, Toyoki Ue, Kazuyuki Miya, Takashi Kitade, Mitsuru Uesugi, Osamu Kato

Patent number: 6577617Abstract: The present invention carries out transmission/reception of broadcast channels using only the last downlink slot of subframes using signals having a TDMA structure according to a CDMA/TDD system, and thus flexibly handles various services and avoids problems of interference in self-operated services in particular. The base station communication apparatus repeatedly transmits information contained in broadcast channels by the number of times corresponding to the time-sharing number and appropriately allots uplink and downlink slots, thus making the most of the features of uplink open-loop transmission power control and base station transmission diversity.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1999Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toyoki Ue, Hidenori Kayama, Osamu Kato, Kazuyuki Miya, Mitsuru Uesugi, Takashi Kitade
