  • Patent number: 7145886
    Abstract: An antenna 20 receives signals orthogonal to each other transmitted from different antennas of a base station, and a despreader 202 and a spreader 203 despread the respective received signals using the same spreading code used in the base station, a demodulator 204 and a demodulator 205 demodulate the despread signals, a reception power measuring section 207 and a reception power measuring section 208 measure reception power from the demodulation results, a reception power combiner 209 combines measured reception power, and a transmission power controller 212 controls transmission power based on combined reception power. This makes it possible to perform open loop transmission power control at high speed and with high accuracy even when a fading variation is small.

  • Patent number: 7033043
    Abstract: LEDs (10) are used as a tail stop lamp (L1). A socket (21) for the LEDs (10) is provided at the left end of a socket base (20), and a lighting circuit (15) for the LEDs (10) including the socket (21) and a connector portion (25) is constructed on the socket base (20). Thus, electronic parts, such as resistors for luminance adjustment, are formed into control modules (30) by molding. Lead terminals (32) of the respective control modules (30) are formed by insulation-displacement terminals. On the other hand, insulated wires (40) are laid through mount bases (35) in a specified circuit pattern on the socket base (20). When the control modules (30) are mounted into the corresponding mount bases (35), the lead terminals (32) are pressed into connection to form the lighting circuit.

  • Publication number: 20050174968
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6912405
    Abstract: A propagation loss measuring section 207 appropriately changes a measuring method according to the reception type of system informed from a base station so as to measure propagation losses. A propagation loss comparator 209 compares the propagation loss between the respective cells. A transmission slot controller 210 controls a data assembling section 211 and spreader 213 in such a way to transmit a signal to a base station existing in a cell with a smaller propagation loss. A transmission power controller 208 controls a RF section 202 in such a way to transmit a signal with a transmission power value obtained by adding the propagation loss value at each cell to a target reception power value at each base station.

  • Patent number: 6907014
    Abstract: Despreading section 203 extracts a common control channel signal from each base station by performing despreading processing on a baseband signal from RF section 202 using a predetermined spreading code. Propagation loss measuring section 206 measures a propagation loss for each base station using the reception level of the common control channel signal and the transmission level of this common control channel signal. Propagation loss comparator 207 detects a base station whose propagation loss is a minimum from among all base stations. Transmission data control section 208 controls the timing of transmission data in the data composition section so that an dedicated traffic channel signal is transmitted to the detected base station and controls the spreading code in spreading section 211.

  • Patent number: 6614770
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6577617
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20020183028
    Abstract: A SINR measuring section 108 measures a ratio between a desired signal and an interference signal based on an output signal of an A/D converter 104 and an output signal of an interference canceller 108. An absolute electric field intensity calculator 111 calculates absolute electric field intensity of a desired signal based on said ratio between the desired signal and the interference signal and electric field intensity of said received signal. A determination section 112 determines the relationship between absolute electric field intensity of said desired signal and a preset target object in terms of the valve large and small. A gain coefficient calculator 113 calculates a gain coefficient based on the determination result of the determination section 112, and controls a gain of an AGC section 103. This makes it possible to perform AGC accurately and to prevent deterioration of reception quality.
