    Abstract: A base station includes a processor and a plurality of antennas that transmit, to each of terminals, first and second wireless signals to form first and second beams, respectively, and receive, from each terminal, a third wireless signal including feedback information of the terminal in response to the second wireless signal. The processor selects, from among the terminals, based on the feedback information and a correlation value between the first beam and the second beam, a terminal to which the second beam is optimum, as a first terminal that performs communication via the first beam, or selects a terminal as a second terminal that performs communication via the second beam while communication via the first beam is performed in parallel. The plurality of antennas transmit a fourth wireless signal including data to each terminal apparatus to form the first beam or the second beam.

  • Patent number: 10177939
    Abstract: A base station includes a channel estimator, a scheduler, and a controller. The channel estimator estimates a channel matrix with respect to each of a plurality of terminals. The scheduler determines a transmission weight corresponding to each of the plurality of terminals on the basis of the channel matrix that is estimated by the channel estimator such that the transmission weight is orthogonal to a current channel matrix and a past channel matrix of a terminal that is a subject of interference. The controller controls, when the transmission weight is determined by the scheduler, the number of samples of the current channel matrix and the past channel matrix to which the transmission weight is to be orthogonal with respect to each of the terminals.

  • Patent number: 10158446
    Abstract: In a multi-carrier cellular system, a second synchronization code (a Walsh code or a GCL series code) mapped on a second synchronization channel is used as a signal for specifying in which cell of the base station a mobile station terminal device itself is. A signal transmitted from the base station to the mobile station terminal device is mapped in a radio frame having two-dimensional extension in frequency and time directions. When mapping a certain series number of the second code for specifying a cell or a cell group on the radio frame as the second synchronization channel, phase rotation or circular shift in which one radio frame is one cycle is applied to the second synchronization code. On the receiving side, the head timing of the radio frame is known by knowing the phase rotation angle or the amount of circular shift of the second synchronization code.
