  • Publication number: 20040233838
    Abstract: When OFDM signals are transmitted from a plurality of antennas, a pilot carrier is transmitted from one antenna among the plurality of antennas, and a null signal is transmitted from an antenna other than that antenna by a subcarrier of the frequency band that transmits the pilot carrier.

  • Publication number: 20020191535
    Abstract: An OFDM signal communication system used in broadband mobile communication, achieves stable operation under severe frequency selective fading environments, giving high quality. The OFDM signal communication system which transmits OFDM signals over the same radio frequency from N transmitting antennas, has an inverse matrix computer for computing an N×N inverse matrix constituted by propagation coefficients for respective propagation paths between each of N transmitting antennas and each of N receiving antennas, and a subcarrier demodulator which separates the signals of the respective propagation paths, based on the obtained inverse matrix.

  • Patent number: 6188697
    Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode (“ATM”) cell transfer system in a wireless communication system provides quality classes that correspond to the amount of cell transfer delay allowed. Cells are classified according to a quality class and stored in buffers. The cells are read starting from the buffer for the quality class with the highest priority, and successively from buffers for quality classes of lower priority. Alternatively, if there is room in the output interval of cells of a higher priority quality class, cells of a lower quality class are inserted among these cells.

  • Patent number: 5862175
    Abstract: A digital transmission apparatus is provided, by which the amount of transmission delay and circuit miniaturization can be realized in the case of using an FEC method together with a differential coding method. In the digital transmission apparatus, a digital signal to be transmitted is serial-to-parallel-converted into parallel n-channel signals; each signal is FEC-encoded and encoded signals are then differentially encoded; and a carrier is modulated by the parallel n-channel differentially-encoded signals to be transmitted as a 2.sup.n multi-level modulated signal. The signal is detected at the receiving side and parallel n-channel demodulated and decoded signals are output; FEC decoding is performed; and the parallel n-channel digital signals after FEC decoding is parallel-to-serial-converted.
