  • Patent number: 8958505
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to reduction of operation amount of likelihood calculation (LLR calculation) in a communication apparatus for performing communications using an extended mapping in which a plurality of bit sequences are assigned to a single symbol point. A receiving unit receives a signal which is transmitted from a transmitting unit by using the extended mapping. A repetition process unit decodes the received signal from the receiving unit by calculating an LLR of the received signal and performing a repetition process. In this case, the LLR is calculated for every bit using a MAX-LOG approximation and a thus-derived approximation formula is multiplied by weighting factors corresponding to proportions of “0” and “1” in each bit assigned to a symbol point closest to the received signal.

  • Patent number: 8879582
    Abstract: In a transmitter which transmits a signal by a DSTBC scheme, communication is efficiently performed by the DSTBC scheme. In the transmitter which transmits the signal by the DSTBC scheme, a frame in which a sync word is disposed in a predetermined position subsequent to the head is used. Initial value controller (31 to 35) sets initial values of differential encoding (differential encoding unit 15) when a DSTBC encoder which processes a transmission target processes the frame on the basis of values from the head of the frame to a position before the sync word so that a signal point corresponding to the position immediately before the sync word in the DSTBC encoder which processes the transmission target becomes a specific point.

  • Patent number: 8792595
    Abstract: A wireless communications device and method carries out a process including estimating channel information based on a received signal; generating pseudo-transmission signal point candidates based on the channel information and/or transmission signal point candidates; and generating a replica of the received signal based on the pseudo-transmission signal point candidates and the estimated channel information. The process further includes performing matrix operations on the basis of the received signal and the replica thereof; selecting pseudo-transmission signal point candidates which have a greater effect on likelihood calculations; reverting the selected pseudo-transmission signal point candidates to original transmission signal point candidates and calculating final likelihoods; and restoring the received signal on the basis of the calculated likelihoods.

  • Patent number: 8605813
    Abstract: In a transmitter, communication is efficiently performed by a DSTBC scheme. In a transmitter which transmits a signal using the DSTBC scheme, the content of a transmission process is set so that a state where a symbol is not present is realized at the origin of signal arrangement in a DSTBC encoder. As an example, the setting is performed so that an input to the DSTBC encoder is calculated using a predetermined operation in which a state where a symbol is not present is realized at the origin of signal arrangement in the DSTBC encoder. As another example, the setting is performed so that initial values in which a state where a symbol is not present is realized at the origin of signal arrangement in the DSTBC encoder are used in differential encoding of the DSTBC encoder.

  • Patent number: 8467471
    Abstract: Disclosed herewith is a radio communication apparatus capable of selecting proper one of plural communication modes such as a MIMO communication system so as to obtain a higher communication rate within a range in which chain retransmission occurrence is prevented. The MIMO system deciding section of the transmitter unit decides a proper MIMO system with reference to the CQI value demultiplexed by a demultiplexer and the AMC table controlling section changes the MCS value step by step according to the transmission count and the result (success/failure) of the communication. Furthermore, the AMC table controlling section updates the mean rate in the measured rate table when the subject data is received successfully or when the transmission count reaches the maximum value.

  • Patent number: 8451923
    Abstract: In a radio communication apparatus, a MIMO system deciding section of a transmitter unit decides an object MIMO communication system with reference to a CQI value and a measured rate table while an AMC table controlling section selects an object MCS value according to the decided MIMO communication system and CQI value. The AMC table controlling section changes the MCS value step by step according to a transmission count and a result (success/failure) of the communication. If the communication (receiving) is successful or if the transmission count reaches the maximum value, the controlling section updates the mean value of the measured rate table. At this time, based on a value estimated from the combination of the MIMO communication system, the encoding system, and the modulating system that are used currently, the controlling section changes the reference for selecting another combination that are not used currently.
