Patent number: 8958505Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc.Inventors: Satoru Ejima, Takehiko Kobayashi, Keat Beng Toh

Patent number: 8605813Abstract: 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.

Patent number: 8467471Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Hitachi Kokusai Electric, Inc.Inventors: Takashi Yano, Masashi Naito, Takehiko Kobayashi

Patent number: 8451923Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc.Inventors: Takashi Yano, Masashi Naito, Takehiko Kobayashi
