Abstract: In a wireless communication system for communicating with a plurality of stations at the same point of time with the same frequency using a Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA), wireless resources are allocated by a first decision unit which evaluates performance of each station obtained when the SDMA is used and which determines periods of time to be allocated to groups of stations formed according to the SDMA technique. Using a first evaluation unit and a second evaluation unit to evaluate performance required by each station and each application, the first decision unit allocates the wireless resources to the stations. It is therefore possible that the wireless resources are efficiently allocated to the stations while preventing an event in which the wireless resources are excessive or insufficient for required quality of service.

Abstract: By using the delay profile created by delay profile creating section 102 and the first threshold value 330 received from the first threshold value calculation 105, the first threshold value timing detection section 103 selects only the earliest receive timing exceeding the first threshold value, from all the timing that the correlation value in the delay profile becomes a maximum. By using the receive timing and the second threshold value 331 received from the second threshold value calculation section 107, reference timing calculation section 106 selects the reference timing required for calculating the receive timing for the incoming wave of the minimum propagation delay time. The timing delayed by previously set timing behind said reference timing is sent from receive timing calculation section 108 as the receive timing 113 of the incoming wave of the minimum propagation delay time.

Abstract: At least three base stations transmit a specific signal pattern at given intervals. This allows a mobile station that received this signal pattern to locate itself by using the positional information about the base stations, sending timing (or information on phase shift from the reference time) of each signal pattern from the base stations, and signal pattern receiving time information. At least one of the above base stations changes the sending timing of the signal pattern. On this occasion, the mobile terminal or station is notified of the altered reference time offset (or information on phase shift from the reference time) of the sending timing or updated sending timing of the signal pattern.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless communication system capable of performing demodulation at the receiving side without substantially deteriorating BER characteristics, regardless of carrier frequency error existing among plural wireless communication systems in SDMA of uplink. The wireless communication system includes plural antennas; a MIMO processor that decomposes a reception signal the plural antennas received from plural transmitters into transmission signals transmitted from the respective transmitters; a FFT processor that carries out OFDM demodulation; and a demapping unit that obtains data from signals which were previously converted into sub-carrier signals by the FFT processor, in which the MIMO processor is installed ahead of the FFT processor for sake of the processing sequence of a receive signal, and even though a carrier frequency offset exists in the reception signal MIMO processing is performed prior to OFDM demodulation to split the reception signal from plural transmitters.

Abstract: The mobile station has a monitor for monitoring the communication qualities of plural wireless interfaces and selecting one of the wireless interfaces to communicate, and a memory for storing the correspondence between the address unique to the selected wireless interface and the network address unique to the mobile station. The mobile station notifies the gateway of the correspondence. The mobile station supplies power to a not operating wireless interface at constant intervals and during a constant time to monitor the communication quality.

The system performs parallel data transmission from a plurality of access points to a plurality of user terminals. On terminals with power control function, their transmit power can be set to minimize interference. The wireless communication system comprises a management server which performs centralized management of time of access-point-to-terminal packet transmission, access points, and user terminals that perform data transmission, according to transmission time control information from the management server. Transmit queues for measuring downlink traffic and receive queues for measuring uplink traffic are provided on the access points or the management server. The system determines uplink and downlink periods from the transmit and receive queue lengths.

Abstract: A time slot for a connection request sent from a mobile station includes the mobile station ID and the application discrimination word of the object application for which the mobile station requests the connection. By referring to the database, a base station assigns a MDC preferentially to a mobile station issuing a connection request for calling a high priority application. The base station monitors the MDCs used for ongoing communications. If a MDC assigned to a mobile station does not satisfy a predetermined radio communication quality, other MDCs for lower priority application are freed and reassigned to the mobile station. A plurality of MDCs including the reassigned MDCs into which the same contents are encapsulated are transmitted to the mobile station.

Abstract: A wireless communication system has no limitation in the number of AP antennas and UT antennas, and determines the parallel-communication data units to be a maximum value of MIMO communication, such that it provides a MIMO-SDMA wireless data communication system having superior transmission characteristics. The MIMO-SDMA wireless data communication system includes a single AP (Access Point) and U UTs (User Terminals) communicating with the AP using the same frequency signal at the same time. The UT includes the SDMA reception (Rx) processor, and synthesizes Rx signals of antennas, such that it controls the number of Rx data units. By the control of the number of Rx data units, the communication system controls the number of parallel-communication data units to be equal to a maximum value capable of being implemented by the MIMO-SDMA wireless data communication. The AP informs the UTs of a coefficient matrix required for the SDMA Rx process, prior to transmitting actual data.

Abstract: The code system is realized by that a plurality of waveforms A and B each having duty ratios of 50% in which only any one of a rising edge and a falling edge is present are combined with each other, and “1” and “0” are allocated to the combined waveform. In accordance with the present invention, both a clock and data can be transmitted at the same time, and can be readily demodulated without using a complex PLL circuit. As a trial manufacture according to the present invention, the demodulator could be realized which could allow variations contained in an input frequency by more than 1 digit under operating voltage of 2 V. The effectiveness of this patent could be confirmed.

Abstract: A charging system for use in a network composed of wireless terminals with a repeater function. As each terminal with a repeater function receives a communication session start request from a user terminal, it searches for a destination user terminal; when it finds the destination user terminal, it transfers the signal sent from the requesting user terminal to the destination user terminal without the mediation of base stations. The information about the amount of data thus transferred or communication time for transferring data is sent to the charging system which is under the control of the communications service provider concerned.

Abstract: A contactless IC card having an antenna, a transmit/receive circuit for recovering data (clock) and electric power from a carrier signal received by the antenna, a logic circuit operated with the electric power supplied thereto from the transmit/receive circuit, and a memory. The transmit/receive circuit has a rectifier circuit for outputting data (clock) and rectifier circuits for electric power in such a manner that the carrier signal is inputted to each of the rectifier circuit for outputting data (clock) and the rectifier circuit for electric power. With this configuration, high frequency matching can be optimized separately for the rectifier circuit for outputting data (clock) and the rectifier circuit for electric power. It is also possible to separately optimize adjustments to a voltage of recovered data (clock) and a recovered supply voltage.
