    Abstract: In a wireless communication base station device, a modulation unit carries out modulation processing for Dch data after coding to generate a Dch data symbol. A modulation unit carries out modulation processing for Lch data after coding to generate an Lch data symbol. An allocation unit allocates the Dch data symbol and Lch data symbol to each sub-carrier composing an OFDM symbol and outputs the allocated sub-carrier to a multiplex unit. In this case, the allocation unit allocates the Dch data symbol to a plurality of resource blocks where one Dch is arranged at an interval equal to integral multiples of the number of resource blocks composing a resource block group.

  • Patent number: 10177780
    Abstract: In the conventional technique, only an output having a bandwidth identical to the bandwidth of individual DACs has been obtained even by using a plurality of DACs. Also, even when the output of a bandwidth broader than the individual DAC is obtained, there has been a problem associated with asymmetricity of a circuit configuration. In a signal generating device of the present invention, a plurality of normal DACs are combined to realize an analog output of a broader bandwidth beyond the output bandwidth of the individual DACs, and the problem of the asymmetricity of the circuit configuration is also resolved. A desired signal is separated into a low-frequency signal and a high-frequency signal in a frequency domain, and a series of operation of constant (r)-folding the amplitude of the high-frequency signal and shifting it on the frequency axis to superimpose it on the low-frequency signal are made in a digital domain. The output of each DAC is switched by an analog multiplexer.

  • Patent number: 10158398
    Abstract: A wireless communication terminal apparatus wherein CoMP communication can normally be performed without increasing the overhead of an upstream line control channel. In this apparatus, a spreading unit primarily spreads a response signal by use of a ZAC sequence established by a control unit. A spreading unit secondarily spreads the response signal, to which CP has been added, by use of a block-wise spread code sequence established by the control unit. The control unit controls, in accordance with sequence numbers and a hopping pattern established therein, the circular shift amount of the ZAC sequence to be used for the primary spread in the spreading unit and the block-wise spread code sequence to be used for the secondary spread in the spreading unit. The hopping pattern established in the control unit is a hopping pattern common to a plurality of base stations that CoMP-receive the response signal.

  • Patent number: 10151783
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for determining an antenna characteristic of an antenna under test in free space is disclosed. Measurement results of a transmitted power of a measurement signal transmitted between the reference antenna and an antenna under test are detected, wherein detecting takes place in the frequency domain. The detected measurement results are transformed into the time domain and a time-domain filter is applied to the measurement results converted into the time domain. A filter width of the time-domain filter is determined in dependence on a spatial distance between the reference antenna and the antenna under test. Measurement result portions that result due to a multipath propagation of the measurement signal between the reference antenna and the antenna under test are reduced or removed.
