  • Patent number: 6813357
    Abstract: In a set-up phase, the base station formulates the secret key S and holds it in secret. The secret information Si which are obtained by dividing the secret key S are distributed in secret to respective terminals 1 to 5 by using cryptographic communication means. In a preparatory phase, the base station 0 broadcasts the preparatory information C1(=gk modp), the exclusive information C2(=y5k modp), the ciphertext C3(=M×K modp), and the particular terminal number 5 to all terminals. In a key sharing phase, the terminal 1 calculates a product of C1{circumflex over ( )}(&lgr;(1, &Lgr;) modq) modp and C2{circumflex over ( )}(&lgr;(5, &Lgr;) modq) modp by using the preparatory information C1 and the exclusive information C2 to obtain K and then calculates M, which are common data to the base station 0, by dividing the ciphertext C3 by K. The terminals 2 to 4 execute similar calculations. As a result, the terminals 1 to 4 can share mutually the common data M.

  • Patent number: 6804507
    Abstract: When a page message containing a caller ID is received from a caller, a call back message containing one of prepared response messages is transmitted to a call number associated with the caller ID. For this, the system displays the prepared response messages and prompts the user to select one of them. A call back message is compiled from a call back number associated with a caller ID contained in the page message and the selected response message. The call back message is transmitted to the call back number. The compilation of call back message is performed such that the format of call back message is adapted to the type of the caller's communication device associated with the caller ID.

  • Patent number: 6766172
    Abstract: A road vehicle communication method allows bothway communication to be held between a mobile station, which sends a request for an information service and receives it, and a central base station and local base stations located at a roadside for sending the information service to the mobile station. The central base station and the local base stations use optical fibers in part of the transmission path thereof for the bothway communication and perform at least one of electric-to-optical conversion and optical-to-electric conversion. The mobile station is caused to send the request for an information service beforehand. In response to the request, the local base station covering the mobile station expected to receive the information service is estimated. When the mobile station lies in a service area to which the local base station estimated is assigned, a control station is caused to provide the mobile station with information corresponding to the information service requested.

  • Patent number: 6289064
    Abstract: A synchronization equipment performs correlation processing between a first known pattern included in a received signal and a second known pattern, and detects reception timing of the received signal. A correlation value computing portion computes a correlation value between the first known pattern and the second known pattern at every reception time. A reception timing detection portion compares the computed related value with a predetermined threshold value, determines the reception time when the correlation value becomes larger than the threshold value to be the reception timing of a received signal, and, after this determination, suspends the comparison between the correlation value and the threshold value, and holds the reception time determined to be the reception timing.

  • Patent number: 6032029
    Abstract: An equalizer block forming part of a receiver compensates transmission path characteristics of a baseband received signal to generate a prediction signal, and differential-logic-converts a demodulated signal generated by demodulating the prediction signal to generate a differential-logic-conversion demodulated signal. A differential-detection demodulator block differential-detects the prediction signal from the equalizer block and subsequently demodulates the differential-detected prediction signal to generate a differential-detection demodulated signal. A selector block selects either the differential-logic-conversion demodulated signal from the equalizer block or the differential-detection demodulated signal from the difference-detection demodulator block.

  • Patent number: 5500856
    Abstract: A base station of a CDMA communication system includes a transmission de-correlator for eliminating interferences between communication channels of a downlink. The transmission de-correlator has a memory storing a set of data representative of the products of transmission information bits for the respective channels, and the sums of the products of the spread code data sequences for the respective channels, and the elements of an inverse matrix with respect to a predetermined matrix of a cross-correlation between the spread code data sequences for the respective channels. The sums correspond to additions of the products along a direction of columns or to additions of the products along a direction of rows of the inverse matrix. A counting device is operative for causing the memory to sequentially output the data therefrom. An adder serves to calculate a sum of the data outputted from the memory.
