Abstract: A transmitter includes: a transmission control circuit that determines whether or not to perform an emphasis on a data signal, based on a transition pattern of the data signal; and a transmission driver that selectively performs the emphasis based on a result of the determination by the transmission control circuit, to generate at least one transmission signal.

Abstract: A partial response transmission system in which a data signal is transmitted from a transmission side to a reception side through a transmission medium, includes an equalizing circuit provided in the transmission side or the reception side, and configured to adjust a transfer function for an entire system including the transmission medium to a desired transfer function by delaying input data over a plurality of states in units of a period equal to a transition time of a single bit response by the desired transfer function of a partial response transmission and by weighing and adding data in the plurality of stages; and a deciding circuit provided in the reception side and configured to decide an output data from a signal received through the transmission medium through processing under consideration of the desired transfer function.

Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for selecting an appropriate base station and an optimal data rate to provide a voice service and a data service based on a voice service load in a CDMA system. A base station transmits two pilot signals orthogonally spread with different orthogonal codes in association with its voice service load, and a mobile station estimates the voice service load based on a pilot power ratio.
