  • Patent number: 11641659
    Abstract: [Problem] A base station includes a plurality of radio communication units individually supporting a plurality of communication capabilities, and controls a terminal station to be connected with the base station to select a radio communication unit according to a communication scheme of the terminal station. [Solution] Provided is a radio communication method of a radio communication system. The radio communication system includes a plurality of base stations mounted with a plurality of radio communication units for which different communication schemes are settable, a terminal station configured to perform radio communication in a certain communication scheme, and a centralized control station configured to control the plurality of base stations.

  • Patent number: 11601879
    Abstract: [Problem] The base station includes a plurality of radio communication units configured to individually support a plurality of communication capabilities, and performs, for a terminal station that is connected to the base station, control for selecting a radio communication unit based on a communication scheme supported in the terminal station. [Solution] Provided is a radio communication method for a radio communication system including a plurality of base stations provided with a plurality of radio communication units for which different communication schemes are settable, and a terminal station configured to perform radio communication with the radio communication unit of the base station by using a specific communication scheme.

  • Patent number: 11432235
    Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication control method, in which a management server manages line selection of an unlicensed band/licensed band of a UE and manages parameters of the unlicensed band, including a control step of excluding the UE that uses the licensed band from an optimization target in an unlicensed band system and optimizing the parameters of the unlicensed band in consideration of existence of an STA and the UE that uses the unlicensed band, which is caused by the management server. Furthermore, a pattern when a total of a communication capacity in the unlicensed band and a communication capacity in the licensed band after the optimization of the parameters of the unlicensed band becomes high is adopted for the line selection of the UE, and the parameters of the unlicensed band after the optimization of the line selection are set for an AP, the STA, and the UE of the unlicensed band.

  • Patent number: 11153919
    Abstract: An AP and UE, which perform access control using CSMA/CA, perform a step judging an exposed level in transmission of the AP based on a congesting level in transmission, which is caused by a wireless station in defer transmission that is in a neighborhood of the AP; a step judging an exposed level in reception of the UE based on a congesting level in reception, which is caused by a wireless station in defer transmission that is in a neighborhood of the UE; and a step performing control which changes a channel of the AP, when the exposed level in transmission cannot satisfy expected quality of the AP, and performing control which changes a connected AP of the UE, or control which changes to other network, when the exposed level in transmission or in reception cannot satisfy required quality of the UE or the expected quality of the AP.

  • Patent number: 10681735
    Abstract: Provided is a wireless environment evaluation method including a step 1 acquiring a transmission and reception history of wireless signals transmitted and received between the plurality of wireless stations and acquiring or estimating a number of wireless stations in transmission standby, based on the transmission and reception history; a step 2 calculating a normal reception rate S in a congesting situation in reception according to the number of wireless stations in transmission standby; a step 3 acquiring a normal reception rate S? of the wireless signals per a fixed channel use time from the transmission and reception history in the prescribed wireless station; and a step 4 determining a degree of the exposed situation in reception according to a ratio of the normal reception rate S? to the normal reception rate S.
