  • Patent number: 8923227
    Abstract: A decrease in weight calculation accuracy in MMSE combining caused by a shift in the discrete Fourier transform timing of received signals is prevented. A wireless communication apparatus BS1 includes an MMSE combining processing unit 31 that performs MMSE combining based on frequency domain received signals obtained by performing a discrete Fourier transform on received signals. The wireless communication apparatus BS1 includes an amount-of-phase-rotation estimating unit 32 that estimates an amount of phase rotation occurring in the frequency domain received signals due to a shift in discrete Fourier transform timing of the received signals; and reverse rotation units 33a and 33b that apply a reverse rotation of an amount of rotation corresponding to the amount of phase rotation estimated by the amount-of-phase-rotation estimating unit 32, to the frequency domain received signals.

  • Patent number: 8687514
    Abstract: Interference suppression by beam forming is achieved even in an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) system. A base station device 1 performs communication based on FDD. The base station device 1 includes a downlink signal reception unit 12 that receives a downlink signal transmitted from another base station device. The base station device 1 performs a beam forming process for directing a null beam to an arrival direction of the downlink signal from the another base station device, by using transmission path information between the base station device and the another base station device, the information being available from the downlink signal received by the downlink signal reception unit 12.

  • Publication number: 20120243503
    Abstract: There is provided a communication apparatus capable of effectively removing interference waves from a received signal while reducing the computation load. The communication apparatus includes a weight calculating unit. The weight calculating unit includes a calculating unit and a selecting unit. The calculating unit calculates a first weight and a second weight. The first weight is obtained, for a target known signal being an update target, by updating, using the target known signal, a weight of a first another known signal updated immediately before performing an update using the target known signal. The second weight is obtained, for a target known signal being an update target, by updating, using the target known signal, a weight of a second another known signal. The selecting unit selects one of the first weight and the second weight that has a lower estimation error.
