Publication number: 20240094369Abstract: A reading apparatus includes a mechanism to move an antenna between first and second positions, and a controller configured to: (a) control the antenna to transmit radio waves to wireless tags each attached to an object when the antenna is between the first and second positions; acquire, from response waves, information registered in each tag and indicating attributes of the object and the tag, and signal values of the response waves; and calculate an estimated position of each tag and a reliability level thereof based on the values. When the level of the position of a tag is less than a threshold or when the information of a tag indicates an attribute that can affect radio communications, the controller performs step (a) again, acquires signal values of response waves received from the tag, and calculates an estimated position of the tag and a reliability level thereof based on the values.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Wataru SAKURAI, Nobuo MUROFUSHI, Shigeaki SUZUKI, Yuki SUZUKI, Masaki KIMURA, Yuichiro KAWABE, Haruka OTAKE

Publication number: 20210289440Abstract: A communication system capable of preventing unnecessary switching of an energy saving cell between a normal operation state and an energy saving state. An energy saving cell (ES cell) is in a dormant state that is the energy saving state. In this case, when being notified of a wake-up request message from a communication terminal device (UE), the ES cell executes access restriction control to judge whether the UE can access its own cell. If judging that the UE can access its own cell, the ES cell switches on its own cell and shifts from the dormant state to an active state that is the normal operation state.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2021Publication date: September 16, 2021Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Mitsuru MOCHIZUKI, Noriyuki FUKUI, Haruka SUZUKI
