  • Publication number: 20040198235
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a terminal station and a plurality of base stations. The terminal station includes a received power measuring unit that measures a power of radio signals transmitted from the base stations, and a combined signal selector that selects a combined signal used for diversity combining, an interference signal suppression controller that generates a transmission power suppress command based on a received power difference between the combined signal and an interference signal not having been selected as the combined signal, and a transmission processor that outputs the command to the base stations. The base station suppresses the transmission power for the terminal station by a predetermined attenuation amount when receiving the command.

  • Publication number: 20040180695
    Abstract: A setting unit (4) determines basic information on a modulation method, a coding ratio, and a puncturing rule based on a quality signal at each base station (5) that is measured at a mobile station (12).

  • Publication number: 20040076172
    Abstract: A transmitting apparatus adds a common pilot symbol and known series for each data slot of a subcarrier group. A receiving apparatus combines SIR calculation values obtained for each subcarrier group, and averages the SIR calculation values. Based on this, it is possible to obtain a high-precision SIR calculation value even when there is a level fluctuation such as shadowing.

  • Publication number: 20040048593
    Abstract: A path detector (105) detects multipath waves on a transmission line based on a plurality of despread signals corresponding to fixed directional beams. An adaptive beam forming section (106-1 to 106-L) forms an adaptive beam combined signal for each path, using a weight generated by an adaptive algorithm and the despread signals. An adder (107) combines the adaptive beam signals for all paths, and a data judging section (108) judges data included in the combined signal.

  • Patent number: 5697083
    Abstract: A diversity receiver. Antennas are provided for respective branches. Each of the antennas generates a branch signal by receiving a radio signal through a radio signal path. The paths are different from each other. A reliability extraction circuit is provided to extract the reliability information of respective branch signals from them during an observation period. The observation period is set such that the radio signal paths appear to be equivalent to white noise Gaussian transmission paths, regardless of the occurrence of fading. Normally, the observation period is sufficiently shorter than a variance period of the branch signals due to the fading. After extracting the reliability information, weights for the respective branch signals are determined on the basis of the reliability information. The branch signals are linearly combined in accordance with the weights, and the signal thus obtained is output. As the reliability information, probability information are available.
