  • Patent number: 7583966
    Abstract: An active set control method for handover operation in a CDMA communications system in which propagation conditions of an uplink channel and a downlink channel for an access link of cell are different, provides that when a cell is deleted from the active set based on a request of a base station which has detected a degraded signal of the uplink channel, a predetermined period of time is to be counted for inhibiting addition of the same cell in the active set based on a request of a mobile terminal which has detected a satisfied signal of the downlink channel, thereby preventing the deletion and addition of the cell in the active set from successive operations in a short time.

  • Publication number: 20070004416
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile terminal transmission scheduling method for a mobile communication system. In each cell of this system, adjustment regions are provided externally adjacent to a soft-hand-over region. A mobile terminal (MT), upon entering this adjustment region, transmits an adjustment region scheduling request to a radio network controller (RNC) via a base station (BS) to which the MT currently belongs. The RNC transmits a scheduling adjustment start request to this BS. Upon receiving this request, this BS moves to an adjustment scheduling operating state and adjusts a scheduling control signal internally generated in the BS. The MT, upon exiting this adjustment region, transmits an adjustment region scheduling release request to the RNC via a BS to which the MT currently belongs. The RNC transmits a scheduling adjustment end request to this BS. Upon receiving this end request, this BS returns to a normal scheduling operating state.

  • Publication number: 20060246905
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile terminal transmission scheduling method for use in a base station within a mobile communication network. This method is executed in the following process. A base station acquires position information and a speed of a mobile terminal. When the base station judges that the mobile terminal is within the cell and outside the specified region and also judges that the speed is large, the base station outputs a scheduling adjustment indication signal. The base station normally transmits to a mobile terminal a scheduling control signal as it is that is generated within the basestation. Further, when the scheduling adjustment indication signal is generated, the base station transmits to the mobile terminal an additional scheduling control signal for instructing the mobile terminal to change its transmission rate.

  • Publication number: 20060116156
    Abstract: Each base station measures the reception states of an uplink high-speed signal from mobile terminals and periodically reports the measurement results to a radio network controller (RNC). The RNC determines cells that are to be deleted from an active set based on the reception states (for example, the reception SIR) that are reported from each base station. The RNC transmits to one base station and mobile terminal a radio line release request for releasing the radio line of the uplink high-speed signal that has been set to a cell that has been determined as a cell to be deleted from the active set. The base station and mobile terminal that have received the radio line release request from the RNC each release the radio line, whereby the cells of other base stations are eliminated from the active set.

The second spreading code generator generates a second spreading code sequence. The second correlator calculates second correlation between the second spreading code sequence and a second quasi-coherent signal corresponding to a second received signal received by the CDMA base station. The phase determining circuit determines a first phase of the first spreading code sequence based on an added quasi-coherent signal to which the first and second quasi-coherent signals are added.

  • Patent number: 5987072
    Abstract: In phase modulation of the quadrature signals of a multi-valued digital signal, when the signal state transition is .pi. [rad], the spectrum of a nonlinear amplifier extends beyond the transmission bandwidth, and the conversion distortion becomes conspicuous. A phase modulation apparatus includes a phase shifter (11) which receives a multi-valued digital signal, converts the digital signal into two quadrature signals such that a period for which the self phase shift amount of the digital signal on an orthogonal coordinate system becomes .pi./2 [rad] at the time of state transition of the digital signal is always obtained, and outputs the quadrature signals, a bandwidth limiting filter (12) which band-limits the outputs from the phase shifter (11), and a phase modulator (13) for phase-modulating the output from the bandwidth limiting filter (12). Since the state transition is .pi.

  • Patent number: 5876870
    Abstract: At step S21, a residual amount judging section of abattery residual amount display circuit measures a battery voltage. If a mode transition is detected at step S22, the process returns to step S21 without executing the subsequent steps. If it is judged at step S23 that the operation mode is a reception-waiting mode, the process goes to step S24, where the battery amount judging section judges a battery residual amount by comparing the detected battery voltage with threshold values. If the operation mode is judged to be a transmission mode, the battery residual amount judging section determines a voltage drop during a transmission at step S25, and converts the voltage drop into a battery voltage of a reception waiting mode at step S26 by subtracting the voltage drop from a batter voltage obtained in a reception waiting mode immediately before the mode transition.
