Patent number: 10601631Abstract: A receiving method for receiving a plurality of carriers and generating one or a plurality of streams. The method includes a first demodulating step of processing a first transmission signal and generating a first demodulation output; a second demodulating step of processing a second transmission signal different from the first transmission signal and generating a second demodulation output; a combining step of generating one stream based on the first demodulation output and the second demodulation output; a selecting step of selecting one among the first demodulation output and the one stream, and generating a selected stream; and a back-end processing step of generating an output for a display from the selected stream and the second demodulation output. In the selecting step, the first demodulation output is selected in a receiving mode in single channel transmission, and the one stream is selected in a receiving mode in multiple channel transmission.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: SOCIONEXT INC.Inventors: Hisateru Kobatake, Teruaki Hasegawa

Patent number: 9503960Abstract: An interfering wave is detected using, in a received signal including a preamble and a control signal field, a plurality of symbols including a symbol configuring the preamble and a symbol configuring the control signal field. The received signal has one of a plurality of transmission formats that use at least either a first frequency band or a second frequency band. In a signal quality detector, a symbol differential calculator calculates, in each of the first frequency band and the second frequency band, differences between a certain number of symbols adjacent to one another at predetermined positions in a time domain among the plurality of symbols. A square operator performs square operations on results of the calculation of differences. An interference determiner determines, using results of the square operations, whether each of the first frequency band and the second frequency band includes an interfering wave.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Shigeru Soga, Ippei Kanno, Yoshinobu Matsumura, Hisateru Kobatake, Teruaki Hasegawa
