  • Patent number: 8675759
    Abstract: A wireless transmission system performs multi-station simultaneous transmission of data. The wireless transmission system includes wireless stations for transmitting and receiving data. Transmitter-side wireless stations, a multipath channel, and receiver-side wireless stations constitute a system for path diversity. At least one wireless station among the wireless stations determines, depending on a response packet with respective to a multi-station simultaneous transmission request packet transmitted by itself or other stations, delay amounts from a reference timing during multi-station simultaneous transmission in the wireless transmission system, and symbol waveforms that are a basis for a modulated waveform. A difference between each delay amount is set to be larger than or equal to a predetermined delay resolution for each symbol waveform, and a difference between maximum and minimum values of the delay amounts is set to be smaller than or equal to a predetermined maximum delay.

  • Patent number: 8229015
    Abstract: A wireless transmission system capable of exerting a maximum path diversity effect by using combinations formed by symbol waveforms. A transmission timing controlling section (23) determines a transmission start timing. A modulating section (21) modulates a signal by using one of a plurality of symbol waveform candidates and by utilizing a modulation scheme in which a phase transition of a symbol waveform represents a waveform being changed, and then transmits the modulated signal at a transmission start timing. A predetermined delay amount is set such that (i) the number of reception timings, each indicating a timing at which a receiving station (12) receives a signal, is a plural number and is less than or equal to a maximum number of effective branches for each symbol waveform, and (ii) each time difference between the reception timings is greater than or equal to a delay resolution and less than or equal to a maximum delay.

  • Patent number: 8170130
    Abstract: A transmission device includes a differential encoding section for differentially encoding transmission data, a first waveform generation section, a second waveform generation section, and two transmission antennas. A reception device includes a reception antenna, a delay detection section, and a data determination section for low-pass filtering a delay detection signal. The reception device receives modulated signals modulated by using two waveforms having low correlations with each other. Thus, regardless of the presence or absence of delay dispersion in a propagation path and even in a high-speed fading in which the propagation path varies at high speed, a transmission diversity effect can be achieved, thereby making it possible to improve transmission characteristics.

  • Patent number: 7899139
    Abstract: A detected signal 111 contains a preamble portion which includes symbol alternations, followed by a unique word portion, and a data portion. Each time a symbol alternation is detected, a correction value calculation section 102 averages the phase shift in the detected signal 111 for a predetermined length, thereby calculating a correction value 115. The correction value determination section 103 stores a plurality of correction values 115 in a chronological order. When the unique word portion is detected, the correction value determination section 103 retains, as an effective correction value 118, a correction value which is arrived at by going back a predetermined number of correction values among the stored correction values. A phase rotation section 104 corrects the phase of the detected signal 111 by using an effective correction value 118 calculated by the correction value determination section 103.

  • Patent number: 7773568
    Abstract: A inter-station transmission method of extending time allocated for a transmission path delay of an inter-station transmission path within a predetermined turnaround time, and increasing an inter-station transmission distance. A radio base station reproduces a clock synchronized with a BSU transmission clock DCLK used when transmitting downlink transmission data from a communication control station. The radio base station processes the downlink transmission data. The clock synchronization eliminates a necessity of data format conversion between the communication control station and the radio base station, a buffer accumulating transmission data in preparation for the conversion is not necessary. This reduces a turnaround time of a mobile communication system.

  • Patent number: 7756218
    Abstract: A wireless transmission system exerts a maximum path diversity effect even if the maximum number of effective branches is limited to a small number. A transmission timing control section determines a transmission start timing to be a timing obtained by delaying a reference timing by a predetermined delay amount. A modulation section modulates a signal by a modulation scheme such that an anti-multipath property is exerted when the signal is demodulated on a receiver side, and transmits the modulated signal at the transmission start timing. In a receiving station, a demodulation section demodulates the receive signal to obtain receive data.
