Publication number: 20160057674Abstract: The invention is intended to, even in a situation where there are many candidate wireless base stations (WBSs) to which a mobile terminal (MT) may connect, get information of communication conditions between the MT and each of those WBSs and determine an WBS to which the MT should connect in a shorter time. A coverage area of the first WBS is overlapped partially at least by a coverage area of the second WBS. The MT transmits a signal for connection using a predetermined frequency. Upon receiving the signal for connection, the second WBSs each notify the WBS communication manager of their reception results of the signal for connection. The WBS communication manager selects a second WBS to communicate with the MT based on the reception results and notifies the selected second WBS to transmit a response signal to the signal for connection to the MT.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: Eriko TAKEDA, Takashi ISHIKAWA, Satoshi TAMAKI, Go ONO, Katsuhiko TSUNEHARA, Kenzaburo FUJISHIMA

Patent number: 8413030Abstract: The error correction capability for wireless communication carried out involving propagation path fluctuation in time and frequency selectivity can be improved. A soft decision likelihood value inputted to an error correction decoder is multiplied by a weight determined according to the distance between the data symbol and pilot symbol corresponding to the soft decision likelihood value. Namely, the soft decision bit likelihood value corresponding to the data symbol is weighted according to the distances in time or frequency between the pilot symbol and data symbol. The weight is made smaller when the distance in time or frequency is larger.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc.Inventors: Katsuhiko Tsunehara, Yunjian Jia
