Abstract: The quality of signals during SDMA is raised. In an uplink, a signal processing unit receives signals respectively from a plurality of terminal apparatuses which have been multiple-accessed by division of time. It derives receiving channel characteristics corresponding to the plurality of terminal apparatuses, respectively, for each time slot. In a downlink, the signal processing unit derives transmitting channel characteristics from the receiving channel characteristics derived and, based on the transmitting channel characteristics derived, it transmits signals respectively to the plurality of terminal apparatuses to which SDMA has been performed.

Abstract: The A/D converter changes sampling timing of a received signal in a synchronization acquisition mode and a synchronization tracking mode. The A/D converter generates an internal clock of a sampling frequency eight times a symbol rate under the control of the clock control unit in the synchronization acquisition mode. On the other hand, in the synchronization tracking mode, the A/D converter generates an internal clock with a symbol point and one each point before and after the symbol point as sampling timing under the control of the clock control unit. The A/D converter further corrects the sampling timing of the symbol point based on the squares of the maximum value of a correlation value between the received signal and a reference signal and the absolute values of correlation values before and after the maximum value.

Abstract: In a radio reception apparatus compatible with adaptive modulation, based on a received IQ signal processed by a reception processing unit, a determining unit calculates EVM that corresponds to a magnitude of shift-off between a true symbol point and the received symbol point. The calculated EVM is averaged and thereafter applied to a control unit. The control unit compares the applied EVM with a prescribed threshold value, and determines with high accuracy, switching among a plurality of modulation methods having different multi-value numbers.

Abstract: A transmission weight vector computing unit computes transmission weight vectors. A transmission weight vector correcting unit obtains a corrected transmission weight vector W?(t). A predicted receiving power computing unit computes a predicted receiving power value Y(t). If a difference between the predicted receiving power value Y(t) and a predicted receiving power value in the past Y(t-T) is less than a threshold value, an update unit selects the corrected transmission weight vector W?(t). If, on the other hand, the difference is greater or equal to the threshold value, the update unit selects a corrected weight vector in the past W?(t-xT). If the modulation method is QPSK, a setting unit selects the transmission weight vector W(t). If the modulation method is 16 QAM, the setting unit selects the corrected transmission weight vector W?(t) or W?(t-xT) and outputs it as a final transmission weight vector signal.

Abstract: In a radio reception apparatus, a quadrature detector provides its digital output signal to a band-limiting filter after lowering a sampling frequency by a sampling frequency converter. Based on a correlation value obtained from an output of the band-limiting filter by a symbol timing detecting circuit, a symbol timing deviation detecting circuit detects a magnitude and a direction of a deviation of the timing of sampling in the sampling frequency converter, and controls timing of the sampling in the sampling frequency converter. Thereby, a symbol point of the correct timing is extracted.
