  • Patent number: 8565227
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data communication technology which is capable of securing flexibly a bandwidth for a traffic that is generated and which enables effective use of access lines or wireless resource. A mobile router uses a plurality of communication means, retains a plurality of narrow band communication routes for communicating with the home agent, and configures a broad band communication route by using the plurality of the narrow band communication routes as a single logical communication route. This enables a bandwidth to be flexibly secured in accordance with the traffic which is generated in the mobile network. In this case, the home agent is enabled to effectively use the access lines by referring to the route information so as to determine the destination address. Furthermore, it is possible to save the wireless resource under the initiative of the user by dynamically connecting to an alternative line or disconnecting a line which is being used in response to a request of the user.

  • Patent number: 7158769
    Abstract: An alerting device allowing easy estimation of possible interference and useful suggestions to eliminate deteriorated communication quality due to interference is disclosed. A signal including a band used by a target radio communication system is selected from a received signal based on a prescribed system specification of the radio communication system. A detected signal level of the selected signal is detected and compared with the prescribed interference level. When the detected signal level is greater than the prescribed interference level, it is determined that interference occurs. Further, an interference source is estimated by analyzing the selected signal with respect to time and frequency components.

  • Publication number: 20060083261
    Abstract: Establishment of a connection between a wireless terminal and a destination terminal for data transmission. The wireless terminal is connectable to at least two communication networks each of which is connected to an internet. The destination terminal is connected to the internet. First, one of the communication networks is selected at the wireless terminal based on communication quality of the communication networks. Next, a path through the selected communication network is selected at the wireless terminal based on the network address of the destination terminal. And then a connection is established between the wireless terminal and the destination terminal through the selected path.

  • Patent number: 7020461
    Abstract: To provide a propagation environment notification method in radio communication allowing a user to easily understand radio propagation environment information. When receiving a service start command C1 from a user terminal 100, a server 102 transfers software for clients to the user terminal 100 (C2). The user terminal 100 starts the transferred software for clients, and a user condition inputting process P2 is carried out to collect user specific information and radio base station information and transfer the same to the server 102 (C3). When receiving the information, the server 102 starts a distribution information generating process P1 for generating radio propagation environment information based on the information, and the generated information is transferred to the user terminal 100 (C4), and is converted into a format convenient for the user by the software for clients transferred on the user terminal 100, and displayed on the user terminal 100 (P3).

  • Patent number: RE39981
    Abstract: A packet receiver is provided that accurately estimates a frequency offset and a channel impulse response even when a transmitted packet is detected with an erroneous timing in a communication mode (typified by the LAN (local Area Network)) where packets are asynchronously transmitted, and thus provides a training sequence which can demodulate the received packet. The training sequence 101 is formed of K sequences 100-1 to 100-K serially connected, each formed of the same N symbols. Even in a channel where a intersymbol interference occurs when such a training sequence is used, a received signal shifted by the time corresponding to N-symbols becomes the signal which is different by a phase difference caused by a frequency offset between the transmitter and the receiver. Thus, even if the head of a packet is detected with an erroneous timing, the frequency offset can be estimated.
