  • Patent number: 8190105
    Abstract: To adaptively switch a modulation mode according to an operation form of quality-priority and capacity-priority in a multi-value applicable radio device having an active/standby configuration. The comparison unit 28a compares a reception monitoring signal c1 of an active transmission line with a lower-limit threshold LS and an upper-limit threshold HS, while the comparison unit 28b compares a reception monitoring signal c2 of a standby transmission line with the lower-limit threshold and the upper-limit threshold. Then, they output their respective results to a determination unit 28c. The determination unit 28c has therein a low-level flag and a high-level flag that are set/reset based on comparison results in the comparison units 28a and 28b. Conditions for the set/reset are different depending on the operation form.

  • Patent number: 8086259
    Abstract: A radio communication apparatus includes a control unit for conducting modulation scheme changeover control to change a modulation scheme according to a state of a transmission path and automatic transmitter power control to control a transmission level of another radio communication apparatus to set a reception level of a reception signal to be received by the own apparatus to a predetermined value, wherein the control unit controls, when a changeover is conducted from a first modulation scheme to a second modulation scheme under the modulation scheme changeover control, to keep the transmission level of another radio communication apparatus at a predetermined value under the automatic transmitter power control and conducts, when resetting is conducted from the second modulation scheme to the first modulation scheme under the modulation scheme changeover control, at least one of transmission level reduction control to stepwise lower by a predetermined value the transmission level kept at the predetermined va
