  • Publication number: 20220070683
    Abstract: An installation candidate presentation device extracts, for each of one or more installation candidates that are candidates for an installation place of a first wireless device, by using planar map data indicating a planar map of a region including the installation candidates, and a target building at which second wireless devices are to be installed, respectively, an outline range of the building, which is visible from the installation candidate. The installation candidate presentation device calculates, for each installation candidate, by using three-dimensional map data indicating a three-dimensional map obtained by measuring the same region as the planar map data, area of part of a wall surface corresponding to the extracted outline range, the part being visible from the installation candidate, and calculates a total of the area calculated for the building in the region. The installation candidate presentation device presents an installation candidate selected based on the calculated total.

  • Publication number: 20220060906
    Abstract: Point cloud data between a base station device and a terminal station device is acquired as a point cloud data group. A radius of a first Fresnel zone defined by the base station device and the terminal station device at each position where the point cloud data group is acquired is calculated. A region specified by the radius at each position where the point cloud data group is acquired is scanned to detect the point cloud data, and a non-line-of-sight region is extracted. A ratio of a total area of all the extracted non-line-of-sight regions to an area of a region constructed by the first Fresnel zone is calculated. A received power is estimated based on the calculated ratio between the areas. Whether or not there is a line of sight between the base station device and the terminal station device is determined based on the received power.

  • Publication number: 20220035043
    Abstract: A projection unit (12) of an interference power estimation device (1) projects an orbit of a satellite onto a map representing a ground surface. A range acquisition unit (13) determines a plurality of ranges on the map so that the projected orbit is included in the ranges. An altitude calculation unit (14) calculates an altitude of the orbit of the satellite in each of the ranges. A range interference calculation unit (16) calculates, for each of the ranges, an interference power between the satellite at a position determined by a latitude and a longitude of the range and the altitude calculated for the range and a radio station installed on the ground surface. An estimation result calculation unit (17) selects, as an estimation result, a maximum value among the interference powers calculated for each of the ranges.

  • Publication number: 20210281453
    Abstract: A first wireless communication apparatus assigns a pilot signal without an effective signal component at least in an adjacent frequency component to a generated transmit signal, and transmits the transmit signal including the pilot signal. A second wireless communication apparatus converts the received signal or a frequency-converted signal obtained by frequency conversion of the signal into a signal in a frequency domain, sets an approximate value of the distance between the second wireless communication apparatus and the first wireless communication apparatus, calculates a coefficient ?k, based on the approximate value of the distance, the effective bandwidth, the speed of light, the number of FFT points, and the frequency component number, extracts a signal in the frequency domain, generates a phase noise compensated sampling signal, and reproduces data transmitted by the first wireless communication apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20210021377
    Abstract: A receiving station (3) performs first signal detection processing on a received radio signal, performs a retransmission request to a transmitting station (2) in a case in which a code error is detected in a detected radio packet for user data, and enqueues the radio packet for user data in a reception buffer in a case in which no code error is detected. In parallel with the first signal detection processing, the receiving station (3) performs second signal detection processing on the received signal with a longer processing delay than that of the first signal detection processing, and in a case in which no code error is detected in the detected radio packet for user data, the receiving station (3) enqueues the radio packet for user data in the reception buffer. The receiving station (3) outputs, at a predetermined timing, the radio packet for user data with no code error detected, the radio packet being enqueued in the reception buffer.
