Publication number: 20230142149Abstract: A communication device includes a transmission unit and a notification unit. The transmission unit transmits a second signal (for example, an URLLC signal) that requires low latency severer than a first signal (for example, an eMBB signal). When the transmission unit transmits the second signal (for example, the URLLC signal), the notification unit notifies another communication device (interfering station) that transmits the first signal (for example, the eMBB signal) of a request signal containing information requesting suppression of transmission power of the first signal (for example, the eMBB signal). As a result, it is possible to satisfy a requirement of a communication mode requiring low latency.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Sony Group CorporationInventors: Ren SUGAI, Naoki KUSASHIMA, Hiroshi HARADA, Keiichi MIZUTANI, Kyoya TERAMAE

Patent number: 10785061Abstract: A propagation channel estimation method is provided. In-phase and quadrature components of a propagation channel estimation value in each pilot subcarrier are separated into amplitude and phase components. A propagation channel of a data subcarrier portion existing between pilot subcarriers is estimated by phase/amplitude separation linear interpolating in each separated amplitude and phase component. A reference parameter is produced by linear interpolating a portion between pilot subcarriers on a complex plane. When quadrants on the complex plane of the interpolated phase component estimation value and the reference parameter are different, a phase connecting process to cancel a discontinuity of the phases is executed to the phase component estimation value interpolated by the phase/amplitude separation linear interpolation.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: KYOTO UNIVERSITYInventors: Hiroshi Harada, Keiichi Mizutani, Kiminobu Makino
