  • Publication number: 20140119415
    Abstract: A wireless device includes a wireless unit, a baseband processing unit, an event-initiation detecting unit, and an amplitude-level control unit. The wireless unit performs signal processing on a radio signal. The baseband processing unit is connected to the wireless unit through a digital communication channel and transmits/receives a digital signal with the wireless unit through the digital communication channel. The event-initiation detecting unit detects whether an event causing a fluctuation in power supply voltage supplied to the wireless unit or the baseband processing unit is initiated. The amplitude-level control unit increases, when the event-initiation detecting unit has detected that the event is initiated, amplitude of a digital signal transmitted/received through the digital communication channel before the event is initiated.

  • Patent number: 8073077
    Abstract: In a communication apparatus which transmits parameters corresponding to a reception environment to a transmitting apparatus which switches the transmission rate based on the reception environment, reception quality calculated in the past is saved as a first reception quality, and past CPICH symbols used in calculating this first reception quality are saved. Channel compensation of the saved past CPICH symbols is performed using a current channel estimation value, and the channel-compensated CPICH symbols are used to calculate a second reception quality; the difference between this second reception quality and the first reception quality is used as a reception quality correction value to correct reception quality.
