  • Patent number: 7486928
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for wireless data communications that allows, in P-MP wireless data communications, equally giving communications opportunities to mobile stations that directly communicate with a wireless base station and mobile stations that indirectly communicate therewith via a relay station and a communications method thereof. In comparison with the OFDM frame configuration prescribed in IEEE802.16, an OFDM frame configuration is characterized in that, in an uplink subframe, a ranging period and BW (bandwidth) request periods for a relay station are provided, and furthermore, a remaining message number notice period for which each relay station notifies the wireless base station of the number of remaining messages is provided. These periods are not of a contention base but bandwidths dedicated to the relay station.

  • Publication number: 20080235519
    Abstract: An object is to achieve improvement in efficiency in a case where encoding processing of data and encryption processing are executed in parallel with each other. A program of a first accelerator core out of multiple accelerator cores is reconfigured for encryption processing in order to perform encryption processing on encoded data. At this time, control is extended so that the time required for encoding processing of data for one frame and the total time of the program rewrite time for the first accelerator core and the time which the first accelerator core requires for implementing encryption processing of accumulated encoded data will be nearly equal to each other. The control is performed by a first general-purpose processor out of multiple general-purpose processors.

  • Publication number: 20080202482
    Abstract: When the opening angle of an intake control valve is limited to a given opening angle by fuel cut, an EGR apparatus is activated, and a malfunction of the EGR apparatus is diagnosed on the basis of a change in intake manifold pressure before and after the activation of the EGR apparatus. When the control for reducing the intake-manifold negative pressure is not implemented, the change of the intake manifold pressure is corrected with a changing amount of first reference intake pressure (P(Ne)) changed by engine speed Ne. When the control for reducing the intake manifold genitive pressure is implemented, the change of the intake manifold pressure is corrected with a changing amount of second reference intake pressure (PL(Ne)) changed by engine speed Ne.

  • Publication number: 20070178880
    Abstract: In a method and a RS (Relay Station) for aggregating service connection identifiers in IEEE 802.16, the RS receives 1st QoS from 1st MS (Mobile subscriber Station), and stores 1st SFID/CID between BS (Base Station)-RS corresponding to 2nd SFID/CID between the RS-MS in table information. The RS receives DSA-REQ including a QoS same as 1st QoS from 2nd MS, and sends DSC-REQ to the BS. Then, the RS receives DSC-RSP from the BS, assigns 3rd SFID/CID between the RS-MS, and stores 3rd SFID/CID corresponding to 1st SFID/CID in the table information. The RS sends DSA-RSP including 3rd SFID/CID to 2nd MS.

  • Patent number: 7249453
    Abstract: Prior to failure determination of a three-way catalyst, which is carried out on the basis of a reverse frequency ratio of upstream and downstream O2 sensors, deterioration determination is performed at the point when the reverse frequency ratio of the O2 sensors starts to increase, and low NOx control is then implemented. The implement of the low NOx control makes it possible to compensate for the deterioration of the three-way catalyst with respect to NOx purification and to keep NOx emissions from the three-way catalyst equal to or less than the regulation value.
