  • Patent number: 11374657
    Abstract: To n antenna elements of the base station, n wavelengths set at predetermined intervals in a range in which chromatic dispersion in an optical fiber between accommodation and base stations can be regarded as constant are assigned. The accommodation station adjusts the phases of optical signals of the wavelengths or modulated signals that modulate the optical signals such that the amounts of phase shift of their RF signals are at predetermined intervals. The accommodation station transmits beacon signals multiple times while varying a transmission phase shift interval ?1 and the terminal transmits beacon number information of a beacon signal selected based on received power multiple times. The accommodation station varies a reception phase shift interval ?2 for each piece of beacon number information to determine a reception phase shift interval ?2 which maximizes the received power and determines the transmission phase shift interval ?1 based on the beacon number information received from the terminal.

  • Publication number: 20220141788
    Abstract: An AP 3 and STAs 5 acquire time information from an external device, and synchronize time. The AP 3 sets, in a first signal, a transmission start time of the first signal, and transmits the first signal to the STA 5. The STAs 5 transmit, to the AP 3, a second signal in which a delay time is set, the delay time being calculated from a difference between the transmission start time acquired from the first signal and a reception start time of the first signal at the own station. The AP 3 acquires delay time from the second signal of each STA 5, decides a timing for permitting transmission by each of the STAs 5 by time division, on the basis of the acquired delay time, and notifies the STAs 5 thereof. The STAs 5 each effect control to start transmission of signals to the AP 3 at the timing notified from the AP 3.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, the image processing device includes imagers disposed on an outer circumference of a mobile object for imaging surroundings of the mobile object to generate multiple images including mutually overlapping regions, and a processor that corrects the images on the basis of one color-value mean value and another color-value mean value to generate a peripheral image by combining the corrected images. The one color-value mean value is an average of color values of a target region set in an overlapping region of one of the images. Another color-value mean value is an average of color values of a target region set in an overlapping region of another one of the images.

  • 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.
