Patent number: 11374657Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Kota Ito, Mizuki Suga, Yushi Shirato, Naoki Kita

Publication number: 20220141788Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2019Publication date: May 5, 2022Applicant: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Mizuki SUGA, Nobuaki OTSUKI, Kota ITO, Naoki KITA
