Patent number: 7969860Abstract: A serial-parallel converter 102 of a transmitter apparatus receives an input of a signal to be transmitted and serial-parallel-converts this to output m (m?2) number of intermediate signals. A unitary matrix modulator 103 modulates the output m number of intermediate signals into a unitary matrix of m rows and m columns whose components other than diagonal components are 0 and outputs the obtained matrix. A splitter 111 supplies the respective diagonal components of the output matrix to the input channels of an inverse Fourier transform unit 112 as input signals. The inverse Fourier transform unit 112 outputs m number of inverse-Fourier-transformed signals obtained by performing inverse Fourier transform of the supplied input signals. A parallel-serial converter 113 parallel-serial-converts the output m number of inverse-Fourier-transformed signals to output one transmission signal. A transmission unit 114 transmits the output transmission signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: National Institute of Information and Communications TechnologyInventors: Chang-Jun Ahn, Masayuki Fujise

Patent number: 7313180Abstract: A receiving unit of a receiving device receives a signal arriving thereto through a transmission path as a reception signal. A delay unit outputs a delay signal obtained by delaying the reception signal by a predetermined delay time. An estimation unit estimates a transmission path characteristic. An equalizer/demodulator compensates for the delay signal with the transmission path characteristic, demodulates the compensation result, and outputs the demodulation result as a transmission signal. A replica unit compensates for the reception signal with the transmission path characteristic, demodulates the compensation result, modulates the demodulation result, and outputs the modulation result as a replica signal. The estimation unit estimates a transmission path characteristic by comparing the reception signal with the replica signal. The predetermined delay time is equal to or smaller than a time required for the processes by the replica unit and the estimation unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2004Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: National Institute of Information and Communications Technology Incorporated Administrative AgencyInventors: Hiroshi Harada, Masayuki Fujise, Ryuuhei Funada, Manabu Sawada

Patent number: 7136426Abstract: A vehicle-vehicle communication system includes an in-vehicle wire LAN established in a vehicle. The in-vehicle wire LAN includes a plurality of devices connected by optical fiber links. A terminal for radio vehicle-vehicle communication is connected to the in-vehicle wire LAN by the optical fiber link. The terminal receives an optical digital signal in a predetermined format from the in-vehicle wire LAN. The terminal includes a light controlled oscillator and applies the received optical signal to the light controlled oscillator. The light controlled oscillator outputs a transmission signal of a frequency shifted from a predetermined frequency according to the intensity of the applied optical signal. Thus the terminal generates the transmission signal using FSK-modulation technique without converting the format of the optical signal into another format. The transmission signal is transmitted to a device in another vehicle via radio waves.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2001Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignees: Denso Corporation, National Institute of Information and Communications TechnologyInventors: Minoru Okada, Yutaka Aoki, Manabu Sawada, Masahiro Kuwabara, Hiroshi Harada, Masayuki Fujise

Patent number: 7069144Abstract: The present invention is directed to improve convenience to the user. A path extending from the present location S of a mobile terminal to a destination D via a base station is calculated (S2), distances between base stations on the calculated path and the present location are calculated, and the closest base station is determined as a contents delivery base station (S7). Grace time for the mobile terminal to pass through the contents delivery base station is calculated. Then, scheduled time to deliver the contents to the mobile terminal is calculated (S8). While monitoring a travel state of the mobile terminal (S10 to S12), the contents are delivered to the mobile terminal near the contents delivery base station (S14).Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2003Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignees: KDDI Corporation, Communications Research Laboratory Independent Administrative InstitutionInventors: Kiyohito Yoshihara, Shinji Motegi, Hiroki Horiuchi, Masayuki Fujise, Fumihide Kojima, Katsuyoshi Sato

Patent number: 7006430Abstract: A receiving section outputs a received signal. An estimation section estimates transmission path characteristics, using the received signal and a modulated data signal. A compensation section outputs a compensated data signal, using the received signal and the transmission path characteristics. A demodulation section demodulates a modulated data signal, using the compensated data signal. A modulation section modulates a modulated data signal, using the demodulated data signal.

Patent number: 6999730Abstract: A wireless communication terminal that ensures communication using a frequency band suitable for line-of-sight communication even if an obstruction is present in a wireless communication path or a status of a radio wave propagation path dynamically changes. An initial detecting section detects whether it is possible to communicate with another terminal of a master station mode. If communication is possible, a slave-mode setting section sets up a slave station mode, registers the other terminal in a master terminal storage section and transmits to the other terminal a communication indicating that a local terminal is subordinate to the master terminal. If communication is not possible, a master-mode setting section sets up a master station mode when a transmission is received indicating that the other terminal is subordinate to the local terminal. A slave terminal registration section registers the other terminal in a slave terminal storage section.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2001Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: National Institute of Information and Communications Technology Incorporated Administrative AgencyInventors: Fumihide Kojima, Hiroshi Harada, Masayuki Fujise

Patent number: 6959052Abstract: A channel evaluator acquires a change predicted value from a known symbol, and a compensator compensates for a first symbol using the change predicted value. A demodulator restores a portion corresponding to this symbol with another subcarrier. A replica generator acquires a transmission replica of the restored symbol. The channel evaluator performs complex division on the replica with the symbol to acquire an amplitude phase ratio. A detector compares the amplitude phase ratio with an amplitude phase ratio acquired immediately previously. In case where an elimination condition is satisfied, the detector disregards the amplitude phase ratio acquired currently and uses an immediately previous value instead, an averaging unit averages amplitude phase ratios to acquire a next change predicted value, and the compensator compensates for a next symbol using the change predicted value. Hereinafter, the sequence of processes is repeated.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2002Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignees: National Institute of Information and Communications Technology Incorporated Administrative Agency, Denso CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Harada, Masayuki Fujise, Ryuuhei Funada, Manabu Sawada, Kunihiko Sasaki
