Abstract: A packet-relay unit 100 including a first interface unit (110), a second interface unit (120), and a function-setting switch (130). The second interface unit (120) includes a classifying unit (121), a priority control unit (122), and a transceiving unit (123). When the function-setting switch (130) sets a “QoS function” as “operative”, the classifying unit (121) transfers packets transferred from the first interface unit (110) to the priority control unit (122). The priority control unit (122) provides priority control over the transferred packets such that the transferred packets are preferentially treated at a wireless zone connected to the second interface unit (120), whereby the priority-controlled packets are transferred to a transceiving unit (123) from the priority control unit (122). When the function-setting switch (130) sets “the QoS function” as “inoperative”, the classifying unit (121) transfers the transferred packets directly to the transceiving unit (123).

Abstract: An antenna diversity communications device switches communications paths between a plurality of antennas to improve reception in a frequency diversity communications system. Antenna selection is done in response to measurement of the receiving condition of the selected antenna. A memory unit stores frequency difference information between the current channel and the next channel. When the frequency difference between the current channel and the next channel is small enough to predict good correlation between the channels, and if current receiving conditions are good, the current channel remains connected. When the frequency difference between the current channel and the next channel is large enough to predict poor correlation, or if the receiving conditions on the current channel are bad, one of the other channels is selected.

Control based on a total queue length is performed to deterioration of image quality or tone quality in the audio/visual communications according to a connection-oriented protocol like TCP.

Abstract: Reception level frequency distribution is determined. A frequency correlation bandwidth is determined in accordance with intervals between peaks or dips, or alternatively intervals between intersections wherein the reception level frequency distribution intersects a threshold. At the time of reception start, a training mode period is set up to determine a frequency correlation bandwidth. After the training mode period, signals are received in accordance with the determined frequency correlation bandwidth. The frequency correlation bandwidth is determined with increased precision to avoid a large amount of calculation such as Fourier transform. As a result, the entire diversity reception processing requires a reduced amount of calculation.
