  • Patent number: 8570950
    Abstract: A wireless communication system broadcasts a control signal at a first frequency band from a base station and allocates additional frequency band(s) for transmitting data by terminal(s). A control signal at the first frequency band indicates the location of the additional frequency band(s) and is not transmitted over the additional frequency band(s). Wireless data transmission is simultaneously performed over the first frequency band and the additional frequency band(s). Each terminal receives the control signal, which is used in time-synchronizing frames between the wireless data transmission at the first frequency band and the wireless data transmission at the additional frequency band(s). The control signal also includes control data for managing wireless data transmission of the terminal(s) at the first frequency band, and is utilized instead of a control signal at the additional frequency band(s).

  • Patent number: 8270390
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a central control unit 31 comprises a synchronizing means for synchronizing a frame for an base station-mobile station communication with that for an inter-mobile station direct communication based on control information used for the base station-mobile station communication, when a second frequency is used for the inter-mobile station direct communication which is different from a first frequency used for the base station-mobile station communication. The central control unit 31 also comprises an allocation means for allocating a band and a frequency for the inter-mobile station direct communication in accordance with an allocation request from a base station 30 or a mobile station 40. Frames for the base station-mobile station communication and the inter-mobile station direct communication are synchronized by utilizing control information 55 for the base station-mobile station communication instead of the conventional control information provided by the mobile station.

  • Patent number: 4724492
    Abstract: A recording disk playback apparatus capable of playback of recording disks having digitized audio data recorded thereon, (CDs), disks having digitized audio data together with audio and video data recorded by frequency modulation recorded thereon (LDDs), and disks having only video and audio data recorded by frequency modulation thereon, (LDs), is provided with means for discriminating the type of disk which is to be played and for producing signals indicating the disk type, for switching control purposes. The discrimination means will reliably distinguish between LDs and LDDs, even if these are of identical size.

  • Patent number: 4703367
    Abstract: A recording disk data playback apparatus capable of playback of recording disks having a video signal usually with an audio signal recorded thereon by frequency modulation, together with audio data modulated as a pulse train superimposed thereon, includes a phase-lock loop circuit for generating a read-out clock signal to read out from a memory the playback digital audio data, in which that data has been temporarily stored, with the loop circuit including a filter whose cut-off frequency is selected to be lower than the maximum frequency of the bandwidth of a tangential servo system which controls movement of a data sensing light spot tangential to the recording tracks. Jitter which cannot be fully corrected by the tangential servo system is thereby eliminated.

  • Patent number: 4698695
    Abstract: A recording disk playback apparatus which is compatible with playback of both compact audio disks (CDs), having only a digitized audio signal recorded thereon, and recording disks having video and audio signals recorded by frequency modulation thereon together with a superimposed digitized audio signal (LDDs), includes means whereby a read-out clock signal which reads out temporarily stored digitized audio data from a memory is held fixed in frequency when a CD is being played, with closed-loop control of the speed of a CD drive motor being also executed, to thereby eliminate jitter in the demodulated audio signal, while during playing of an LDD the read-out clock signal is phase-locked with a playback clock signal.
