Abstract: A transmitting apparatus, a receiving apparatus, and a communication system are provided that allow a reduction in a frame loss due to interference caused by use of the same channel. A transmitting apparatus disposed in a base station includes a GPS receiver for receiving a GPS signal, a timing generator for controlling respective function blocks in accordance with the GPS signal and an inter-base-station control signal so as to precisely synchronize the timing of frame transmission among base stations, the front-end transmission processing unit including for converting transmission information into transmission time slots, a frame generator for generating a frame including a plurality of time slots and one frame guard, and a back-end transmission processing unit for transmitting the generated frame as a radio signal.

Abstract: The present invention eliminates a transmission-waiting operation which is unnecessary while accommodating a prioritized traffic. Although a communication station enters a transmission-disallowed state in response to detection of a signal addressed to another station in accordance with medium access control based on CSMA, if the communication station receives a frame transmitted with priority to a local station during the transmission waiting, it cancels the transmission-disallowed state, sends back a frame responding the frame transmitted with priority and effectively operates a transmission prioritized period. The communication station starts a search procedure to perform a processing of evading duplication of the transmission prioritized periods if it judges a possibility of a problem occurring in a time zone in which reception with priority is possible.

Abstract: To be provided is an echo removing apparatus including a transmission path estimate update processing unit, and an output selection unit. A fixed section of the transmission path estimate is updated based on an error from an echo estimate determined using all of the fixed section, the holding section, and the update section. These sections are updated depending on whether an estimate obtained by adding the fixed section and the holding section is better than an estimate of the fixed section alone in every fixed period. Only when the estimate is better, the holding section is added to the fixed section cumulatively, and the update section is substituted into the holding section. Depending on whether an estimate is better, an error from the eco estimate determined using all these sections or the fixed section alone is selected as an output.
