Abstract: A base station transmits downlink signals to mobile terminals of users A to C with respective transmission power corresponding to downlink quality. A downlink quality estimating section (106) uses the transmission power from a transmission power control section to compare transmission power between the users, and estimates that a terminal with low transmission power has high downlink quality. The priorities are determined so that the priority is increased as the transmission power is lower. Thus determined priority information is output to a scheduling section (107). The scheduling section (107) performs scheduling based on the priority information. The section (107) assigns DSCH to terminals in ascending order of transmission power. User A is first assigned DSCH, user B is second assigned DSCH, and user C is third assigned DSCH. It is thus possible to perform scheduling and MCS selection of DSCH with the need of information from a terminal eliminated.

Abstract: A terminal for a resolver that operates in a high temperature environment is presented. The terminal includes a terminal block having a through groove. The through groove provides a resistive welder with access to flat terminals mounted on the terminal block. Resistive welding the stator coil wire of the resolver to the flat terminals is less complicated than soldering the stator coil wire to the flat terminals and provides a connection more able to withstand high temperatures.

Abstract: A communication apparatus is provided which employs two oscillators to generate a transmission signal and a reception signal, and prevents harmful spurious components from being produced. As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the oscillation frequency fVCO2 of a VCO 2 is given by fVCO2=N×(2×fDD), where fDD is the difference between the transmit frequency fT and receive frequency fR. A 3/(2×N) frequency multiplier outputs a signal with a frequency 3×fDD, and a divide-by-N circuit (2/(2×N) frequency multiplier) outputs a signal with a frequency 2×fDD. Thus the transmit intermediate frequency fTIF is given by fTIF=3×fDD, and the receive intermediate frequency fRIF is given by fRIF=2×fDD. The oscillation frequency fVCO1 of a VCO 1 is fCH. The transmit frequency fT is given by fT=fCH+fTIF=fCH+3×fDD. The circuit can prevent a transmission spurious problem to its own reception band.

Abstract: An fD detector 104 detects a maximum Doppler frequency from a received signal and outputs to a schedule creating section 105. The schedule creating section 105 determines, for each user, a time (or order) at which to transmit packet data thereto from the maximum Doppler frequencies detected by the fD detector 104, and outputs to a switch circuit 107 and a multiplexing section 108 schedule information indicating these times at which to transmit the packets of data. The switch circuit 107 sequentially outputs the packets of data to be transmitted to the respective users to an encoding section 109 according to the schedule created by the schedule creating section 105. The multiplexing section 108 multiplexes the schedule for transmitting the packets of data, output from the schedule creating section 105 and control data necessary for transmitting packet data on a common channel, and outputs to the encoding section 109.

Abstract: A base station transmits downlink signals to mobile terminals of users A to C with respective transmission power corresponding to downlink quality. A downlink quality estimating section (106) uses the transmission power from a transmission power control section to compare transmission power between the users, and estimates that a terminal with low transmission power has high downlink quality. The priorities are determined so that the priority is increased as the transmission power is lower. Thus determined priority information is output to a scheduling section (107). The scheduling section (107) performs scheduling based on the priority information. The section (107) assigns DSCH to terminals in ascending order of transmission power. User A is first assigned DSCH, user B is second assigned DSCH, and user C is third assigned DSCH. It is thus possible to perform scheduling and MCS selection of DSCH with the need of information from a terminal eliminated.
