  • Patent number: 11374656
    Abstract: A wireless transmitter/receiver generates a first signal which notifies timing of a time slot allocated to each wireless station device, a conversion unit converts the first signal into an optical signal, and each of a plurality of antenna units converts the first signal from the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal wirelessly. The wireless station device transmits a second signal at the timing reported by the first signal. Each of the plurality of antenna units converts the second signal wirelessly received from each wireless station device into an optical signal, and the conversion unit converts the second signal from the optical signal into an electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 11374657
    Abstract: To n antenna elements of the base station, n wavelengths set at predetermined intervals in a range in which chromatic dispersion in an optical fiber between accommodation and base stations can be regarded as constant are assigned. The accommodation station adjusts the phases of optical signals of the wavelengths or modulated signals that modulate the optical signals such that the amounts of phase shift of their RF signals are at predetermined intervals. The accommodation station transmits beacon signals multiple times while varying a transmission phase shift interval ?1 and the terminal transmits beacon number information of a beacon signal selected based on received power multiple times. The accommodation station varies a reception phase shift interval ?2 for each piece of beacon number information to determine a reception phase shift interval ?2 which maximizes the received power and determines the transmission phase shift interval ?1 based on the beacon number information received from the terminal.

  • Publication number: 20220141788
    Abstract: An AP 3 and STAs 5 acquire time information from an external device, and synchronize time. The AP 3 sets, in a first signal, a transmission start time of the first signal, and transmits the first signal to the STA 5. The STAs 5 transmit, to the AP 3, a second signal in which a delay time is set, the delay time being calculated from a difference between the transmission start time acquired from the first signal and a reception start time of the first signal at the own station. The AP 3 acquires delay time from the second signal of each STA 5, decides a timing for permitting transmission by each of the STAs 5 by time division, on the basis of the acquired delay time, and notifies the STAs 5 thereof. The STAs 5 each effect control to start transmission of signals to the AP 3 at the timing notified from the AP 3.
