  • Patent number: 9312932
    Abstract: This invention is applied to a communication apparatus that uses one or more code words to transmit or receive appropriate information on a PUSCH. Assuming that the i-th code word CW_i is used alone to transmit the appropriate information, the communication apparatus of the invention uses a Formula (1) to calculate the number of resources Q?_i. When one or more code words are used to transmit the appropriate information, the communication apparatus uses a Formula (2) to calculate the number of resources Q?.

  • Publication number: 20150103689
    Abstract: An interference power measuring circuit in a base station measures the interference power in a cell that the base station belongs to. When the measured interference power is larger than a predetermined value, the transmitter in the base station transmits the interference information for each frequency used in the FDMA communication system to a base station in a neighboring cell. The base station in the neighboring cell instructs user equipment that communicates the base station to reduce a transmission power.

  • Patent number: 8428099
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a control unit (17) of a base station (1) sets a frequency hopping cycle longer than a predetermined value during a certain measurement interval in which an measurement of a frequency drift is conducted, allowing reception of a plurality of reference signals of the same frequency in receiving an uplink signal from a mobile station (2). The control unit (17) controls a reference signal extraction unit (15) and a reference signal phase difference calculation unit (16) so as to measure, based on the plurality of reference signals, the phase shift amount of a received signal at the same frequency. Thus, the wireless communication system can measure the phase shift amount by controlling the frequency hopping.

  • Patent number: 8345563
    Abstract: A wireless base station sends transmission parameters that specify a control signal coding rate and a data signal coding rate which satisfy a BLER (Block Error Rate) required for a control signal and a data signal in a TTI (Transmit Time Interval) scheduled in response to a transmission request from a mobile station. In the specified TTI, the mobile station applies the coding rates, included in the transmission parameters and specified for the control signal and the data signal, to the control signal and the data signal, time-division multiplexes the coded control signal and coded data signal to generate constant transmission-power transmission data, and sends the generated transmission data to a wireless base station via PUSCH.

  • Patent number: 8275000
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a base station and a terminal station. The base station extracts paths that have a power level that exceeds a predetermined threshold value from delay profiles of the terminal station as available paths, selects a path having a maximum power or a first path from the available paths as a reference path, calculates a time difference between an arrival time of the reference path and a predetermined maximum arrival time, and transmits a result to the terminal station as a transmission timing control signal. The terminal station adjusts the transmission timing to the base station according to the time difference. The base station transmits the transmission timing control signal only when the base station detects the reference path.
