Patent number: 10505668Abstract: Provided is a radio communication device which can suppress inter-code interference between an ACK/NACK signal and a CQI signal which are code-multiplexed. A diffusion unit (214) diffuses the ACK/NACK signal inputted from a judgment unit (208) by using a ZC sequence. A diffusion unit (219) diffuses the CQI signal by using a cyclic shift ZC sequence. By using a Walsh sequence, a diffusion unit (216) further diffuses the ACK/NACK signal which has been diffused by using the ZC sequence. A control unit (209) controls the diffusion unit (214), the diffusion unit (216), and the diffusion unit (219) so that the minimum value of the difference between the CQI signals from a plurality of mobile stations and a cyclic shift amount of the ACK/NACK signal is not smaller than the minimum value of the difference between the cyclic shift amounts of the ACK/NACK signals from the plurality of mobile stations.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Optis Wireless Technology, LLCInventors: Sadaki Futagi, Seigo Nakao, Daichi Imamura

Patent number: 10484952Abstract: Provided is a communication device, which is enabled to improve the throughput of a communication system by reducing the difference of a transmission power between an SCCH and an SDCH thereby to satisfy the required quality of a PAPR. In this device, an MCS selection unit (111) of a transmission unit (110) decides, with reference to a CQI lookup table, an MCS pattern (MCS1) of the SDCH, an MCS pattern (MCS2) of the SCCH and information (multiplex information) on multiplex positions on the time axes of those two channels, on the basis of the CQI information. On the basis of the MCS2 and the MCS1, encoding modulation units (112 and 113) perform encoding and modulating operations. According to the multiplex information, a channel multiplexing unit (114) time-division multiplexes the SCCH and the SDCH thereby to generate a transmission signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Optis Wireless Technology, LLCInventors: Sadaki Futagi, Daichi Imamura, Atsushi Matsumoto, Takashi Iwai

Publication number: 20190281637Abstract: A sequence allocating method and apparatus wherein in a system where a plurality of different Zadoff-Chu sequences or GCL sequences are allocated to a single cell, the arithmetic amount and circuit scale of a correlating circuit at a receiving end can be reduced. In ST201, a counter (a) and a number (p) of current sequence allocations are initialized, and in ST202, it is determined whether the number (p) of current sequence allocations is coincident with a number (K) of allocations to one cell. In ST203, it is determined whether the number (K) of allocations to the one cell is odd or even. If K is even, in ST204-ST206, sequence numbers (r=a and r=N?a), which are not currently allocated, are combined and then allocated. If K is odd, in ST207-ST212, for sequences that cannot be paired, one of sequence numbers (r=a and r=N?a), which are not currently allocated, is allocated.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Daichi Imamura, Takashi Iwai, Kazunori Inogai, Sadaki Futagi, Atsushi Matsumoto

Publication number: 20190230700Abstract: A radio communication base station device can efficiently obtain a multiuser diversity gain from frequency scheduling while reducing the amount of a reference signal occupying an uplink. In the device, a grouping section divides a plurality of RBs (Resource Blocks) into a plurality of RB groups. An RB group control unit performs a control to change the correspondence relationship between the RBs and the RB groups with time. When the grouping section divides the RBs into the RB groups, the RB control unit performs a control to change a combination of the RBs included in each of the RB groups with time. A scheduling section performs a scheduling of allocating each of a plurality of mobile stations to each of the RBs in each of the RB groups according to the reception quality of the reference signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2019Publication date: July 25, 2019Inventors: Yoshihiko OGAWA, Daichi IMAMURA, Ayako HORIUCHI, Sadaki FUTAGI

Publication number: 20190199494Abstract: Disclosed are a wireless transmitter and a reference signal transmission method that improve channel estimation accuracy. In a terminal, which transmits a reference signal using n (n is a non-negative integer 2 or greater) band blocks (which correspond to clusters here), which are disposed with spaces therebetween in a frequency direction, a reference signal controller switches the reference signal formation method of a reference signal generator between a first formation method and a second formation method based on the number (n) of band blocks. In addition, a threshold value setting unit adjusts a switching threshold value based on the frequency spacing between band blocks. Thus, the reference signal formation method can be selected with good accuracy and, as a result, channel estimation accuracy is further improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2019Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventors: Takashi IWAI, Sadaki FUTAGI, Tomohumi TAKATA, Daichi IMAMURA, Yoshihiko OGAWA

Publication number: 20180343668Abstract: A wireless communication base station device, terminal device, and method have reduced signaling while maintaining high scheduling gain. A judgment unit pre-stores a correspondence between the number of code words and the number of clusters to reduce the maximum value for the number of clusters allocated to each terminal as the number of code words increases, and thus determines the maximum value for the number of clusters based on the number of code words acquired. Based on the number of code words for a transmission signal from a terminal, an estimated value for the reception quality, and the maximum value for the number of clusters that is output by the judgment unit, a scheduling unit schedules the allocation of the transmission signal transmitted by each terminal to a transmission band frequency (frequency resource) so as not to exceed the maximum value for the number of clusters.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2018Publication date: November 29, 2018Inventors: Yoshihiko OGAWA, Akihiko NISHIO, Daichi IMAMURA, Seigo NAKAO, Masayuki HOSHINO, Takashi IWAI, Sadaki FUTAGI
