Abstract: A channel estimation circuit (12) of an individual CH path demodulation unit (1A-1L) performs a channel estimation from an individual CH. A channel estimation value correction circuit (22) of a shared CH path demodulation unit (2A-2L) then corrects a reception power fluctuation due to uplink transmission power control which is caused by the timing offset between the individual CH and the shared CH. The resultant data is used for the demodulation by a shared CH demodulation circuit (23).

Abstract: A switching circuit (112) is controlled by an in-slot interface-noise-power-control output circuit (115) to output an in-slot interface noise power (107-n) to a past-slot interference-noise-power memory (110), if there is no estimated value for an interference noise power of finger n of one slot before. If the interference noise power of the one slot before is not estimated and yet there exists an interference noise power which has been once estimated, the past-slot interference-noise-power memory (110) stores therein an interference noise power in a last slot which has been valid. An inter-slot averaging processing is performed between the interference noise power (111-n) from the past-slot interference-noise-power memory (110) and an estimated value (107-n) for the interference noise power in the current slot.

Abstract: The N peaks are selected from a delay profile in order starting from the highest peak involved in the delay profile, the path level and path timing are determined for each of the selected peaks, and the identical paths individually responsible for different delay profiles are detected by comparing the path timings calculated for the preceding time and the path timings calculated for the present time. Based of the path levels calculated for the preceding time and the path levels calculated for the present time, averaged path levels are computed on a path-by-path basis for the present time, a predetermined threshold is applied to the computed average path levels, and the paths to be allocated to the fingers are selected. Of the path timings that have been obtained for respective selected paths, the latest path timings are allocated to the fingers as synchronization timings.

Abstract: According to a transmitter-receiver of a mobile communication system of the present invention, it is possible to preferably perform the communication with a desired user without deteriorating the quality of service of an interference user even when the desired user and the interference user are present in the same direction. Therefore, by selecting a path level on a two-dimensional profile larger than a predetermined threshold or a path having the ratio of signal power to interference power or signal power larger than the predetermined threshold, a plurality of paths respectively having preferable reception quality are selected. Then, interference powers included in received signals of the paths are calculated, a path having minimum interference power is selected, and the DOA of the path is used as a downlink-signal transmitting direction.

Abstract: In a CDMA receiving apparatus according to the present invention, a delay spread calculation unit calculates a delay spread based on timings and levels of paths equal to or higher than a path level threshold, and a same-path detection time range calculation unit calculates a same-path detection time range in accordance with the delay spread. A finger-assigned path selector unit selects finger-assigned paths from paths equal to or higher than the path level threshold starting in order from the one having the highest path, and excludes paths within the same-path detection time range centered at each selected path, from candidates for finger-assigned paths, from the next selection onward. Then, a demodulation processing unit demodulates a received signal using the path timings of the finger-assigned paths as synchronization timings.

Abstract: A method for accessing an access point (AP) in a wireless LAN and a station are provided, in which the station determines current country and more effectively and quickly performs access to an AP when accessing the AP in a worldwide roaming environment. The method manages a plurality of profiles by grouping them for each country, and attempts to access systematically and automatically access points, which are set in the multiple profiles included in the profile groups of each country based on the country information in a beacon received from an AP. The country information and the profile information may be stored in a memory, and the access to the AP is performed based on the stored information, when next accessing an access point.

Abstract: A station divides all CHs available for assignment to an AP into a plurality of groups. CHs being included in one group are checked to determine whether or not there exists an AP that uses each of the CHs included in one group, based on an instruction of background scan from an OS and the like. Further, for CHs being included in the next group, the station checks whether or not there exists an AP that uses each of the CHs included in the next group based on the next instruction of background scan from an OS. As a result, the time required for one background scan can be reduced so as to have less impact on the communication the station is performing.
