  • Publication number: 20140126465
    Abstract: A wireless communication system, method, program, and/or circuitry which includes at least a base station device and a terminal device. The base station device is configured to transmit information indicating a slot for transmitting data by the transmission device. The terminal device is configured to decode the received information using a first communication scheme and transmit data to be allocated to the slot using a second communication scheme to an another terminal device, where the first communication scheme is a different scheme than the second communication scheme.

  • Patent number: 8681688
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus according to the present invention includes: an encoding section; a modulation section; a variable-SF spreading section that performs spreading with variable SF according to control information A from a control section; an IDFT section that performs IDFT on output from the spreading section; a GI inserting section; a parallel/serial conversion section that converts output from the GI inserting section into a serial data sequence; a digital/analog conversion section; and an RF section that transmits a signal from an antenna after converting the signal to a frequency band for analog signal transmission and controlling it to an appropriate transmission power. The control section is configured to generate control information A for determining the variable SF and input the information A to the variable-SF spreading section and the RF section. In control information A, SF is varied depending on transmission power required.

  • Publication number: 20100220797
    Abstract: When in-phase data with an amplitude of 1 is located in each subcarrier, the envelope waveform of a time domain signal contains guard band 304 in an IDFT processing band. Thus, the waveform is such that a side lobe 306 is widely extended around the position of a point in time 0, as shown in FIG. 3(c). To allow the side lobe 306 to be suppressed, the amplitude of each band end of a transmission spectrum is smoothly reduced. Then, in a communication apparatus, the extension of the waveform on a time domain can be reduced by optimizing the spectrum of auxiliary pilot subcarriers.
