  • Patent number: 11121723
    Abstract: A low-density parity check convolution code (LDPC-CC) is made, and a signal sequence is sent after being subjected to an error-correcting encodement using the low-density parity check convolution code. In this case, a low-density parity check code of a time-variant period (3g) is created by linear operations of first to 3g-th (letter g designates a positive integer) parity check polynomials and input data.

  • Patent number: 10855312
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus includes an encoder that codes a data sequence with a parity check matrix, wherein the data sequence includes a final information bit sequence and virtual information bits, and outputs the final information bit sequence and a parity sequence, as LDPC codes, and a transmitter that transmits the LDPC codes as a transmission data. A column length of the parity check matrix is longer than a total length of the final information bit sequence and the parity sequence, by a length of the virtual information bits that are set to “0” and are not transmitted. The total length of the final information bit sequence and the parity sequence has a sequence length corresponding to a length from a first column to a determined column of the parity check matrix. The encoder generates the LDPC codes by using the first column to the determined column among one or more column(s) of the parity check matrix.

  • Publication number: 20180254808
    Abstract: A terminal device includes a communicator that, after first data communication carried out with the use of a narrowly directional first beam, receives, by using a widely directional beam, a plurality of first signals that a base station device has transmitted by using respective narrowly directional beams, and a determination circuitry that calculates the reception quality of the plurality of first signals and determines a narrowly directional second beam that the base station device uses for communication. The communicator transmits a feedback signal including information indicating the second beam to the base station device by using the first beam and starts second data communication by using the first beam in a case in which the communicator has received, by using the first beam, a response indicating that the base station device has received the feedback signal.

  • Patent number: 9980206
    Abstract: In order to shorten the time in which an initial connection is established when switching directivity and then performing the initial connection, a frame timing control unit sets, until detection of an RACH signal, a transmission timing of a transmission frame for transmitting a search signal and a broadcast signal and also sets a reception-start timing for starting the reception of the corresponding RACH signal. A search/broadcast signal generation unit generates the broadcast signal and the search signal including reception-timing information. A beam directivity control unit sets, for a predetermined time starting from the reception-start timing, a directivity pattern such that the directivity is in the same direction as the directivity pattern for the corresponding transmission-timing information, whereby the beam directivity control unit controls a beam directivity operation unit.
