Publication number: 20220376771Abstract: It is dynamically suppressed of a downlink interference in a reverse link of a multi-feeder link of a same frequency between an aerial-staying type communication relay apparatus and plural gateway (GW) stations. A relay communication station of the communication relay apparatus estimates plural propagation path responses respectively between plural GW stations and an antenna for feeder link of the communication relay apparatus based on reception results of plural pilot signals received from each of plural GW stations. The relay communication station calculates a weight for suppressing an interference signal that causes an interference by a transmission signal transmitted from a relay communication station to the GW station and received by another GW station, based on the plural propagation path responses, with respect to each of the plural GW stations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2020Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: HAPSMobile Inc.Inventors: Takafumi Fujii, Teruya Fujii

Publication number: 20220190907Abstract: Interference in multi-feeder links of a same frequency between an aerial-floating type communication relay apparatus and plural gateway (GW) stations is suppressed. A transmission signal band of a feeder link is divided into plural divided frequency bands, and plural propagation path responses between plural GW stations and an antenna for feeder link of the communication relay apparatus are respectively estimated with respect to each of plural divided frequency bands, by setting a center frequency of the divided frequency band as an estimation frequency, based on a reception result of the pilot signals respectively received from the plural GW stations and separated from each other. A weight for suppressing an interference signal that causes an interference by a transmission signal transmitted from the GW station and received with a directional beam corresponding to another GW station is calculated for each of the divided frequency bands based on the plural propagation path responses.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2020Publication date: June 16, 2022Applicant: HAPSMobile Inc.Inventors: Takafumi Fujii, Teruya Fujii

Publication number: 20220190908Abstract: While suppressing a power consumption of an aerial-floating type communication relay apparatus, an interference in a multi-feeder link of a same frequency between the communication relay apparatus and plural gateway (GW) stations is suppressed. A relay communication station of the communication relay apparatus performs a first interference suppression process and a second interference suppression process by switching therebetween. The first interference suppression process suppresses an interference signal that causes an interference by a transmission signal transmitted from a gateway station and received with a directional beam corresponding to another gateway station, by using a propagation path response estimated with one frequency in a transmission signal band as an estimation frequency based on a reception result of a pilot signal without dividing a transmission signal band of a feeder link.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2020Publication date: June 16, 2022Applicant: HAPSMobile Inc.Inventors: Takafumi Fujii, Teruya Fujii
