Abstract: In a method for adaptive transmission timing control, the overlooking of a base path at the side of the base station that occurs when the transmission timing offset amount changes to the extent of falling outside the current delay-profile calculation range, and the side of the mobile station fails to demodulate the control information that contains the transmission timing offset amount, is prevented. A limit is put on the transmission timing offset amount applied in a single transmission timing control iteration. Together with setting the transmission timing offset value such that the main component of the delay profile calculated from the pilot signal transmitted with offset transmission timing falls within the time range of when the current delay profile was calculated, the time range for calculating the next delay profile is shifted such that a delay profile calculated from the pilot signal transmitted with offset transmission timing falls within the shifted range, starting at the earliest component.

Abstract: A receiver of a multicarrier communication system capable of reducing inter-subcarrier interfering signals is to be provided. Receive signals received by a receiving antenna are amplified by a receiving amplifier, subjected to quadrature demodulation by multipliers with respect to the respective subcarriers, and band-limited by lowpass filters. The signals band-limited by the lowpass filters are converted into digital signals by A/D converters at a sampling frequency fs. With respect to the receive signals converted into digital signals, interfering signals leaking between subcarriers are estimated by using A/D converted by the A/D converters and are canceled. The receive signals reduced in interfering signals are multiplexed into a single sequence by a multiplexer, and decoded by a decoder into output signals.

Abstract: A FFT circuit performs M×R×Q-point fast Fourier transform of received signals, wherein M is an over-sampling rate of the received signals, Q is a chip repetition unit and R is a chip repetition rate. A weighting multiplier multiplies a frequency component having frequency component number equal to an integral multiple of R among M×R×Q frequency components output from the fast Fourier transform circuit by a weighting coefficient for propagation channel equalization, and multiplies the frequency components other than the integral multiple of R. An inverse fast Fourier transform circuit receives outputs of weighting multiplier and performs inverse fast Fourier transform of the frequency component having a frequency number equal to the integral multiple of R.

Abstract: During soft handover, base station selector 22 selects the base station that is transmitting the downlink signal with the best downlink reception quality, and notifies the base stations of the ID of this base station, so as to cause only the selected base station to transmit user data. Downlink signal weight decision circuit 23 estimates base stations that have a likelihood of transmitting user data. Downlink TPC command decision circuit 25 uses the downlink signal from the base stations that have a likelihood of transmitting user data, to decide whether the transmission power of the base stations is excessive or insufficient, and to instruct the base stations to increase or decrease their transmission power. Data demodulator 27 uses the downlink signals from base stations that have a likelihood of transmitting user data to demodulate the user data.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus forms a three-dimensional echo data acquisition space. A beam address array is composed of a plurality of ultrasonic beam addresses constituting a three-dimensional echo data acquisition space. The beam address array is divided into a plurality of address groups, and address scanning is repeated twice for each of the address groups. Thus, when a differential operation or the like of two data items obtained at the same beam position is performed, the time interval between acquisition of the two data pieces becomes short. The existence or behavior of an ultrasonic contrast agent within tissue of a living body is displayed as a three-dimensional differential image.
