    Abstract: It is possible to reduce the effect of an interference signal while suppressing increases in a circuit scale and a processing time. A reception device receives a multicarrier signal and an interference signal via a radio transmission path, detects a frequency position of the interference signal, performs filtering to suppress the multicarrier signal and the interference signal at the detected frequency position of the interference signal, removes a guard interval from the multicarrier signal suppressed by the filtering, demodulates each subcarrier of the multicarrier signal from which the guard interval is removed, and performs error correction on the demodulated signal.

  • Patent number: 7697936
    Abstract: To provide a base station apparatus that can automatically update the parameters required for radio communication. A pair of identifier for identifying the self station and radio communication parameter is notified to another base station existing in the neighborhood of the self station, and the path loss value between another base station and a mobile station and the pair of identifier and radio communication parameter for another base station is acquired. The pair of identifier and radio communication parameter reported by the self station is set and updated, based on this acquired information. Since it is updated in consideration of the path loss value reported from the mobile station, the parameter can be updated at higher precision.
