  • Publication number: 20230238989
    Abstract: The present invention allows a gain control to be appropriately effected even when a frame including no preamble signal block is used for wireless communications. The following processes are effected in a transmission power control unit 106 of a transmission unit. Specifically, an automatic transmission gain control unit 201 multiplies a transmission signal by a gain value that is the difference between the power of a signal loop-backed from a power amplifier 109 and the power of the transmission signal. A fixed transmission gain multiplying unit 202 multiplies the transmission signal by a predetermined gain value or by the gain value used in the automatic transmission gain control unit 201 during the preceding frame.

  • Patent number: 11522641
    Abstract: [Problem] To propose a technology capable of appropriately demodulating, in a receiving device, a plurality of pieces of data multiplexed through the quasi-synchronous LDM method. [Solution] A transmission device generates a UL modulated signal by using an IFFT process of NUL points, generates an LL modulated signal by using an IFFT process of NLL points different from the NUL points, and transmits signals obtained by timing-adjusting the modulated signals such that the start timings thereof coincide with each other in a predetermined cycle, and combining the timing-adjusted signals at a predetermined power ratio. In addition, the receiving device performs an NUL point FFT process on the reception signal from the transmitting device, reproduces UL and generates UL reception replica, on the basis of the result, and performs an NLL point FFT process on a signal obtained by subtracting the UL reception replica from the reception signal, and reproduces LL on the basis of the result.

  • Publication number: 20210314798
    Abstract: There is provided a wireless communication system in which it is possible to transmit data with low delay by suppressing an increase in buffer capacity, while preventing the depletion of data within each buffer. A base station uses a relationship in which the sum of an amount of data stored in a buffer of a mobile station and an amount of data stored in a buffer of a base station is constant to determine a video coding rate and a wireless transmission rate on the basis of quality of a wireless propagation path measured by a propagation path quality measurement unit and the data amount stored in the buffer of the base station, transmits the determined rates to the mobile station, and causes the determined rates to be reflected in the settings of a video encoding unit and a wireless encoding unit.

  • Publication number: 20210314891
    Abstract: In a base station, a signal synchronization unit detects a received timing of a signal from a mobile station. A correlation position protection unit corrects the received timing on the basis of time from a transmitting timing at which a signal transmitting operation to the mobile station is started to the received timing. A transmitting timing generation unit generates, on the basis of the received timing after the correction, a transmitting timing at which a subsequent signal transmitting operation to the mobile station is started. Further, an FB frame generation unit generates frame period information that indicates a correction value by the correlation position protection unit, and a transmitting processing unit transmits, to the mobile station, a signal including the frame cycle information in response to the generation of the transmitting timing.
