Patent number: 8942310Abstract: Transmission channel estimation is performed for NT×NR reception signals and estimated transmission channel values are thereby output. The estimated transmission channel values are divided into N groups of NT×M estimated transmission channel values and a covariance matrix with M rows and N columns is obtained for each of the estimated transmission channel value groups. The N covariance matrixes are averaged over a predetermined range in terms of at least a time or a frequency (first averaging). Eigenvectors are generated based on respective N averaging outputs. Transmission channels between base station antennas and terminal antennas are generated from the eigenvectors and the estimated transmission channel values. Covariance matrixes are obtained for the generated transmission channels. The covariance matrixes are averaged over a different range from the range used in the first averaging (second averaging) and a beam forming weight is obtained by combining the generated eigenvectors.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2011Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Tetsuhiko Miyatani, Toshifumi Sato

Patent number: 8351547Abstract: A wireless communication device and method are capable of detecting a receive timing of a direct wave at higher precision without increasing transmit power. A signal receiver receives a signal having a center frequency changed in a predetermined rule at predetermined time intervals.

A filter removes frequency-domain signal components unused during reception, based on the predetermined rule, from the frequency-domain signal. A reverse modulator performs a reverse modulation process on the remaining signal components. A signal adder generates an added signal by performing accumulative addition on the signal components that underwent the reverse modulation process in the reverse modulator for a predetermined period. A direct wave arrival time determiner determines an arrival time of a direct wave according to an impulse response obtainable from an output of the frequency-time transformer.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Samsung Electromnics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tetsuhiko Miyatani
