Publication number: 20150124909Abstract: A reception apparatus obtains a first channel estimated value from a reference signal of each layer and a known reference signal that are received and multiplies the first channel estimated value by an orthogonal signal sequence in each layer. Subsequently, the reception apparatus synthesizes a signal in each layer and, from the orthogonal signal sequence and the synthesized signal, calculates an adaptive array antenna weight. Next, the reception apparatus carries out antenna synthesis of the data signal and the reference signal by using the above weight for each layer and obtains a second channel estimated value from the reference signal subjected to the synthesis. Then, the reception apparatus carries out MIMO demodulation from a result of the channel estimation for each layer described above.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2012Publication date: May 7, 2015Applicant: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventor: Toru Sahara

Publication number: 20150055520Abstract: A control unit 130 assigns a first new call to a radio resource of a frequency channel with a small interference power and, when there is an available radio resource, assigns new calls after the first new call to radio resources of a frequency channel the same as, or adjacent to, the frequency channel of the radio resource of the first new call. The control unit 130, when there is no available radio resource, selects a combination of a multiplex call originator and a multiplex call receiver to which space division multiplexing may be carried out and, by calculating multiplexing priorities, selects a combination of a multiplex call originator and a multiplex call receiver having high priorities. Then, the control unit 130 generates an available radio resource by carrying out the space division multiplexing and assigns the new calls after the first new call to the generated radio resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2013Publication date: February 26, 2015Applicant: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventor: Toru Sahara
