  • Publication number: 20240072876
    Abstract: An adjoint matrix adjH(z, t) of a transfer function matrix H(z, t) established between a transmission station and a reception station is defined as a transmission weight WT(z). A training signal multiplied by the transmission weight WT(z) is transmitted from transmission antennas toward a reception station. M sequence portions S included in the received training signals #1 and #2 are connected in series to generate a virtual training signal block. A communication path response R(m) implemented by using the transmission weight WT(z) is calculated by calculating a correlation between both an M sequence portion S and a comparison sequence portion at each position while sliding the comparison sequence portion with respect to the virtual training signal block. Based on the communication path response R(m), a reception equalization weight WR(z) corresponding to an inverse response det{H(z, t)}?1 of a determinant det{H(z, t)} of the transfer function matrix H(z, t) is calculated.

  • Publication number: 20230318632
    Abstract: Provided is a software wireless device capable of continuing communication without being affected by quality deterioration of a wireless line and without discarding of traffic data. The data to be transmitted is duplicated and wirelessly transmitted over a plurality of communication lines having different frequency bands (step 104). The received data received by the communication line having the best line quality is validated. Another frequency band that is different from the frequency band used in the plurality of communication lines and can provide line quality exceeding a determination criteria is searched (step 106). When the quality of the communication line communicating the same data deteriorates (step 108), the communication on that line is switched to the wireless communication on the additional communication line using the other frequency band (step 110).
