Abstract: A plurality of fingers 12 separately demodulate reception signals of a plurality of paths transmitted from a plurality of terminals. A first rake combining unit 13a combines a plurality of demodulated signals corresponding to a first transmission terminal from among the signals demodulated by the fingers 12. A second rake combining unit 13b combines a plurality of demodulated signals corresponding to a second transmission terminal from among the signals demodulated by the fingers 12. A change-over switch 16a connects a finger 12-8 from among the fingers 12-1 to 12-32 to either of the first rake combining unit 13a and the second rake combining unit 13b in a switchable manner. Therefore, a plurality of users can use a single finger in a switchable manner.

Abstract: An image data transmission system includes mobile transceivers having memories storing image data that is organized in sequential blocks. The mobile transceivers sequentially pass by a stationary transceiver and pause proximate the stationary transceiver. While pausing, a mobile transceiver transmits a block of the image data to the stationary transceiver, which receives and stores the transmitted data. Data transmission is interrupted by movement of the formerly pausing mobile transceiver. The stationary transceiver transmits a pointer signal to a paused mobile transceiver indicating which blocks of image data have been stored in the stationary transceiver so that the mobile transceivers transmit the blocks sequentially until all blocks have been received and stored by the stationary transceiver. The apparatus may be employed in a mass transit system, such as a subway or commuter train, in which the mobile transceivers are mounted in train cars and the stationary transceiver is located at a station.
