Patent number: 8738006Abstract: A mobile terminal communicating with a plurality of cells, including a serving cell, has a control unit. The control unit performs at least one control of (a) a first control for causing a path search unit to detect a path for the serving cell more preferentially than paths for cells other than the serving cell, (b) a second control for causing a finger assignment unit to assign a path detected for the serving cell preferentially over paths detected for cells other than the serving cell to a plurality of fingers, and (c) a third control for causing a reference frequency adjustment unit to adjust reference frequency so that the reference frequency is approximated to reference frequency of a base station controlling the serving cell.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Yoji Sugawara, Takashi Satou, Natsuhiko Nakayauchi, Tetsuya Oki, Makoto Kurimoto, Yuji Hosokawa, Shinsuke Okazoe

Patent number: 7023904Abstract: Disclosed is a synchronization tracking circuit for synchronizing the phase of a despreading code sequence on a receiving side to the phase of a spreading code sequence on a transmitting side. The synchronization tracking circuit has a DLL circuit for performing synchronization tracking by DLL (Delay Locked Loop) control, and an interference-component estimation unit for estimating an interference component inflicted by another path upon a prescribed path of interest among multiple paths. The DLL circuit, which has an interference elimination unit, executes DLL control based upon a signal from which the interference component from the other path has been eliminated and causes the phase of the despreading code sequence on the receiving side to be synchronized with and track the phase of the spreading code on the transmitting side.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2001Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masahiko Shimizu, Koji Matsuyama, Yoji Sugawara
