Abstract: Baseband input units input baseband received signals. Initial value computation units compute correlation values by performing correlation processings between the baseband received signals and a training signal in the interval of the training signal. A phase error estimating unit outputs a phase error signal based on the baseband received signals arid the training signal. Weight computation units generate initial weighting coefficients by compensating the correlation values with the phase error signal, when the interval of the training signal ends. In the interval of a data signal, the weighting coefficients are updated from the initial weighting coefficients. A synthesizing unit adds up the baseband signals after weighting the baseband received signals with the weighting coefficients.

Abstract: In a reception system of a base station according to the communication system of a PDMA, CDMA and the like, the reception signals from a plurality of users received on a plurality of antennas are frequency-converted by a frequency conversion circuit, and then converted into digital signals by an A/D converter to be applied to a DSP. The signal of a particular user is extracted from the input signal by an adaptive array. Also, the interference user signal component is removed by an interference canceller. Accordingly, the signal component of a desired user having the interference component caused by an unrequired user signal suppressed is output. Thus, the communication quality in a radio communication system such as a mobile communication system can be improved.

Abstract: A slot of a low multiplicity is processed to narrow transmission timing intervals for already-connected users and thereby to make preparation for a new user, and a slot of a high multiplicity is processed to keep the maximum transmission timing intervals for the already-connected users so that the preparation for the new user is not performed. As a result, it is possible to provide the slot prepared for the new user while maximizing the transmission timing intervals. Further, the transmission timing intervals for the already-connected users are kept as large as possible during the traffic channel for preventing the deterioration of characteristics, and the shifting of the transmission timing is performed for the new user during the control channel so that the optimum transmission timing intervals can be achieved when the traffic channel is established. A DSP (14) executes the processing.

Abstract: When once determined to be free of any demodulation error by an interference removing unit provided user by user, a replica signal calculated by the interference removing unit is subtracted from an input signal vector, and a calculated user signal is output as it is as a final user signal. When it is determined by the interference removing unit that there is a demodulation error, the user signal is again calculated by the interference removing unit of an interference canceller of a next stage. As subtraction of the replica signal corresponding to the user signal having a demodulation error from the input signal vector is inhibited, precision of the interference wave removal can be improved.
