Patent number: 9312931Abstract: In a case where, although a radio base station (eNB 1-1) has established an SRS transmission frequency band, a serving radio terminal (UE 2-1) has transmitted, to the radio base station (eNB 1-1), an SRS by use of only a frequency band that is a part of the SRS transmission frequency band, the radio base station (eNB 1-1) allocates a downstream resource block the frequency band of which is included in the SRS transmission frequency band and further the frequency band of which is identical with the frequency band of the SRS received at the latest; then establishes, for the downstream resource block, a transmission weight based on the SRS received at the latest; and then uses the downstream resource block to transmit a radio signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2011Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Yoshizo Sato, Nobuaki Takamatsu, Masahiro Yagi, Hiroki Fujita, Masaaki Nakata

Patent number: 9301194Abstract: An eNB1-1 transmits an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to UE2-1 to UE2-3, in which SRS parameters and an application timing parameter are set, the SRS parameters differ for each of the UE2-1 to the UE2-3 and the application timing parameter is common in the UE2-1 to the UE2-3. The UE2-1 to the UE2-3 receive the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message and recognize the SRS parameters and the application timing parameter set in the message. Furthermore, when an application timing of the SRS parameter arrives, the UE2-1 to the UE2-3 apply the SRS parameter to the SRS and transmit the SRS.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2011Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Nobuaki Takamatsu, Masahiro Yagi, Yoshizo Sato, Masaaki Nakata, Hiroki Fujita

Patent number: 9203570Abstract: A setting unit sets a communication mode for different one or more counterpart communication apparatuses to a non-spatial multiplexing mode or a spatial multiplexing mode. Setting unit switches the setting of the communication mode for the different one or more counterpart communication apparatuses from the non-spatial multiplexing mode to the spatial multiplexing mode, on the basis of a capability of a communication system having an own apparatus and the different one or more counterpart communication apparatuses. A transmitting unit processes a transmitting signal to the different one or more counterpart communication apparatuses to output the processed signal to a plurality of antennas, on the basis of the set communication mode.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2011Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Yoshizo Sato, Takafumi Koga, Takeo Miyata

Patent number: 9071294Abstract: A use signal determining section determines the use of a first known signal for array transmission control, when a downlink priority is higher than a threshold value. The use signal determining section determines the use of a second known signal for the array transmission control, when the downlink priority is lower than the threshold value. When the first known signal is used for the array transmission control for a communication terminal performing downlink communication therewith, a scheduling executing section determines to perform uplink communication with the communication terminal. When the second known signal is used for the array transmission control for a communication terminal performing downlink communication therewith, the scheduling executing section determines whether or not to perform uplink communication with the communication terminal by using an uplink priority for the communication terminal.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2012Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventor: Yoshizo Sato

Patent number: 9025577Abstract: A resource determination unit determines at least a part within any downlink subframe as a first resource and determines at least a part of an UpPTS (Uplink Pilot Timeslot) or a part of an uplink subframe as a second resource for transmitting an SRS (Sounding Reference Signal). A transmission path state estimation unit estimates a state of a transmission path to a wireless terminal based on a DRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) included in uplink user data after the first resource is determined and until it receives an SRS, and it estimates a state of the transmission path to the wireless terminal based on an SRS after it received the SRS.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventor: Yoshizo Sato

Patent number: 8861543Abstract: A communication device and methods are disclosed. A first throughput is calculated when a current modulation scheme and a current encoding rate is changed, and a second throughput is calculated when a current retransmission unit is changed. The current modulation scheme and the current encoding rate are changed to provide a changed modulation scheme and a changed encoding rate, if the first throughput is greater than or equal to the second throughput when prescribed conditions are met. The current retransmission unit is changed to provide a changed retransmission unit, if the first throughput is less than the second throughput. Information is transmitted to a communication device of a communication partner based on the changed modulation scheme, the changed encoding rate, and the changed retransmission unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventor: Yoshizo Sato
