Publication number: 20130301592Abstract: In a radio communication apparatus a configuration section sets transmission bands and receiving bands in a band group. A configuration control section controls the configuration section so that each of the receiving bands is not included between the transmission bands in the band group. In a radio communication apparatus a filter section includes a filter which can extract transmission bands lumped together. When a band group which is transmitted from the radio communication apparatus and in which setting is performed so that each of receiving bands is not included between transmission bands is received, a filter control section controls the filter section so as to extract the transmission bands from the received band group.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventor: Daisuke OGAWA

Publication number: 20130301593Abstract: Techniques for mapping virtual resources to physical resources in a wireless communication system are described. In an aspect, a virtual resource (e.g., a virtual resource block) may be mapped to a physical resource in a selected subset of physical resources based on a first mapping function, which may map contiguous virtual resources to non-contiguous physical resources in the selected subset. The physical resource in the selected subset may then be mapped to an allocated physical resource (e.g., a physical resource block) among a plurality of available physical resources based on a second mapping function. In one design, the first mapping function may include (i) a re-mapping function that maps an index of the virtual resource to a temporary index and (ii) a permutation function (e.g., a bit-reversed row-column interleaver) that maps the temporary index to an index of the physical resource in the selected subset.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Peter Gaal, Juan Montojo

Publication number: 20130301594Abstract: A radio receiver apparatus that can effectively utilize GI to improve the reception quality. In this apparatus, a data extracting part extracts a data portion of a direct wave from a signal subjected to a radio reception process by a received RF part. A GI extracting part extracts, from the signal subjected to the radio reception process by the received RF part, GI having a length determined by an extracted GI length deciding part. The extracted GI is adjusted by a data position adjusting part such that its rear end coincides with the read end of the extracted data portion. A combining part combines the extracted data portion with the GI the data position of which has been adjusted. The combined signal is then supplied to a frequency axis equalizing part, which equalizes the signal distortions of the combined signal on the frequency axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Kenichi Miyoshi, Akihiko Nishio, Takashi Iwai, Sadaki Futagi, Katsuhiko Hiramatsu, Daichi Imamura, Takashi Aramaki

Publication number: 20130301596Abstract: Disclosed is a method for enabling a terminal to process a signal in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method for enabling a terminal to process a signal in the wireless communication system includes the steps of: estimating a recommended transmission beamforming vector and a prior received filtering vector; calculating an effective channel for an adjacent cell by applying the prior received filtering vector to a signal received from the adjacent cell; estimating a constraint beamforming vector for the adjacent cell on the basis of the effective channel; transmitting the information of the transmission beamforming vector and the constraint beamforming vector to the serving cell; receiving adaptive response signals of the transmission beamforming vector and the constraint beamforming vector and the constraint beamforming vector; and receiving the signal to which the transmission beamforming vector is applied, from the serving cell by applying the prior received filtered vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2011Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Daewon Lee, Hanbyul Seo

Publication number: 20130301598Abstract: A method of allowing a data connection between a first node attached to a private IP network and a second node external to the private IP network and connected to a public IP network. The method comprises allocating a private network IP address, a hostname, and a service name to said first node, the service name associated with a service provided by the first node. A gateway allocates a unique public network side port number to the first node. A mapping between the private network IP address and public network side port is included in a connection table. Records are installed in a Domain Name System of the public IP network that include: a service record defining said hostname and public network side port number as the location for said service name; and an address record defining a public IP address of said gateway as the location for said hostname.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2011Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Tomas Holm, Lars-Örjan Kling, Andreas Cleverdal, Robert Skog
