Patent number: 11575552Abstract: A communication system includes a communication apparatus and a base station. The communication apparatus includes a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) transformer which transforms a time-domain signal into a frequency-domain signal with a DFT size that is a product of powers of a plurality of values; a mapper which maps the frequency-domain signal on a plurality of frequency bands, each frequency band being located at a position separate from position(s) of other(s) of the plurality of frequency bands; and a signal generator which generates a single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) time-domain signal from the mapped signal. The base station includes a receiver which receives the SC-FDMA time-domain signal; a combiner which generates the frequency-domain signal from the SC-FDMA time-domain signal; and a transformer which transforms the frequency-domain signal into the time-domain signal with an inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) having the DFT size.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Sun Patent TrustInventors: Shinsuke Takaoka, Masayuki Hoshino, Kenichi Miyoshi

Patent number: 11570834Abstract: Examples pertaining to protocol improvement for redirection to another system in mobile communications are described. An apparatus in a 5th Generation System (5GS) receives, from a mobile network, a reject cause indicating that redirection to an Evolved Packet System (EPS) is required. Responsive to receiving the reject cause while no suitable cell of the first mobile network connected to an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) is found or while no cell of the first mobile network connected to an EPC can be selected, the apparatus enters a predefined 5th Generation Mobility Management (5GMM) state and starts a timer.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: MediaTek Singapore Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Marko Niemi, Matti Moisanen

Patent number: 11570743Abstract: A control system includes a communications unit, an acquisition unit, and an output unit. The communications unit communicates with a transmitter that transmits a wireless signal. The acquisition unit acquires location information about a location of the transmitter based on the wireless signal that has been transmitted from the transmitter and received by the communications unit. The output unit has an instruction signal including adjustment information transmitted, in accordance with the location information acquired by the acquisition unit, from the communications unit to the transmitter. The adjustment information is used to vary at least one of a time interval at which the transmitter transmits the wireless signal or transmission power with which the transmitter transmits the wireless signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Yanfeng Wang, Nobuo Matsuo, Masayuki Amano
