Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient signal system for supporting the high speed uplink packet access service (HSUPA) for relieving a resource usage amount and an arithmetic processing load. SOLUTION: A cellular communication system (100) comprises a first base station (103) which schedules resource for a user equipment (101). When receiving a resource allocation message, the user equipment (101) transmits a first message comprising a transmit indication to a plurality of base stations (103 to 109) wherein the transmit indication is indicative of a subsequent transmission of a second message. The user equipment (101) then proceeds to determine a transmit format for the second message; and to transmit the second message to the plurality of base stations (103 to 109). When receiving the transmit indication, the plurality of base stations (103 to 109) proceed to configure their receivers to receive the second message. The first message may be transmitted in a control channel and the second message may be transmitted in a user data channel. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for reducing the number of channelizing codes to be minimum, which must be monitored for each cell, when a user device is in an active set. SOLUTION: In a wireless communications system and a method for performing high-speed uplink packet access to a base station from the user device, each of the user device and the base station includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a controller. The user device is designed to transmit a data packet to the base station. The base station is designed to transmit control information corresponding to the data packet to the user device. The control information includes a user device absolute addition channel identification and includes at least one channelizing code assigned to the user device. The controller reduces the number of channelizing codes to be a minimum, which must be monitored for each cell by the user device, based on the channelizing code absolute addition channel identification, based on the transition to a hand-off state and/or to an active channel state.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-carrier spread spectrum communications device that is high in flexibility and capable of improving transmission characteristics, and a multi-carrier spread spectrum communication method, in multi-carrier spread spectrum communication. SOLUTION: Spreading processing of an information symbol is executed at a code spreader 24 in a transmitter 20. Here, only one-dimensional spreading of the information symbol is executed. Next, a mapper 30 arranges each chip data to a two-dimensional map composed of a frequency axis address and a time axis address, corresponding to the address of a chip by using a search table stored in a search table storage 31. The mapper 30 generates an OFDM symbol at the IFFT 25 of the transmitter 20, by using the chip data recorded in a buffer 32. The transmitter 20 transmits a multi-carrier CDMA signal via a D/A converter 26. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for reducing the power consumption of a battery of a mobile station when during in between roamings between a WAN 105 and a WLAN. SOLUTION: An access point (AP) 111 of the WLAN is synchronized with the WAN 105. The mobile station 101 transmits a beacon to the WLAN during a prescribed time window. Further, the AP 111 of the WLAN detecting the beacon from the mobile station 101 communicates with the WAN 105, through backhaul connections 113, 117 to inform the WAN 105 that the mobile station 101 has been detected. Thereafter, the WAN 105 transmits a message to the section 101, starts searching the AP of the WLAN, and hands over the mobile station from the WAN 105 to the access point of the WLAN.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for determining the time of conducting handoff, from a wireless LAN to another network. SOLUTION: In a wireless communication device which communicates in a wireless local area network, error information in a communication link between the radio communication device, and another device of the wireless local area network is determined in the second layer architecture of the radio communication device (214). Successively, it is determined based on the error information in the communication link, whether handoff from the wireless local area network is to be performed (230). COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of assigning an adaptation template to a scribed indicium representing a character. SOLUTION: The method comprises extracting a plurality of stroke segment vectors from the scribed indicium (block 602), determining for each extracted stroke segment vector the nearest of a plurality of stored probability distribution functions (PDFs) for respective reference stroke segment vectors (block 604) and assigning the adaptation template to the scribed indicium. The adaptation template comprises identifiers identifying the nearest PDF for each extracted stroke segment vector and links the scribed indicium to the character it represents (block 605) for storing in an adaptation dictionary (block 607).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved call setup procedure for a multimode transmission device. SOLUTION: In a radio communications system, provider equipment and at least two subscriber wireless devices which are operational in a telephonic communication mode and a dispatch communication mode respectively are contained. The provider equipment comprises a required communication mode and an identifying mode which specifies a target subscriber radio device. It is operational to receive a transmission request from the subscriber radio device. The provider equipment compares a mode specifying identifer with a request communication mode. When there is no agreement, it searches for database which stores at least two mode specifying identifers to each subscriber equipment, reads the mode specifying identifer corresponding to the request communication mode, using the received mode specifying identifer, and establishes a transmission between a subscriber radio device of a sending source and a target subscriber radio device into the request communication mode, using the mode specifying identifer corresponding to the requested communication mode.
