Abstract:
According to a communication method of the present disclosure, a responder, after the end of transmission sector sweep (TXSS), receives from an initiator a first feedback frame including a BF training type FIELD indicating whether or not to implement a beam forming training (BFT) of a single user multi-input multi-output (SU-MIMO). If the BF training type FIELD indicates that a BFT of the SU-MIMO is to be implemented, the responder transmits to the initiator a second feedback based on the result of the TXSS and including a signal to noise ratio (SNR) and a sector identifier (ID) order. The initiator implements the BFT of the SU-MIMO between the initiator and the responder on the basis of the SNR and the sector ID order.

An initiator device (102) is provided with a generation circuit (810) for supporting Single User (SU)-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) operation and generating a first signal (602, 652) including a value that indicates which of a reciprocal MIMO phase and a non-reciprocal MIMO phase is to be applied to SU-MIMO BF training, and a transmission circuit (820) for transmitting the first signal (602, 652) to a responder device (104). The responder device (104) is provided with a reception circuit (820) for receiving the first signal (602, 652) from the initiator device (102), and a processing circuit (830) for determining on the basis of the value which of the reciprocal MIMO phase and the non-reciprocal MIMO phase is to be applied to SU-MIMO BF training.
Abstract:
A communication device (STA) comprises: a reception unit which receives a DMG Beacon frame; a determination unit which determines whether an SSW frame is to be transmitted or not using a receiving antenna gain of a communication device (AP) as a communication partner included in the DMG Beacon frame, and received power of the DMG Beacon frame; and a transmission unit which transmits the SSW frame if the determination unit determines that the SSW frame is to be transmitted.
Abstract:
Disclosed are transmission equipment and a method for sending control messages in which the processing time and power consumption at the receiving end are reduced by improving the efficiency of reception processing at the receiving end. At a base station (100), a message generating unit (103) generates a control message and an OFDM communication unit (104) transmits a frame including the control message. The control message (300) has a unicast region (320) and broadcast/multicast regions (310), and scheduling information units (330) comprising a single MS-ID, a plurality of information elements (IE) that are transmitted to each mobile station (200) corresponding to this MS-ID, and an IE number indicator, which is the number information of this plurality of IEs, are included in a group of scheduling information units arranged in the unicast region (320).
Abstract:
To improve the frequency diversity effect by preventing the related bits in the encoded data from being biased to the specified carrier in the case of performing the multicarrier operation. A modulated symbol sequence is segmented in a data segmentation section (116), and the segmented modulated symbol blocks are mapped on a plurality of carriers in a segment mapping section (120). The data segmentation section (116) groups each of K parts in the modulated symbol sequence into the same number of N groups, cyclically shifts the N groups for the respective parts of any (K-1) parts with shift amounts which differ among the parts, and substitutes the cyclically-shifted groups of the plurality of parts in the modulated symbol sequence with one another among the parts to segment the groups into a plurality of blocks.

Abstract:
In a MIMO system using a cross-polarized antenna structure, even if no ideal XPD can be obtained, the interference between different polarized waves can be reduced to allow an effective precoding to be executed. When a MIMO communication is performed between a transmitter (250) and a receiver (260) each using a cross-polarized antenna structure, a channel estimating and precoding selection section (214) of the receiver (260) performs a channel estimation of MIMO channels from the transmitter to the receiver, decides a precoding matrix (P) of a projection matrix for mutually orthogonalizing or substantially orthogonalizing the channel response matrixes for respective different polarized waves, and feeds the determined precoding matrix (P) back to the transmitter (250). In the transmitter (250), a precoding processing section (208) applies the precoding matrix (P) to the spatial stream corresponding to one of the polarized waves to perform a precoding, thereby allowing the transmitter (250) to transmit the polarized waves with the orthogonality therebetween maintained.
