Abstract

A wireless communication method includes phase shift amount determination processing for determining a phase shift amount for each subcarrier of transmission data, modulation processing for modulating the transmission data and further shifting a phase according to the phase shift amount for each subcarrier, and precoding processing for performing precoding on the transmission data after the modulation processing. The transmission data after the precoding processing is transmitted from the transmission device to the reception device. A plurality of types of phase shift patterns prepared in advance define different phase shift amounts. The phase shift amount determination processing includes: selecting, from among the plurality of types of phase shift patterns, one that minimizes a PAPR of the transmission data after the precoding processing or one that maximizes a data reception quality in the reception device; and determining the phase shift amount for each subcarrier according to the selected phase shift pattern.

Each cell comprises two flat faces orthogonal to the axis A and a thickness along the axis A that gradually increases over the life of the battery pack. The plates are configured to move away from each other along the axis A such that an increase in cell thickness does not result in a corresponding progressive increase in the axial stress acting on the plates.

Abstract

An access point of an embodiment includes a wireless signal processing unit and a management unit. The management unit sets a first service period for providing a first traffic transmission opportunity to the first wireless terminal apparatus in a first cycle and a second service period for providing a second traffic transmission opportunity to the second wireless terminal apparatus in a second cycle. The management unit manages a first transmission priority based on a delay requirement condition of the first traffic and a second transmission priority based on a delay requirement condition of the second traffic. In a case of detecting a conflict between the first and second service periods is detected and confirming that the first transmission priority is higher than the second transmission priority, the management unit notifies the second wireless terminal apparatus of a change in a configuration related to the second service period.

Abstract

A signal processing apparatus includes a timing correction unit, a frame detection unit, a beam control unit, and a decoding unit. The timing correction unit detects sample timing deviations among reception systems on the basis of known signal sections included in waveform data having been obtained by sampling waveforms of radio signals having been received by a communication apparatus using the plurality of reception systems and performs processing of correcting the detected sample timing deviations on the waveform data. The frame detection unit detects frames of radio signals in the waveform data with the sample timing deviations corrected and performs compensation for a Doppler shift on the detected frames. The beam control unit performs reception beam control on the plurality of frames on which the compensation for the Doppler shift has been performed. The decoding unit decodes signals having been obtained through the reception beam control and obtains data having been transmitted by the radio signals.
