51results about How to "Reduce interference power" patented technology

A base station communicates with mobile terminals existing within a subordinate cell, and in addition executes control to reduce interference from mobile terminals existing within adjacent cells. The base station measures the total interference power received from mobile terminals in all adjacent cells, and if the total interference power is greater than a preset value, issues a request to the base stations of all adjacent cells to reduce interference. The base station which has received the interference reduction request discriminates mobile terminals which impart interference to the base station which is the source of the interference reduction request, and reduces interference by either temporarily lowering the uplink data transmission rate or temporarily halting uplink data transmission for such mobile terminals.

Signals (typically in the form of OFDM signals) are transmitted between one or more transmitting antennas and one or more receiving antennas. The signals transmitted are subject to addition of a guard interval before scrambling in the time domain, while the signals received are subject to removal of the guard interval after scrambling in the time domain. Preferably time-scrambling of the OFDM signal being transmitted occurs after IFFT processing and guard interval insertion, while time de-scrambling of the signal being received occurs before both guard interval removal and FFT processing. Optionally, unscrambled pilot symbols (e.g. in the form of a training sequence), can be present at regular intervals inside the signal structure. At the receiver, equalization is carried out preferably in the frequency domain.

A communication relay apparatus wherein the error rate characteristic of a relay destination is improved to raise the throughput, while reducing the given interference power to prevent the reduction of the throughput of the whole communication system. In the apparatus, a signal addressed to a base station is received (ST1010), and a decoding process and other processes are performed (ST1020). A bit error determination is performed (ST1030), and if there is no bit error, a reproduction / relay process (ST1050) is performed. If there is any bit error, a threshold-based determination of reception quality is performed for each of subcarriers (ST1120-1130). If the reception quality is greater than a threshold value, the corresponding subcarrier is outputted (ST1140); otherwise, the corresponding subcarrier is not relayed (ST1150). A signal, which has been subjected to either process, is transmitted (ST1060).

For determining a quantizer step size for quantizing a signal including audio or video information, a first quantizer step size as well as an interference threshold are provided. Then, the actual interference introduced by the first quantizer step size is determined and compared with the interference threshold. Despite the fact that the comparison reveals that the actually introduced interference exceeds the threshold, a second, coarser quantizer step size is nevertheless used, which will then be used for quantization if it turns out that the interference introduced by the coarser, second quantizer step size falls below the threshold or falls below the interference introduced by the first quantizer step size. Thus, the quantization interference is reduced while the quantization is coarsened and, thus, the compression gain is increased.
