Abstract

Abstract A communication method between a first station and a second station with a full-duplex for transmission power control according to the present invention, includes a receiving step at the second station of receiving an information transmitted from the first station, a first processing step at the second station of processing a first procedure after the receiving step, a second processing step at said second station of processing a second procedure for comparing an output value in said first processing step with a variable reference value set in response to a reception condition, a transmission step at the second station of transmitting a power control information generated in the second processing step to the first station, and a power control step at the first station of controlling a transmission power by the power control information.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 110 words
A communication method between a first station and a second station with a full-duplex for transmission power control, comprising the steps of: receiving at said second station an information transmitted from said first station; performing at said second station a first processing procedure after said receiving step; performing at said second station a second processing procedure for comparing an output value in said first processing procedure with a variable reference value set in response to a reception condition; transmitting from said second station power control information generated in said second processing procedure to said first station; and controlling at said first station a transmission power by said power control information.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 30 words
A communication method according to claim 1, wherein said first processing procedure is a procedure for estimating a quality of a communication path from a status of a received signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
A communication method according to claim 2, wherein said variable reference value set in response to a reception condition in said second processing step is a difference between an estimated error value of a decoded received signal and a predetermined fixed reference value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 47 words
A communication method according to claim 3, wherein said variable reference value set in response to a reception condition in said second processing step is an accumulated value of a difference between an estimated error value of a decoded received signal and a predetermined fixed reference value.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 83 words
A communication apparatus with a transmission power control in full-duplex, comprising: a receiving means for receiving information; a first processing means for processing a first procedure for an output signal of said receiving means; a second processing means for processing a second procedure for comparing an output value in said first processing means with a variable reference value set in response to a reception condition; and a transmission means for transmitting an output signal of said second processing means as power control information.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 34 words
A communication apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said first procedure at said first processing means is a procedure for estimating a quality of a communication path from a status of a received signal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 43 words
A communication apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said variable reference value set in response to a reception condition in said second processing step is a difference between an estimated error value of a decoded received signal and a predetermined fixed reference value.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 47 words
A communication apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said variable reference value set in response to a reception condition in said second processing step is an accumulated value of a difference between an estimated error value of a decoded received signal and a predetermined fixed reference value.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 43 words
A communication apparatus according to claim 7 or 8, wherein said procedure for obtaining an estimated error value of a decoded received signal in said second processing means is a procedure for comparing a previously decoded code with a re-encoded code after decoding.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 45 words
A communication apparatus according to any one of claims 6 to 9, wherein said procedure for estimating a quality of a communication path at said first processing means is a procedure for calculating a ratio of an estimated noise power to an estimated received power.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 41 words
A communication apparatus according to any one of claims 5 to 10, wherein said communication apparatus is a subscriber, said receiving means receives a signal transmitted from a base station, and said transmission means transmits an information to said base station.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 44 words
A communication apparatus according to any one of claims 5 to 11, wherein said communication apparatus is a base station, said receiving means receives a signal transmitted from a plurality of subscribers, and said transmission means transmits an information to said plurality of subscribers.
