BASE STATION, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18022573 Titled 'BASE STATION, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PROGRAM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a base station that includes various components such as an antenna, a wireless device, a wireless information acquisition unit, a control unit, a directivity setting unit, a directivity control unit, and a communication instruction unit. The base station uses an omni-directional array antenna to communicate with one or more terminals within its coverage area. The wireless information acquisition unit collects information about the position of the terminals and the time blocks for communication. Based on this information, the control unit determines the specific time block and antenna gain for communication with each terminal. The directivity setting unit then configures the omni-directional array antenna to have directivity towards the terminal's direction. The directivity control unit controls the actual directivity of the antenna based on the configured pattern. Finally, the communication instruction unit instructs the wireless device to communicate with the terminal during the determined time block.


Original Abstract Submitted

A base station according to an embodiment includes an antenna, a wireless device, a wireless information acquisition unit, a control unit, a directivity setting unit, a directivity control unit, and a communication instruction unit. The antenna has an omni-directional array antenna. The wireless device communicates with one or more terminals in a cover area by using a wireless signal via the antenna. The wireless information acquisition unit acquires wireless information including the position of the terminal and a communication time block. On the basis of the wireless information, the control unit determines a communication execution time block, which is a time block for executing communication with the terminal, and an antenna gain of the antenna for communicating with the terminal. On the basis of the antenna gain, the directivity setting unit sets a directivity pattern of the omni-directional array antenna so as to have directivity in the direction of the terminal. On the basis of the directivity pattern, the directivity control unit controls the directivity of the omni-directional array antenna. The communication instruction unit instructs the wireless device to communicate with the terminal in the communication execution time block.
