Abstract

In an arithmetic operation system, an evaluation unit calculates a difference amount between a teaching signal and an estimated signal. The teaching signal is a spatial distribution signal observed with respect to a spatial structure on a path of an emission wave in a target space (i.e., a teaching space) by using the emission wave. In addition, the estimated signal is a signal for comparing with the teaching signal, and is an estimated spatial distribution signal. The estimated signal is formed based on estimated density associated to each sample point acquired from a spatial estimation model, by a sampling unit inputting information about a position of each of a plurality of sample points on the path to the spatial estimation model. An updating unit updates the spatial estimation model, based on the difference amount.

Abstract

In an arithmetic operation system, an evaluation unit calculates a difference amount between a teaching signal and an estimated signal. The teaching signal has a value that is obtained by integrating spatial distribution signals observed by a sensor using emission waves for a spatial structure along a region of interest in an emission wave region in which emission waves are emitted from a plurality of emission reference directions and reach the sensor. The region of interest is a curved line region or a curved surface region intersecting the plurality of emission reference directions. This estimated signal is calculated by integrating a plurality of pieces of estimated density of a plurality of sample points obtained from a spatial estimation model by having a sampling unit input information about a position of each of the plurality of sample points on the region of interest to the spatial estimation model.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable media for communication of a RS. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device receives information indicating a set of resources for transmitting a reference signal from the network device. If the terminal device receives an indication in a first slot for triggering a transmission of the reference signal, the terminal device determines a second slot for transmitting the reference signal. The terminal device determines whether the second slot is valid based on a slot configuration. In this way, it can avoid the SRS transmission timing ambiguous or misalignment between terminal device and network.

The communication unit transmits and receives information to and from a first terminal associated with the target person when the authentication has succeeded. In other words, the communication apparatus performs bidirectional communication with the first terminal. The first terminal is operated by, for example, a different person from the target person. At least a part of information transmitted by the communication unit to the first terminal is related to the target person. Further, at least a part of information received by the communication unit from the first terminal includes information from a person who operates the first terminal to the target person.

Abstract

In an arithmetic operation system, an updating unit updates a spatial estimation model, based on a first difference amount and a second difference amount. The first difference amount is a difference amount between a first teaching signal and a first estimated signal. The first teaching signal is a spatial distribution signal observed by a first sensor with respect to a spatial structure on a path of an emission wave in a target space (i.e., a teaching space) by using the emission wave. The second difference amount is a difference amount between a second teaching signal and a second estimated signal. The second teaching signal is an observed signal observed by a second sensor different in type from the first sensor. The second estimated signal is a signal for comparing with the second teaching signal, and is a signal of a form similar to that of the second teaching signal.

Abstract

A target RAN node (3) receives, from a core network (5), a message requesting a handover of a radio terminal (1) from a bearer-based network to a bearer-less network. This handover request message includes flow information related to at least one session to be established in the bearer-less network in order to transfer at least one packet flow of the radio terminal (1). The target RAN node (3) transmits, to the core network (5), a handover acknowledge response message containing a transparent container that includes a radio resource configuration information derived from the flow information and is to be forwarded to a source RAN node associated (2) through the core network (5). It is thus, for example, possible to appropriately configuring an AS layer of a target RAT in an inter-RAT handover.

Abstract

When a control signal transmitted from a session management functional unit receiving a connection instruction (for example, Attach or the like) of a terminal is received, a policy management functional unit of a network apparatus notifies a LAN located between a core network and the Internet of a policy for the terminal. Specifically, the policy management functional unit notifies the LAN of the policy via a TCP-based interface or an SCTP-based interface. The policy management functional unit receives the control signal via the TCP-based interface or the SCTP-based interface.

Abstract

A distortion compensation filter whose filter coefficient is adaptively controlled compensates for a distortion included in a reception signal obtained by performing coherent reception of a signal transmitted from a transmitter in a receiver. A group delay ripple calculation device calculates a group delay included in the reception signal based on a filter coefficient of a distortion compensation filter and calculates group delay ripple from the calculated group delay. The feedback calculation unit calculates a phase response based on the calculated group delay ripple. The feedback calculation unit feeds the calculated phase response back to one or more filters having a phase compensation function disposed in a stage before an adaptive equalization filter included in the receiver, and causes one or more filters to at least partially compensate for the group delay ripple.
