Abstract

A transmission apparatus includes a scheme identification unit, a function control unit, and a signal processing unit. The scheme identification unit identifies at least one of a modulation scheme, a frame format, or an encoding scheme on the basis of a characteristic of a signal received. The function control unit performs control to cause a signal processing function to operate, the signal processing function depending on a result of identification of the at least one of the modulation scheme, the frame format, or the encoding scheme by the scheme identification unit. The signal processing unit is controlled to operate by the function control unit, and processes the signal received.

Claims (27)

1 . A transmission apparatus comprising:

a scheme identification unit configured to identify at least one of a modulation scheme, a frame format, or an encoding scheme on a basis of a characteristic of a signal received;

a function control unit configured to perform control to cause a signal processing function to operate, the signal processing function depending on a result of identification of the at least one of the modulation scheme, the frame format, or the encoding scheme by the scheme identification unit; and

a signal processing unit configured to be controlled to operate by the function control unit and process the signal received.

2 . The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the function control unit is configured to activate a signal processing function depending on the result of identification and allocate a resource for the signal processing function to operate.

3 . The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheme identification unit is configured to identify a modulation scheme of the signal received on a basis of a frequency distribution of amplitudes of the signal received, and

the function control unit is configured to perform control to cause a demodulation function to operate, the demodulation function depending on the modulation scheme identified by the scheme identification unit.

4 . The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheme identification unit is configured to identify a frame format of the signal received on a basis of a bit string pattern of a preamble included in the signal received, and

the function control unit is configured to perform control to cause a frame detection function to operate, the frame detection function depending on the frame format identified by the scheme identification unit.

5 . The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheme identification unit is configured to perform processing of demodulation of a code included in a frame detected from the signal received, and identify an encoding scheme of the signal received on a basis of an amount of errors generated by the processing of demodulation, and

the function control unit is configured to perform control to cause a decoding function to operate, the decoding function depending on the encoding scheme identified by the scheme identification unit.

6 . A function control apparatus comprising:

a function control unit that configured to receive, from a transmission apparatus, information on a result of identification of at least one of a modulation scheme, a frame format, or an encoding scheme identified on a basis of a characteristic of a signal received by the transmission apparatus, and perform control to cause a signal processing function to operate in the transmission apparatus, the signal processing function depending on the result of identification received.

7 . A system comprising a terminal apparatus and a transmission apparatus, wherein

the terminal apparatus is configured to transmit a signal to the transmission apparatus, and

the transmission apparatus includes:

a scheme identification unit that configured to identify at least one of a modulation scheme, a frame format, or an encoding scheme on a basis of a characteristic of a signal received from the terminal apparatus;

a function control unit that configured to perform control to cause a signal processing function to operate, the signal processing function depending on a result of identification of the at least one of the modulation scheme, the frame format, or the encoding scheme by the scheme identification unit; and

a signal processing unit configured to be controlled to operate by the function control unit and process the signal received.

8 . A signal processing method, comprising:

identifying at least one of a modulation scheme, a frame format, or an encoding scheme on a basis of a characteristic of a signal received;

performing control to cause a signal processing function to operate, the signal processing function depending on a result of identification of the at least one of the modulation scheme, the frame format, or the encoding scheme by the scheme identification unit; and

performing control to cause the signal processing function to operate depending on the result of identification, and process the signal received.
