Abstract

A transmitting station includes an amplifier unit that amplifies a transmitting signal, a transmitting antenna that wirelessly transmits the transmitting signal that has been amplified, and a controller unit that regulates a frequency of the transmitting signal and an input power to the amplifier unit on the basis of an estimation value of reception quality that is a signal quality when the transmitting signal is received by a receiving station.

Claims (25)

1. A transmitting station, comprising:

an encoder to encode a transmitting signal;

a modulator to modulate the transmitting signal;

an amplifier to amplify the transmitting signal;

a transmitting antenna to wirelessly transmit the transmitting signal that has been amplified; and

a controller to regulate a frequency of the transmitting signal, an input power to the amplifier, and at least one of the number of multiple values for modulation of a modulation method to be specified to the modulator and a code rate to be specified to the encoder on the basis of an estimation value of reception quality that is a signal quality when the transmitting signal is received by a receiving station,

wherein: the controller regulates the input power on the basis of the estimation value of the reception quality to regulate the amplifier to have a linear or non-linear amplifying characteristic; and the controller increases one of the number of multiple values for modulation and the code rate when regulating the input power to a value that brings about the linear amplifying characteristic.

2. A control circuit to control a transmitting station, the transmitting station comprising:

an encoder to encode a transmitting signal;

a modulator to modulate the transmitting signal;

an amplifier to amplify the transmitting signal; and

a transmitting antenna to wirelessly transmit the transmitting signal that has been amplified,

wherein the control circuit causes the transmitting station to execute processes of:

regulating a frequency of the transmitting signal, an input power to the amplifier, and at least one of the number of multiple values for modulation of a modulation method to be specified to the modulator and a code rate to be specified to the encoder on the basis of an estimation value of reception quality that is a signal quality when the transmitting signal is received by a receiving station;

regulating the input power on the basis of the estimation value of the reception quality to regulate the amplifier to have a linear or non-linear amplifying characteristic; and

increasing one of the number of multiple values for modulation and the code rate when regulating the input power to a value that brings about the linear amplifying characteristic.

3. A non-transitory storage medium having a program stored therein configured to control a transmitting station the program configured to control the transmitting station comprising:

an encoder to encode a transmitting signal;

a modulator to modulate the transmitting signal;

an amplifier to amplify the transmitting signal; and

a transmitting antenna to wirelessly transmit the transmitting signal that has been amplified,

wherein the program causes the transmitting station to execute processes of:

regulating a frequency of the transmitting signal, an input power to the amplifier, and at least one of the number of multiple values for modulation of a modulation method to be specified to the modulator and a code rate to be specified to the encoder on the basis of an estimation value of reception quality that is a signal quality when the transmitting signal is received by a receiving station;

regulating the input power on the basis of the estimation value of the reception quality to regulate the amplifier to have a linear or non-linear amplifying characteristic; and

increasing one of the number of multiple values for modulation and the code rate when regulating the input power to a value that brings about the linear amplifying characteristic.
