Wireless communication system

摘要

A wireless communication terminal includes: an array antenna; a MAC processing section, provided to detect a first order system, that interprets information on a quiet period that the base station has informed of the MAC processing section in advance and generates a quiet period signal; a synthesizing section that weights signals received by antennas of the array antenna by using weighting coefficients, and combines the signals to produce a synthetic signal; and an array antenna control section that optimizes the weighting coefficients so as to reduce an interference signal received from the array antenna, over a period of presence of the quiet period signal. The optimized weighting coefficients are applied while downstream signals from the base station are being received, but are not applied while the primary usage system is being detected.
