Abstract

In order to make it possible to equalize the generation timing of a voice packet generated by a packet generation device among a plurality of packet generation devices, this packet generation device comprises: a reception unit that receives a voice essence which is voice information corresponding to a voice; a generation unit that generates a voice packet including the voice essence in a payload; and an output unit that outputs the voice packet. The timing at which the generation unit generates each of the voice packets is the same timing among the plurality of packet generation devices with reference to a common clock synchronized with a common time source among the plurality of packet generation devices. In each of the packet generation devices, the generation interval between the voice packets is the time required for the output of one voice packet.

Abstract

In a radio master unit of the present disclosure, a OFDMA preferential setting unit preferentially selects, based on user input information, the OFDMA scheme as a communication scheme for performing communication with a plurality of radio slave units connected to the master unit. When the setting to preferentially select the OFDMA scheme is made, a connected-slave-unit detection unit detects the number of the radio slave units to be communicated among a plurality of the radio slave units connected to the master unit. When the number of the radio slave units to be communicated with is larger than a predetermined number, a OFDMA control unit averages the volume of data to be transmitted and received to and from the radio slave units to be communicated with among the radio slave units to be communicated with, and executes control of OFDMA communication with the radio slave units to be communicated with.

Abstract

In a communication device (10), a replica signal formation unit (13) encodes a PUCCH data sequence for each PUCCH resource obtained by a decoding unit (12) to form a replica signal of a PUCCH signal for each PUCCH resource. A likelihood calculation unit (14) calculates a correlation value between the PUCCH signal for the PUCCH resource obtained in a demodulation unit (11A) and the replica signal for the same PUCCH resource obtained in the replica signal formation unit (13). The likelihood calculation unit (14) calculates a likelihood for the PUCCH resource on the basis of the correlation value calculated for the PUCCH resource. A control unit (15) selects, on the basis of the likelihood calculated for each of a plurality of PUCCH resources of a PUCCH resource set, from the plurality of PUCCH resources, a PUCCH resource to be used by a UE for UCI transmission.

Abstract

A telephone exchange apparatus includes an acquisition unit, an extraction unit, a specification unit, and a call control unit. In a case where an incoming call including a user ID is detected, the acquisition unit acquires event information of a user having the user ID, the event information indicating a schedule event. The extraction unit extracts location information of the user from the event information. The specification unit specifies a telephone terminal to which the user is most likely to respond among telephone terminals on a basis of the location information, the telephone terminals having been used by the user in a past. The call control unit causes the specified telephone terminal to ring.
