| 20160128001 | COMMUNICATION CONTROL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND TERMINAL DEVICE - [Object] To provide an arrangement that can prevent the adverse interference when a frequency channel is secondarily used, at low cost. | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160128002 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A wireless communication apparatus supports at least a second wireless communication scheme between a first wireless communication scheme and the second wireless communication scheme. The first wireless communication scheme requires that a wireless medium is determined to be busy when a reception level is equal to or greater than a minimum reception sensitivity level of a physical scheme. The apparatus includes a first processing unit and a second processing unit. The first processing unit is configured to set a value lower than a maximum transmission power of the first wireless communication scheme, for a maximum transmission power of the second wireless communication scheme and set a value greater than the minimum reception sensitivity level of the physical scheme, for a carrier sense level, when the second wireless communication scheme is used. The second processing unit is configured to carry out carrier sense using the carrier sense level. | 2016-05-05 |
