Latest Patents

Takenouchi is credited with 1 patent: “Radio Relay Apparatus, Method of Determining Identification Code Thereof, and Monitoring Apparatus.” The invention describes a radio relay apparatus that receives a base station identification code and uses it to determine a temporary identification code, which it sends to a monitoring apparatus.

The monitoring apparatus checks whether that temporary code conflicts with the formal identification codes of other relay apparatuses. If there is no conflict, it sends the temporary code back for use as the relay apparatus’s formal identification code. If a conflict exists, it assigns and sends a different code. The relay apparatus then begins operating with its formal identification code, supporting the rapid formation of a radio communication area.

Career Highlights

The available information associates Takenouchi with NTT DOCOMO, Inc. His patent focuses on coordinating identification codes between radio relay apparatuses and a monitoring apparatus, helping prevent code conflicts during setup.
