Techniques for reducing the time required for frequency scan in acquisition are disclosed. In one aspect, received power measurements are made at one or more of the possible carrier frequencies and system search is performed on one or more of those frequencies when the power measurement exceeds a threshold. In another aspect, the power is measured at one or more frequencies in a band of frequencie...

The invention intends to achieve new additions of terminals that use a wireless LAN with a simple process, while preventing leakage of data indicating cipher keys. The access point is notified of the cipher systems adaptable to the terminals. The access point narrows the cipher systems adaptable to itself, sets the cipher keys and notifies them, and also determines the station IDs for the cipher k...

The process involves making at least two successive measurements of the amplitude of a received signal during an acquisition phase. The amplitude value of the signal is estimated once when the signal has been acquired. The gain of the signal path upstream of an analog-to-digital converter in the radio receiver is adjusted by simultaneously applying a gain correction to all the individual analog st...
