Abstract:
1. A communication terminal apparatus comprising: a reception section that receives signals which are transmitted from a plurality of base station apparatuses and multiplied by respective scrambling codes specific to each base station apparatus, and receives, at different timings, pilot signals included in the signals transmitted from the base station apparatuses at timings not overlapping with each other; a reception synchronizing section that detects reception timings of the pilot signals of the base station apparatuses received by the reception section at the different timings and the scrambling codes; a storage section that stores the reception timings and the scrambling codes detected at the reception synchronizing section per base station apparatus; a demodulation section that performs despreading processing on the signals of the base station apparatuses received by the reception section based on the reception timings and the scrambling codes stored in the storage section and then demodulates the despread signals; a switching section that estimates timings at which the signals of the base station apparatuses received by the reception section are to be subjected to the despreading processing and selects reception timings and scrambling codes of the base station apparatuses to be subjected to the despreading processing from the detected reception timings and the detected scrambling codes stored in the storage section such that the selected reception timings and the selected scrambling codes are outputted to the demodulation section at the estimated timings at which the demodulation section performs the despreading processing on the signals of the base station apparatuses received by the reception section; a position information obtaining section that obtains position information which is information of a position of the communication terminal apparatus; a synchronization difference calculation section that calculates an error of a difference of the reception timings of the pilot signals between the base station apparatuses with respect to a reference value based on a difference of the reception timings between the base station apparatuses detected by the reception synchronizing section, the position information obtained by the position information obtaining section, prestored information of positions of the base station apparatuses and speed of radio waves; and a reporting section that reports synchronization difference information which is information of the error calculated by the synchronization difference calculation section to the base station apparatuses.
