Patent ID: 8452240

Claim:
A radio communication device comprising: a plurality of leaky coaxial cables to transmit and receive radio signals; a detection unit operable to detect a difference in a reception timing of a radio signal, transmitted from another radio communication device, among the plurality of leaky coaxial cables; and a transmission timing adjustment unit operable to adjust a transmission timing of the radio signals, to be respectively transmitted from the plurality of leaky coaxial cables based on the difference in the reception timing detected by the detection unit, wherein the transmission timing adjustment unit adjusts the transmission timing of the radio signals in such a way that a difference in reception timing of the radio signals to be respectively transmitted from the plurality of leaky coaxial cables in the another radio communication device is within a predetermined range, wherein the transmission timing adjustment unit adjusts the transmission timing in such a way that the difference in the reception timing of the radio signals to be respectively transmitted from the plurality of leaky coaxial cables in the another radio communication device is within a time range of a guard interval added to each OFDM symbol, and wherein a synchronous unit detects each synchronous timing of the received radio signal by the plurality of leaky coaxial cables, and wherein the detection unit detects a difference in the synchronous timing of the received radio signals detected by the synchronous unit as the difference in the reception timing.
