Abstract
A transmission method simultaneously transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal at a common frequency performs precoding on both signals using a fixed precoding matrix and regularly changes the phase of at least one of the signals, thereby improving received data signal quality for a reception device.
Claims2
A broadcasting method, performed by a broadcast apparatus, the broadcasting method comprising:
- coding information bits to generate a first coded signal and a second coded signal, based on low-density parity-check (LDPC) coding and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) coding;
- applying a precoding to the first coded signal and the second coded signal according to a determined matrix F to generate a first precoded signal and a second precoded signal;
- applying a phase change to the second precoded signal to generate a second phase-changed signal, the phase change being not applied to the first precoded signal;
- inserting pilots into the first precoded signal and the second phase-changed signal;
- and
- transmitting the first precoded signal and the second phase-changed signal from a first antenna and a second antenna, respectively, on a same frequency band and at a same time, wherein
- the phase change uses a phase change value sequentially selected from among N phase change values, N being an integer greater than two, each of the N phase change values being selected at least once within a determined period, and
- a difference between two adjacent phase change values of the N phase change values is 2π/N.
