Abstract
An OFDM transmitter transmits an OFDM signal by a frame having a plurality of transmission symbol periods constituted of an effective symbol period for transmitting an information bit and a guard interval. The OFDM transmitter includes a guard interval length decider configured to decide a guard interval length in accordance with a feedback signal from an OFDM receiver; and a guard interval length changer configured to change a guard interval length in each transmission symbol period, in accordance with a decided guard interval length without changing a frame length.
Claims7
An OFDM transmitter which transmits an OFDM signal by a frame having a plurality of transmission symbol periods constituted of an effective symbol period for transmitting an information bit and a guard interval, the OFDM transmitter comprising:
- a guard interval length decider configured to decide a guard interval length in accordance with a feedback signal from an OFDM receiver;
- and
- a guard interval length changer configured to change a guard interval length in each transmission symbol period, in accordance with a decided guard interval length without changing a frame length,
- wherein the guard interval length changer comprises a predetermined time calculator configured to calculate a predetermined period necessary for maintaining the frame length constant, in accordance with a current guard interval length and an in-frame transmission symbol number.
An OFDM transmitter which transmits an OFDM signal by a frame having a plurality of transmission symbol periods constituted of an effective symbol period for transmitting an information bit and a guard interval, the OFDM transmitter comprising:
- a guard interval length decider configured to decide a guard interval length in accordance with a feedback signal from an OFDM receiver;
- and
- a guard interval length changer configured to change a guard interval length in each transmission symbol period, in accordance with a decided guard interval length without changing a frame length,
- wherein the guard interval length changer includes
- a guard interval adder configured to add a guard interval having the decided guard interval length to the effective symbol period, in each transmission symbol period, and
- a predetermined period adder configured to add a predetermined period for fixing a frame length in the frame.
An OFDM transmitter which transmits an OFDM signal by a frame having a plurality of transmission symbol periods constituted of an effective symbol period for transmitting an information bit and a guard interval, the OFDM transmitter comprising:
- a guard interval length decider configured to decide a guard interval length in accordance with a feedback signal from an OFDM receiver;
- and
- a guard interval length changer configured to change a guard interval length in each transmission symbol period, in accordance with a decided guard interval length without changing a frame length,
- wherein the guard interval length changer includes
- an Inverse Discrete Fourier transformer configure to execute IDFT processing for a symbol to which the information bit is mapped, by using a DFT point number calculated in accordance with the decided guard interval length, and
- a guard interval adder configured to add the guard interval having the decided guard interval length to the effective symbol period for transmitting the symbol subjected to the IDFT processing.
