Abstract

A radio receiver apparatus that can effectively utilize GI to improve the reception quality. In this apparatus, a data extracting part ( 104 ) extracts a data portion of a direct wave from a signal subjected to a radio reception process by a received RF part ( 102 ). A GI extracting part ( 107 ) extracts, from the signal subjected to the radio reception process by the received RF part ( 102 ), GI having a length determined by an extracted GI length deciding part ( 106 ). The extracted GI is adjusted by a data position adjusting part ( 108 ) such that its rear end coincides with the read end of the extracted data portion. A combining part ( 109 ) combines the extracted data portion with the GI the data position of which has been adjusted. The combined signal is then supplied to a frequency axis equalizing part ( 110 ), which equalizes the signal distortions of the combined signal on the frequency axis.

Claims (9)

1. A radio transmitting apparatus that is configured to transmit, in a single carrier transmission system, a plurality of data symbols that are included in a data part and arranged between a front end and a rear end of the data part, the radio transmitting apparatus comprising:

an arranging section that is configured to arrange the plurality of data symbols to map at least one data symbol including ACK/NACK information from the rear end of the data part; and

a transmitting section that is configured to transmit, during a cyclic prefix period, one or more data symbols including data that is the same as data included in a portion of the plurality of data symbols, the portion ranging from the rear end of the data part and corresponding to the cyclic prefix period to thereby contain said at least one data symbol including ACK/NACK information, the transmitting section being further configured to transmit the plurality of data symbols in the data part after the cyclic prefix period;

to thereby transmit, during the cyclic prefix period, said one or more data symbols including data that is the same as data included in the portion containing said at least one data symbol including ACK/NACK information, and to transmit, during transmission of the portion, said at least one data symbol including ACK/NACK information, such that ACK/NACK information is transmitted twice by the radio transmitting apparatus within a combination including a data part and a cyclic prefix period that precedes the data part.

2. A radio transmitting method for transmitting, in a single carrier transmission system, a plurality of data symbols that are included in a data part and arranged between a front end and a rear end of the data part, the radio transmitting method comprising:

arranging the plurality of data symbols to map at least one data symbol including ACK/NACK information from the rear end of the data part;

transmitting by a transmitter, during a cyclic prefix period, one or more data symbols including data that is the same as data included in a portion of the plurality of data symbols, the portion ranging from the rear end of the data part and corresponding to the cyclic prefix period to thereby contain said at least one data symbol including ACK/NACK information; and

transmitting by the transmitter the plurality of data symbols in the data part after the cyclic prefix period,

to thereby transmit, during the cyclic prefix period, said one or more data symbols including data that is the same as data included in the portion containing said at least one data symbol including ACK/NACK information, and to transmit, during transmission of the portion, said at least one data symbol including ACK/NACK information, such that ACK/NACK information is transmitted twice by the transmitter within a combination including a data part and a cyclic prefix period that precedes the data part.
