Abstract

The base station transmits a synchronization signal that contains a pattern of repeated SYNC's generated by dividing FFT size by N wherein the pattern of repeated SYNC's is inverted in polarity for each of the SYNC's according to a code outputted from a code generating circuit. CP length is M/N of FFT size, and the number of divisions (M+N) of a symbol of the synchronization signal is brought into agreement with the code length L of Barker code. The mobile station detects the synchronization signal by using a first matched filter that has as many taps as (FFT size/N) stages, and uses a pattern of SYNC's generated by dividing FFT size by N as a tap coefficient, and a second matched filter that has as many taps as (M+N) stages and uses Barker code as a tap coefficient.

Claims (24)

1. A radio base station comprising:

a coding part that performs error correction coding for transmission data;

a modulation part that modulates coded data;

a synchronization signal generating part that generates synchronization data;

a multiplexing part that multiplexes modulation data and the synchronization data;

a reverse Fourier transform part that subjects multiple data to reverse Fourier transform; and

a cyclic prefix(CP) adding part that adds a guard interval to a reverse Fourier signal,

wherein the radio base station further includes a polarity inverting part that performs polarity inversion for some of CP added data,

the synchronization data subjected to reverse Fourier transform contains a pattern of repeated SYNC's the length of each of which is one-Nth, wherein N is a positive integer of Fast Fourier Transform size, wherein FFT size is a power of two,

the CP adding part adds to the beginning of the guard interval, the last M/N SYNC' repetition of the pattern of repeated Sync's, where M is a positive integer and less than N

the polarity inverting part performs polarity inversion in units of the repeated SYNC's.

2. The radio base station according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polarity inverting part performs polarity inversion, based on Barker code of code length (N+M).

3. The radio base station according to claim 1 ,

wherein the synchronization signal generating part inserts an effective sub-carrier signal every Nth piece of SYNC data and inserts “0” in other cases.

4. The radio base station according to claim 2 ,

wherein the synchronization signal generating part inserts an effective sub-carrier signal every Nth piece of SYNC and inserts “0” in other cases.

5. A radio mobile station comprising:

a synchronization part that extracts frame timing and symbol timing from receive data;

a Fourier transform part that subjects the receive data to Fourier transform, based on the symbol timing;

a demodulation part that demodulates a Fourier transform signal; and

a decoding part that decodes a demodulation signal,

wherein the synchronization part includes a first matched filter that has as many taps as a Fast Fourier transform size/N stages and uses a pattern of SYNC's generated by dividing FFT size by N as a tap coefficient, and a second matched filter that has as many taps as M+N stages and uses Barker code of code length (M+N) as a tap coefficient, wherein the FFT size is a power of two; N is a positive integer; M is a positive integer less than N, and

the radio mobile station inputs output of the first matched filter to the second matched filter.
