Abstract

A transmitting apparatus includes: a frame generator configured to generate a frame including a plurality of OFDM symbols; and a signal processor configured to signal-process the generated frame, wherein the plurality of OFDM symbols are included in a bootstrap, a preamble including an L1 basic and an L1 detail, and a payload, and wherein the bootstrap includes information on an FFT size of the OFDM symbols included in the preamble, a length of a guard interval (GI) inserted in the preamble, and a pattern of a preamble pilot inserted in the preamble, and information on an L1 basic mode.

Claims (171)

1. A transmitting apparatus comprising:

at least on processor configured to:

generate a frame comprising a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols;

insert one or more pilots into the frame; and

insert one or more guard intervals (GIs) into the frame;

a transmitter configured to transmit a signal which is generated based on the frame,

wherein the generated frame comprises a bootstrap, a preamble and a payload,

wherein the payload comprises one or more subframes,

wherein a length of a guard interval (GI) inserted in the preamble is equal to a length of a GI inserted in a first subframe from among the one or more subframes, and

wherein a pilot density in the preamble is determined according to the length of the GI inserted in the preamble, the pilot density of the preamble being equal or greater than a pilot density in the first subframe.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bootstrap comprises information on a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) size of the one or more subframes, the length of the GI inserted in the preamble, and a pattern of a preamble pilot inserted in the preamble and an L1 basic mode, and

wherein the information on the L1 basic mode comprises information for providing certain robustness levels.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the information on the pattern of the preamble pilot comprises Dx information on the pattern of the preamble pilot, and

wherein a Dx of the pattern of a scattered pilot is determined as a Dx having the greatest density among Dxs of the pattern of the scattered pilot.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the Dx of the pattern of the preamble pilot is one of multiples of 3 and multiples of 4, and

wherein the Dx is a carrier index difference between adjacent carriers in which the preamble pilot or the scattered pilot is inserted.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the Dx is one of 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16.

6. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the information on the pattern of the preamble pilot comprises Dy information on the pattern of the preamble pilot, and

wherein the Dy is 1.

7. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the pattern of a scattered pilot is represented as shown in a table below according to the length of the GI inserted in the payload and the FFT size of the one or more subframes included in the payload
