Abstract

A radio communication method according to an embodiment is a radio communication method for transmitting a signal from a transmitter to a receiver using a single carrier, in which the transmitter generates two or more training signals using a symmetric subcarrier at the time of training to perform an OFDM modulation, and shapes a spectrum of each of the OFDM-modulated training signals to be close to a single carrier spectrum, and in which the receiver adjusts the timing of two or more training signals, using a single carrier time domain correlation sequence at the time of training, estimates a channel response and an IQ imbalance from the two or more training signals whose timing is adjusted, compensates for the estimated IQ imbalance, and demodulates the compensated signal.

Claims (29)

1 . A radio communication method for transmitting a signal from a transmitter to a receiver using a single carrier,

the transmitter

generating two or more training signals using a symmetric subcarrier at a time of training to perform an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation, and

shaping a spectrum of each of the OFDM-modulated training signals to be close to a single carrier spectrum, and

the receiver

adjusting timing of the two or more training signals, using a single carrier time domain correlation sequence at the time of training,

estimating a channel response and an in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) (IQ) imbalance from the two or more training signals whose timing is adjusted,

compensating for the estimated IQ imbalance, and

demodulating the compensated signal.

2 . The radio communication method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing an inverse Fourier fast transformation on the two or more training signals.

3 . The radio communication method of claim 2 , further comprising:

copying the two or more training signals.

4 . The radio communication method of claim 2 , further comprising:

copying the two or more training signals and adding a guard interval.

5 . The radio communication method of claim 4 , further comprising:

performing digital to analog conversion of the two or more training signals.

6 . A receiver which receives a signal from a transmitter using a single carrier, comprising:

timing adjusting circuitry configured to adjust timing of two or more training signals using a single carrier time domain correlation sequence at the time of training;

estimating circuitry configured to estimate a channel response and an IQ imbalance from the two or more training signals whose timing is adjusted by the timing adjusting circuitry;

compensating circuitry configured to compensate for the IQ imbalance estimated by the estimating circuitry; and

demodulating circuitry configured to demodulate a signal compensated by the compensating circuitry.

7 . The receiver of claim 6 , further comprising:

noise estimating circuitry configured to estimate noise in a time domain.

8 . The receiver of claim 6 , further comprising:

equalization circuitry configured to perform frequency domain equalization.

9 . The receiver of claim 7 , further comprising:

equalization circuitry configured to perform frequency domain equalization using an output from the noise estimating circuitry.

10 . The receiver of claim 6 , wherein the demodulating circuitry performs a bit recovery.
