Radio communication system, radio communication device, radio communication method, and program

1. A radio communication system that includes a plurality of radio communication devices that transmit and receive a subframe as a unit, wherein each of said radio communication devices comprises:

a CP-addition unit that adds a cyclic prefix to the heads of effective symbols of each of the OFDM symbols that make up said subframe and adds a postfix to the tail of the effective symbol of the last OFDM symbol of said subframe; and

a CP-removal unit that removes cyclic prefixes from each of the OFDM symbols that make up said subframe received from another radio communication device, and for the last OFDM symbol of said subframe, subjects the head portion of the effective symbol to an averaging process with a postfix and then removes the postfix.

2. The radio communication system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein, when the effective symbol length of the last OFDM symbol of said subframe is 1/X (where X is an integer equal to or greater than 2), said CP-removal unit, for the last OFDM symbol, repeats X times the symbol in which the head portion of the effective symbol is subjected an averaging process with a postfix and in which the postfix is then removed.

3. The radio communication system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said CP-addition unit divides said subframe into a plurality of zones, defines a cyclic prefix length for each zone, and uses the identical cyclic prefix length in the same zones.

4. The radio communication system as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said CP-addition unit defines a cyclic prefix length for each subframe and then uses the same cyclic prefix length in the same subframes.

5. A radio communication device that carries out transmission and reception of a subframe as a unit, comprising:

a CP-addition unit that adds a cyclic prefix to the head of the effective symbol of each of the OFDM symbols that make up said subframe, and adds a postfix to the tail of the effective symbol of the last OFDM symbol of said subframe; and

a CP-removal unit that removes the cyclic prefix from each OFDM symbol that makes up said subframe received from another radio communication device, and for the last OFDM symbol of said subframe, subjects the head portion of the effective symbol to an averaging process with a postfix and then removes the postfix.

6. The radio communication device as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said CP-removal unit, when the effective symbol length of the last OFDM symbol of said subframe is 1/X (where X is an integer equal to or greater than 2), for the last OFDM symbol, repeats X times the symbol in which the head portion of the effective symbol is subjected an averaging process with a postfix and in which the postfix is then removed.

7. The radio communication device as set forth in claim 5 ; wherein said CP-addition unit divides said subframe into a plurality of zones, defines a cyclic prefix length for each zone, and uses the same cyclic prefix length in the same zones.

8. The radio communication device as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said CP-addition unit defines a cyclic prefix length for each subframe and uses the same cyclic prefix length in the same subframes.

9. A radio communication method realized by a radio communication device that transmits and receives a subframe as a unit, said radio communication method comprising:

a CP-addition step of adding a cyclic prefix to the head of the effective symbol of each OFDM symbol that makes up said subframe and of adding a postfix to the tail of the effective symbol of the last OFDM symbol of said subframe; and

a CP-removal step of removing the cyclic prefix from each OFDM symbol that makes up said subframe that is received from another radio communication device, and for the last OFDM symbol of said subframe, subjecting the head portion of the effective symbol to an averaging process with a postfix and then removing the postfix.

10. The radio communication method as set forth in claim 9 , wherein, in said CP-removal step, when the effective symbol length of the last OFDM symbol of said subframe is 1/X (where X is an integer equal to or greater than 2), for the last OFDM symbol, the symbol, in which the head portion of the effective symbol is subjected an averaging process with a postfix and in which the postfix is then removed, is repeated X times.

11. The radio communication method as set forth in claim 9 , wherein, in said CP-addition step, said subframe is divided into a plurality of zones, a cyclic prefix length is defined for each zone, and the same cyclic prefix length is used in the same zones.

12. The radio communication method as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said CP-addition step defines a cyclic prefix length for each subframe and uses the same cyclic prefix length in the same subframes.
