Transmission device, transmission method, receiving device and receiving method
Provided is control information related to polarizations of antennas for MISO communication. The control signal generator generates polarization information indicating whether antennas used for transmission by MISO have only a first polarization or have a second polarization as well as the first polarization. With this structure, the present invention allows for the use of combinations of SISO, MISO and MIMO, taking the polarization of antennas. Furthermore, the present invention enables the receiver to reduce the power consumption.
1. A transmitter comprising:
a transmitter that has an antenna; and
a processor that:
generates a frame such that the frame includes subframes arranged in a time axis, the subframes each consisting of OFDM symbols arranged in the time axis, each of the OFDM symbols being constituted by modulated signals that are arranged in a frequency axis;
inserts pilot signals in the modulated signals; and
performs Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation on the modulated signals to generate a time-domain transmission signal to be transmitted to a reception device via the antenna, wherein
each of the OFDM symbols is one of a subframe boundary symbol and a data symbol, the subframe boundary symbol being provided at a position of at least one of a head or a tail end of the OFDM symbols in the time axis, a density of pilot signals in the subframe boundary symbol being greater than a density of pilot signals in the data symbol.
2. The transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store a program, wherein
the processor is configured to execute the program.
3. The transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor generates the frame such that the frame includes signaling data followed by the subframes in the time axis.
