Abstract

A transmitter includes an amplitude adjustment unit multiplying an amplitude adjustment sequence value for adjusting amplitude with a synchronization channel transmitted from a base station for establishing synchronization with a mobile station.

Claims (12)

1. A transmitter comprising:

a generation unit generating a frame including a plurality of OFDM symbols; and

a transmission unit transmitting the generated frame, wherein

the generation unit arranges a primary synchronization channel for detecting a symbol timing at an end OFDM symbol of the frame and a secondary synchronization channel for detecting a reception frame at an OFDM symbol preceding the end OFDM symbol, and

the generation unit further applies any of specified different cyclic prefix lengths to arrange a cyclic prefix at each of the plurality of OFDM symbols.

2. The transmitter as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the generation unit applies a longer cyclic prefix length for a multicast OFDM symbol than for a unicast OFDM symbol.

3. A transmitting method comprising:

generating a frame including a plurality of OFDM symbols; and

transmitting the generated frame, wherein

the step of generating comprises arranging a primary synchronization channel for detecting a symbol timing at an end OFDM symbol of the frame and a secondary synchronization channel for detecting a reception frame at an OFDM symbol preceding the end OFDM symbol, and

the step of generating further comprises applying any of specified different cyclic prefix lengths to arrange a cyclic prefix at each of the plurality of OFDM symbols.

4. The transmitting method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the step of generating comprises applying a longer cyclic prefix length for a multicast OFDM symbol than for a unicast OFDM symbol.
