Method and apparatus for transmitting data in a communication system

摘要

A method and apparatus for transmitting data in a communication system. In the apparatus, a repeater repeatedly processes an input signal a predetermined number of times. A Space-Frequency Block-Coded (SFBC) encoder performs SFBC coding on the repeatedly processed input signals, and outputs at least two signal blocks in parallel. A cyclic prefix (CP) inserter inserts a CP in the signal blocks and transmits the CP-inserted signal blocks via associated transmission antennas using a single carrier.
