METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING A SIGNAL IN AN FFH-OFDM COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Prevent invention apparatus includes: a Fast Frequency Hopping unit for allocating input data to a number of selected sub-carriers from among a plurality of sub-carriers and for performing fast frequency hopping in accordance with a fast frequency hopping pattern to generate FFH signals, wherein one or more pieces of data comprise the input data and each of the one or more pieces of data is allocated to one of the selected sub-carriers; a FFT unit for performing FFT on FFH signals; a controller for inserting null data into remaining sub-carriers, the remaining sub-carriers comprising sub-carriers other than the selected sub-carriers; a first Inverse FFT unit for performing IFFT on both the selected sub-carriers comprising the input data and the remaining sub-carriers comprising the inserted null data to generate first IFFT signals; and a transmitter for transmitting the first IFFT signals.
