APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING SIDE INFORMATION OF A PARTIAL TRANSMIT SEQUENCE IN AN OFDM COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication system that multiplexes data with a plurality of orthogonal sub-carrier frequencies, which includes a transmitter for converting a serial data stream into parallel data, and segmenting the parallel data into a plurality of blocks having a plurality of data blocks; inserting reference data having information representing a phase value and a position into which the reference symbol is inserted, into each of the segmented blocks; Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT)-transforming the respective blocks into time-based signals where sub-carrier frequencies are separately assigned to the data blocks; and determining phase factors of the IFFT-transformed time-based signals to reduce a Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) where non-linear distortion occurs due to coincidence of phases of the data blocks IFFT-transformed with the sub-carrier frequencies, and phase-rotating the IFFT-transformed signals according to the determined phase factors before transmission.
