FILTERBANK-BASED MULTICARRIER TRANSMITTER FOR TRANSMITTING A MULTICARRIER SIGNAL

摘要

The invention relates to a filterbank-based multicarrier transmitter (100) for transmitting a multicarrier signal, the multicarrier signal comprising a synchronization part and a payload part, the synchronization part comprising K1 frequency sub-channels, the payload part comprising K2 frequency sub-channels, the K1 frequency sub-channels of the synchronization part being arranged to form M subsequent multicarrier symbols, the filterbank-based multicarrier transmitter (100) comprising a processor (101) being configured to assign subsequent pilot values of a pilot sequence to every Pth frequency sub-channel of the K1 frequency sub-channels of the synchronization part to obtain a pilot symbol of the multicarrier signal, and to assign subsequent payload values of a payload sequence to subsequent frequency sub-channels of the K2 frequency sub-channels of the payload part to obtain a payload symbol of the multicarrier signal, wherein P is greaterthan 1, and wherein the processor (101) is configured to assign subsequent groups of subsequent pilot values to every Qth symbol of the M multicarrier symbols, wherein Q is equal to or greater than 1.
