BASE STATION

摘要

A base station for transmitting a synchronization signal on a synchronization channel with a system bandwidth which is less than the maximum system bandwidth in a radio communication system supporting multiple system bandwidths includes a multiplexing unit configured to multiplex the synchronization channel and a channel other than the synchronization channel based on a characteristic of a reception filter used in a mobile station. The multiplexing unit may place the synchronization channel and the channel other than the synchronization channel on continuous subcarriers. Alternatively, the multiplexing unit may assign a guard band or a cyclic prefix to a transition band of the reception filter.
