<p>The present invention relates to a bandwidth asymmetric communication system comprising at least one terminal having an uplink transmission unit (1) for transmitting radio frequency OFDM signals at a radio frequency and an access point having an uplink receiving unit (4) for receiving said radio frequency OFDM signals, said OFDM signals being Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) modulated. To reduce the implementation complexity and synchronization requirements a communication system is proposed in which the bandwidth of said uplink transmission unit and of the transmitted radio frequency OFDM signals is smaller than the bandwidth of said uplink receiving unit. Further, a communication system is proposed in which the bandwidth of a downlink transmission unit (7) of the access point is larger than the bandwidth of a downlink receiving unit (11) of the at least one terminal and in which the downlink transmission unit is adapted to generate and transmit radio frequency OFDM signals having a bandwidth that is smaller than the bandwidth of the downlink transmission unit and that is equal to the bandwidth of the downlink receiving unit. Still further, the present invention relates to a communication method, to a terminal and to an access point for use in such a communication system.</p> |
