Apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a pilot signal for distinguishing a base station in a communication system using an OFDM scheme

摘要

A method for transmitting reference signals in a radio communication system in which a frequency band is divided into a plurality of sub-frequency bands. The reference signals are transmitted through at least one of the plurality of sub-frequency bands, and data signals are transmitted through the plurality of sub-frequency bands except for the at least one of the plurality of sub-frequency bands. The method includes the steps of: determining a reference signal pattern representing positions of the at least one of the plurality of sub-frequency bands through which the reference signals are transmitted in consideration of a preset time and a preset bandwidth; generating the reference signals using a PN code and a Walsh code; and transmitting the reference signals through the sub-frequency bands corresponding to the reference signal pattern.
