FILTERBANK-BASED MULTICARRIER TRANSMITTER FOR TRANSMITTING A MULTICARRIER SIGNAL

摘要

A filterbank-based multicarrier transmitter for transmitting a multicarrier signal is disclosed, the multicarrier signal comprising a synchronization part and a payload part, the synchronization part comprising K1 frequency sub-channels being arranged to form M subsequent multicarrier symbols, the payload part comprising K2 frequency sub-channels, the filterbank-based multicarrier transmitter comprising a processor being configured to assign subsequent pilot values of a pilot sequence to every P^th frequency sub-channel of the K1 frequency sub-channels 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 to obtain a payload symbol of the multicarrier signal, and wherein the processor is configured to assign subsequent groups of subsequent pilot values to every Q^th symbol of the M multicarrier symbols.
