TRANSMITTER, TRANSMITTING METHOD, RECEIVER, AND RECEIVING METHOD FOR MC-CDMA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A reception step receives a multicarrier signal containing subcarriers on at least one of which, a synchronization signal is transmitted, multiplied only by a synchronization signal spreading code. A correlation detection step detects correlation values between the received multicarrier signal and replicas of the synchronization signal, and a timing detection step detects a FFT timing and a long code timing, according to the correlation values.
