Transmission/reception apparatus and method for supporting both high rate packet data transmission and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing transmission in a mobile communication system

摘要

A transmission apparatus for transmitting packet data in a forward link of a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) system is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first transmission processor for modulating physical link packet data according to an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission scheme; a second transmission processor for modulating the physical link packet data according to a Evolution Data Only (EV-DO) transmission scheme; an HRPD-compatible processor for generating a transmission signal based on a slot structure of the HRPD system using one of output signals of the first and second transmission processors, and transmitting the transmission signal to a wireless network; and a controller for controlling transmission of the transmission signal according to a selected one of the OFDM transmission scheme and the EV-DO transmission scheme.
