摘要:
Provided is a method of trasmitting/receiving an OFDM signal in which pilots are inserted, the pilots having a repeated pattern. The pilot pattern selects pilot symbol positions based on distances from pilots of previous orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbols to a subcarrier position of a current OFDMA symbol in the frequency domain and the time domain, so that a low pilot density is maintained so as to effectively transmit data, and stable channel estimation performance can be obtained even in a bad channel environment. In addition, the minimum burst allocation size is determined according to the channel environment between the base station and the terminal, guaranteeing channel estimation performance suitable for the channel environment, and improving granularity, channel estimation latency, and channel estimation memory size.

Provided are a beacon re-broadcasting apparatus, a beacon re-broadcasting method, and an initial access request method in a wireless network. In the re-broadcasting apparatus and method, a beacon frame including beacon information for communications in the wireless network and information on an echo beacon slot allocated for beacon re-broadcasting among time slots of a superframe is received from a management device for managing the wireless network in which a plurality of terminals communicated with each other through the superframe including time-divided time slots, and the beacon information is re-broadcasted during the echo beacon slot. Accordingly, the beacon information can be received in various environments, and the beacon information can be received to an adjacent network in addition to the corresponding network. Therefore, frequency resources can be shared and effectively used between networks, and convenience and efficiency in network operation can be maximized.
