摘要:
The present invention relates to a symbol-wise beamforming apparatus and method in an OFDM communication system using multiple antennas. A weight vector calculator calculates a transmit weight vector using a signal received through the multiple antennas as an input on the basis of channel information in the time domain and covariance matrix information about interference and noise and computes a receive weight vector using the calculated transmit weight vector. At least one of the calculated transmit weight vector and receive weight vector is transmitted to a transmission apparatus through a transmitter.

There is provided a multiple antenna system which forms optimal beam patterns through a transmission of a training sequence between a transmitter and a receiver, each including a plurality of antennas, the multiple antenna system comprising: a transmitter selecting antennas to be activated according to a level and transmitting the training sequence to a receiver through the selected antennas; a receiver selecting the antennas to be activated according to the level and transmitting to the transmitter an index of an optimal transmission weight vector significantly reducing a cost function based on the training sequence transmitted from the transmitter, wherein the transmitter selects antennas so that the beam patterns formed by the antennas selected at a q-th level (q: the index of the level) include the beam patterns formed by the antennas selected at a q+1-th level. As a result, the transmission frequency of the training sequence may be reduced.

There are provided an apparatus and a method for reducing a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) through the recombination of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. The apparatus includes an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transforming unit, a peak power measuring unit, and an OFDM symbol selecting unit, wherein the OFDM symbol transforming unit generates the plurality of OFDM symbols by (a) performing a process of rotating the OFDM symbol by a predetermined angle in a complex plane and performing cyclical shifting with respect to the rotated OFDM symbol and (b) repetitively performing process (a) with respect to the cyclically shifted OFDM symbol. Therefore, diversity is secured, whereby the PAPR may be reduced.
