| 20090201797 | RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, RECEIVER, RECEIVING METHOD, TRANSMITTER, TRANSMITTING METHOD, AND DEVICE FOR AND METHOD OF CALCULATING DELAY TIMES FOR MULTI-CARRIER TRANSMISSION - Multi-carrier transmission is performed without inserting a repetitive signal into guard interval periods. A transmitter provides guard interval periods by using a null signal to save transmission power and prevent the deterioration of the SN ratio. Delayed waves at the head of each received symbol cause high-frequency waves to occur and carriers to interfere with one another. Accordingly, a receiver adds a component following each received symbol to a delayed-wave component at the head of the received symbol. As a result, the delayed-wave component at the head of the received symbol and the added component become continuous in wave form and subcarriers do not interfere with each other. | 08-13-2009 |
