Abstract:
1. A receiver for use in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) based mobile communication system, comprising: a reception unit configured to receive multiple symbols in a predefined time frame, the symbols including a guard interval part and an effective symbol part; and a processing unit configured to process the received multiple symbols, wherein any of multiple sets of radio parameters is applied to the received multiple symbols, each of the sets of radio parameters specifying at least a subcarrier interval, a number of symbols in a single time frame and a period of the guard interval part, at least two of the sets of radio parameters applied to the received multiple symbols specify a common subcarrier interval and mutually different periods of the guard interval part and further specify the time frames to include mutually different numbers of symbols such that respective unit periods of the time frames are common.
