Abstract:
1. A receiver of a wireless communication system, the receiver comprising: antennas configured to receive, through each of respective paths, data comprising a preamble, a header, and a payload; a synchronizer configured to perform time synchronization of the data of each of the paths based on the preamble of the data of each of the paths; a header detector configured to detect the header of the data of each of the paths; a surviving path selector configured to select a surviving path from the paths based on the header or the preamble of the data of each of the paths; and a combiner configured to combine the data of the surviving path to demodulate the payload of the data of the surviving path, wherein the surviving path selector is further configured to select, from the paths, surviving paths corresponding to the same headers, among headers of the respective paths, in response to a number of the same headers being relatively greater than a number of remaining headers, among the headers.
