Patent ID: 11496345

Abstract:
A transmitter transmitting payload data using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbols, including: a frame builder configured to receive the payload data and to receive signalling data to use in detecting and recovering the payload data at a receiver, and to form the payload data with the signalling data into frames for transmission: a modulator configured to modulate a first OFDM symbol with the signalling data and to modulate one or more second OFDM symbols with the payload data; a signature sequence processor circuit providing a signature sequence; a combiner circuit combining the signature sequence with the first OFDM symbol; a prefixing circuit prefixing a guard interval to the first OFDM symbol to form a preamble; and a transmission circuit transmitting the preamble and the one or more second OFDM symbols. The guard interval is formed from time domain samples of a part of the signature sequence.
