Patent ID: 8644403

Claim:
A method of generating an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for transmission from a non-reference transceiver to a user equipment in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: ascertaining a general timing for transmission of OFDM symbols, wherein the general timing is associated with a reference transceiver; ascertaining a user equipment timing relative to the general timing; adjusting an initial resource element value by a pre-compensating amount to obtain a pre-compensated resource element value, wherein the pre-compensating amount is based on the user equipment timing relative to the general timing; supplying the pre-compensated resource element value as one of a plurality of values to be transmitted; performing an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) on the plurality of values to be transmitted to obtain pre-compensated initial signal information; and appending a cyclic prefix to the pre-compensated initial signal information to form an OFDM symbol for transmission from the non-reference transceiver to the user equipment.
