Patent ID: 8009553

Claim:
A signal generating apparatus adapted for outputting a multicarrier signal in which data are multiplexed with respect to a plurality of subcarriers, comprising: a data symbol information generator for generating, as resource assignment information, information indicating E subcarriers assigned within all F subcarriers which are equal to the number of points of inverse Fourier transform, F being an integer equal to 2 or more, and E being an integer equal to F or less; a phase rotation sequence generator for receiving, as an input, the resource assignment information to extract, from the resource assignment information, the number E of the assigned subcarriers to generate first to N-th phase rotation sequences each of which includes E phase rotation coefficients, N being an integer equal to 2 or more; a data sequence generator for receiving, as an input, the resource assignment information to extract, from the resource assignment information, the number E of the assigned subcarriers to generate one data symbol sequence including E data symbols; a rotation sequence selection signal generator for receiving, as inputs, the first to the N-th phase rotation sequences, the data symbol sequence and the resource assignment information to generate, respectively in correspondence with the first to the N-th phase rotation sequences, the first to the N-th rotation sequence selection signal sequences on a time axis each of which includes G samples, G being a natural number less than F; and a minimum peak power signal generator for receiving, as inputs, the first to the N-th rotation sequence selection signal sequences, the first to the N-th phase rotation sequences, the data symbol sequence and the resource assignment information to select, as an optimum rotation sequence selection signal sequence, a rotation sequence selection signal sequence of which peak power becomes minimum among the first to the N-th rotation sequence selection signal sequences, and generating a transmission signal on the time axis including F samples by using the phase rotation sequence corresponding to the optimum rotation sequence selection signal sequence, the data symbol sequence and the resource assignment information.
