Patent ID: 8055224

Claim:
A wireless receiver for receiving a signal from a wireless transmitter including a plurality of transmission antennas in a transmission system in which scheduling of users is performed on a per-chunk basis where a region defined in a frequency domain and in a time domain is divided into chunks in the frequency domain and in the time domain, the wireless receiver comprising: a reception unit configured to, in the case in which the frequency bandwidth of the chunk is Fc, receive a) data to which phase rotation for controlling the maximum delay time between the plurality of transmission antennas is added so that the maximum delay time is set to either a predetermined first value which is smaller than 1/Fc or a predetermined second value which is larger than 1/Fc depending on whether transmission is performed using frequency diversity or transmission is performed using multi-user diversity and b) pilot channels corresponding to the plurality of transmission antennas which are orthogonal to each other; and a demodulating unit configured to demodulate the data based on transfer functions calculated using the pilot channels.
