Patent ID: 8705420

Claim:
A mobile station comprising: a cyclic prefix length determiner unit configured to determine a length of a cyclic prefix to be inserted in an uplink signal; and a cyclic prefix adder unit configured to generate the uplink signal by adding a cyclic prefix to any one of an inputted signal modulated by DFT-Spread OFDM (Single Carrier FDMA) scheme and an inputted signal modulated OFDM scheme, the cyclic prefix having the length determined by the cyclic prefix length determiner unit, wherein the cyclic prefix length determiner unit is configured to be capable of setting the length of the cyclic prefix to be inserted in the uplink signal independently of a length of a cyclic prefix inserted in a downlink signal, and wherein the cyclic prefix length determiner unit is configured to set the length of the cyclic prefix to be inserted in the uplink signal to a length specified in broadcast information transmitted by a radio base station, and the broadcast information comprises cell bandwidth, transmission antenna identification information, a system frame number (SFN), common channel information, and shared channel information.
