Patent ID: 7301890

Claim:
A transmission apparatus in a mobile communication system, which modulates input data with a specific size into an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol and transmits the OFDM symbol through at least two antennas, the apparatus comprising: a replica generator for generating replica data by cyclically-circulating the input data; an encoder for generating a first antenna signal and a second antenna signal by encoding the input data and the replica data; a first IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) block for generating a first OFDM symbol by performing IFFT on the first antenna signal; a second IFFT block for generating a second OFDM symbol by performing IFFT on the second antenna signal; a first antenna for transmitting the first OFDM symbol; and a second antenna for transmitting the second OFDM symbol.
