Patent ID: 8223856

Claim:
A radio communication system comprising: a transmission terminal transmitting transmission data identified as data to be transmitted, and a reception terminal receiving data transmitted by said transmission terminal, wherein said transmission terminal includes: an output unit dividing transmission data for output, a modulation unit modulating the data output from said output unit to a plurality of subcarriers, and a conversion unit converting the data modulated by said modulation unit to a temporal waveform of a multicarrier signal, said modulation unit adding a long training signal to each subcarrier a plurality of times, wherein said conversion unit combines a pilot signal to the data modulated by said modulation unit to generate said multicarrier signal, and said output unit divides said transmission data and copies said divided transmission data a predetermined number of times for output to said modulation unit such that a number of the divided transmission data, subsequent to being copied said predetermined number of times, is equal to a value of the number of said plurality of subcarriers minus a number of pilot signals combined to one said multicarrier signal.
