Abstract

In a CDMA protocol wireless telecommunication system that allows mixed use of single carrier terminals and multiple carrier terminals, a wireless telecommunication system that can improve the utilization efficiency of the frequencies is realized. A wireless base station, single carrier terminals, multiple carrier terminals are provided, and the frequency channels are formed by a plurality of time slots, and the base station sets a preamble signal that indicates the terminal allocated to a time slot. At the same time, preamble signals for a plurality of frequency channels are transmitted nonsimultaneously. The single carrier terminal receives the preamble signals by switching the plurality of frequency channels transmitted from the wireless base station, and detects the received time slots based on the received preamble signal.

Claims

1. A wireless telecommunication system comprising:

a wireless base station;

at least one first wireless communication terminal that delivers packets by using one frequency channel; and

at least one second wireless communication terminal that delivers packets by using a plurality of frequency channels simultaneously,

wherein the frequency channels are formed by a plurality of time slots;

the wireless base station sets a preamble signal in the time slots for indicating one of the terminals to which the time slots are allocated, and transmits nonsimultaneously the preamble signal for the plurality of frequency channels; and

the first wireless communication terminal receives the preamble signal by switching the plurality of frequency channels transmitted from the base station, and detects the time slot to be received based on the received preamble signal.

2. A wireless base station that transmits information to wireless communication terminals by using a plurality of frequency channels, the frequency channels being formed by a plurality of time slots, the wireless base station comprising:

an information setting unit that sets a preamble signal in the time slots for indicating the terminals to which the time slots are allocated; and

a transmission unit that transmits nonsimultaneously the preamble signal for the plurality of frequency channels.

3. A wireless communication terminal that can deliver packets by using one frequency channel, the frequency channel being formed by a plurality of time slots, a preamble signal in the time slots being set for indicating the terminals to which the time slots are allocated, the wireless communication terminal comprising:

a reception unit that receives the preamble signal by switching the plurality of frequency channels transmitted from the base station; and

a detection unit that detects the time slot to be received based on the received preamble signal.
