Multi-user receiving apparatus converting SC-FDMA received signals of all users to signals in a frequency domain commonly
First Claim
1. A multi-user receiving method in a base station with which a plurality of mobile stations each assigned to a respective user simultaneously communicate in accordance with a single-carrier frequency division multiple access scheme, said method comprising the steps of:
- converting SC-FDMA received signals of all users to signals in a frequency domain commonly;
selecting part of the sub-carriers for each user contained in the signals in a frequency domain; and
performing reception processing.

Abstract
A multi-user receiving apparatus is provided for achieving a reduction in the amount of processing for single-carrier FDMA signals and an improvement in reception characteristics. A DFT unit converts single-carrier FDMA received signals of all users to signals in a frequency domain commonly. A demapping unit selects part of sub-carriers for each user from sub-carriers supplied from the DFT unit. A reception filter separates a user signal and suppresses noise. A demodulator demodulates the user signal, and detects a timing thereof.

a DFT unit for converting SC-FDMA received signals of all users to signals in a frequency domain commonly;
a demapping unit for selecting part of the sub-carriers for each user contained in the signals in a frequency domain supplied from said DFT unit; and
a plurality of user receivers each associated with one of a plurality of users, and each including a reception filter for limiting the frequency band of each user signal, supplied from said demapping unit, to separate the user signal and to suppress noise, and a demodulator for demodulating the output of said reception filter and for detecting a reception timing to generate a timing control signal. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
