- the FFT processing unit 312 is configured to collectively perform FFT on a frequency band that combines the donor-side frequency band B1 and the service-side frequency band B2 (that is, a frequency band that is twice the normal frequency band) (see FIG. 11).
- the wireless unit 320 includes a transmission unit 321 and a reception unit 322.
- the transmission unit 321 up-converts the donor side signal RS1 and the service side signal RS2 from the IFFT processing unit 311 to the RF band, amplifies them, and transmits them from the antenna ANT.
- the receiving unit 322 down-converts and amplifies the donor-side signal RS1 and the service-side signal RS2 received by the antenna ANT from the RF band to the BB band.
- the donor-side frequency band B1 (10 MHz) is determined.
- the donor frequency band B1 When the donor frequency band B1 is synchronized, the service frequency band B2 is also synchronized. For this reason, the donor-side signal RS1 (first subcarrier) and the service-side signal RS2 (second subcarrier) can be orthogonalized within the radio relay station 10A.
- the shift amount adjustment processing as in the first embodiment can be omitted, and the donor-side signal RS1 and the service-side signal RS2 that are orthogonal to each other can be transmitted and received from the beginning. Therefore, in addition to the effect obtained in the first embodiment, the effect of reducing the processing load on the radio relay station 10B can be obtained.
- the radio relay station 10A may omit the subsequent shift amount adjustment process and fix the shift amount.
- the IFFT is used for conversion from the frequency domain signal (subcarrier) to the time domain signal (donor side signal RS1 or service side signal RS2), and the time domain signal is used.
- An FFT is used for conversion from a (donor side signal RS1 or service side signal RS2) to a frequency domain signal (subcarrier).
- FFT discrete Fourier transform
- DFT discrete Fourier transform
- the wireless communication system 1 based on WiMAX (IEEE802.16) has been described.
- the wireless communication system is not limited to WiMAX, and may be any wireless communication system that employs the OFDM scheme. ), LTE (Long Term Evolution), and the like.
- the fixed type is described as the radio relay station 10A and the radio relay station 10B.
- the radio relay station 10A and the radio relay station 10B are not limited to the fixed type, but may be a mobile relay station mounted on a vehicle, for example.
