A guard section length detection method detects whether a preamble signal is received. A short preamble boundary is then detected, then detecting a frame boundary and detecting a guard section length. In the step of detecting the guard section length a second matched filter capable of processing 128 point data sets is detected. Four different 128 point data sets have a distance of 8 points, 16 points, 32 points, and 64 points respectively from the frame boundary to the second matched filter. Four signal correlation values are calculated for determining the guard section length.

Guard section length detection method and system

A guard section length detection method is disclosed. In the method, a guard section length detection method is used in an OFDM system. The OFDM symbol includes a data interval having a first length, and a guard section having a guard section length. The method detects a first symbol boundary and a second symbol boundary, and determines the guard section length based on a length between the first symbol boundary and the second symbol boundary.

A hybrid beamforming apparatus and method are proposed for a communication system. The hybrid beamforming apparatus includes a plurality of antennas, a plurality of FFT, a plurality of hybrid weight-coefficient generators and a plurality of adders. In each of the hybrid weight-coefficient generators, the weight coefficient for each subcarrier is calculated by a time-domain correlation matrix and a cross-correlation vector, which is calculated by a frequency domain signal and a training signal. The hybrid beamforming apparatus and method according to the present invention can enhance immunity for multipath effect with lower system complexity.
