Abstract
A base station for transmitting a synchronization signal from N transmission antennas (N>=2) in orthogonal frequency division multiple access includes a signal sequence generation unit configured to generate a synchronization signal sequence to be used for the synchronization signal in a frequency domain; a subcarrier mapping unit configured to divide a transmission band of the synchronization signal into K frequency blocks (K>=2) and map the synchronization signal sequence into one or more subcarriers in the K frequency blocks; a precoding unit configured to generate N precoding vectors to be multiplied by the synchronization signal sequence in the frequency domain and multiply the synchronization signal sequence to be transmitted from an n-th antenna (1<=n<=N) by at least an n-th precoding vector; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the synchronization signal from the N transmission antennas.
