Abstract
An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a pilot pattern set to distinguish a base station in an FDM communication system. The method divides a total frequency bandwidth into at least two sub-bandwidths including a plurality of sub-carriers in an OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) mobile communication system, configures a single frame cell (FC) using one sub-bandwidth from among the sub-bandwidths and a plurality of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol intervals, and assigns a pilot signal to a time-frequency cell comprised of at least one OFDM symbol and at least one sub-carrier within the FC. The method includes the steps of spreading a pilot signal and a data signal using different orthogonal codes, synthesizing the spread pilot and data signals, and performing a CDM (Code Division Multiplexing) process; and mapping the CDM-processed pilot and data signals to a predetermined time-frequency cell in the FC.
