Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmitting apparatus (82) for transmitting signals in a multi carrier system on the basis of a frame structure, each frame comprising at least one signalling pattern and one or more data patterns, said transmitting apparatus (82) comprising frame forming means (59) adapted to arrange first signalling data in said at least one signalling pattern in a frame, and adapted to arrange data in said one or more data patterns in a frame, whereby the data of said one or more data patterns are arranged in data frames, each data frame comprising second signalling data and content data, transforming means (60) adapted to transform said at least one signalling pattern and said one or more data patterns from the frequency domain into the time domain in order to generate a time domain transmission signal, and transmitting means (61) adapted to transmit said time domain transmission signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmitting apparatus (54) for transmitting signals in a multi carrier system on the basis of a frame structure, each frame comprising at least one signalling pattern and one or more data patterns, said transmitting apparatus comprising frame forming means (59) adapted to arrange signalling data in said at least one signalling pattern in a frame, and to arrange data and at least one pilot signal in said one or more data patterns in a frame, whereby the length of each of said one or more data patterns in the frequency direction is equal to or a multiple of a minimum data pattern length, transforming means (60) adapted to transform said at least one signalling pattern and said one or more data patterns from the frequency domain into the time domain in order to generate a time domain transmission signal, and transmitting means (61) adapted to transmit said time domain transmission signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmitting apparatus (54) for transmitting signals in a multi carrier system on the basis of a frame structure, each frame comprising at least two signaling patterns adjacent to each other in the frequency direction and at least one data pattern, said transmitting apparatus comprising frame forming means (59) adapted to arrange signaling data and pilot signals in each of said at least two signaling patterns in a frame, each signaling pattern having the same length, and to arrange data on frequency carriers of said at least one data pattern in a frame, transforming means (60) adapted to transform said signaling patterns and said data patterns from the frequency domain into the time domain in order to generate a time domain transmission signal, and transmitting means (61) adapted to transmit said time domain transmission signal.
