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 comprisingframe 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. The present invention further relates to a corresponding transmitting method and a frame structure as well as a receiving apparatus and method, as well as a transmitting and receiving system and method.
