- Abstract
- The present invention relates to a demodulating device and method in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) communication system. A demodulating device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention uses only one demodulator, one slot buffer, and one channel decoder to demodulate a plurality of data bursts included in one frame. In addition, in order to reduce a memory size required to demodulate a plurality of data bursts, a memory is managed in the units of sub-channels, instead of classifying memory cells so as to correspond to the data bursts. According to the demodulating device, it is possible to simplify a hardware structure and to reduce a memory size required to demodulate data bursts. As a result, it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs and decrease the number of signal lines of a channel decoder required for an interface.
