  • Patent number: 8989327
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting or detecting primary synchronization signal. The receiver receives primary synchronization signal from a transmitter, and detects the sequence used in the received primary synchronization signal by using three root indexes. Here, the primary synchronization signal is generated by using a Zadoff-Chu sequence having one of the three root indexes. The three root indexes comprise a first index and a second index, and a sum of the first index and the second index corresponds to the length of the Zadoff-Chu sequence.

  • Patent number: 8958409
    Abstract: A method for transmitting an information unit of a specific layer above a physical layer through a plurality of frequency allocation bands managed by the specific layer and transmitting control information identifying each of the plurality of frequency allocation bands. The control information includes a second ID into which a first ID has been converted, the first ID identifying each of the plurality of frequency allocation bands in the physical layer, the second ID identifying each of the plurality of frequency allocation bands managed by the specific layer in the specific layer. To accomplish this, a timing offset is applied to the entirety of a frame or to a preamble (synchronous channel) so that the timing offset is used as the ID. Applying a timing offset to the entirety of a frame or to a preamble (synchronous channel) can achieve an advantage of PAPR reduction.

  • Patent number: 8948294
    Abstract: Present document is related with communication of synchronization signals between base station and terminal. The base station acquires a primary synchronization signal generated using a Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation (CAZAC) sequence having a root index M and having a length L, and a secondary synchronization signal informing a cell group ID. And, the base station transmits the primary synchronization signal at a last symbol of a specific time domain unit to one or more terminals, and the secondary synchronization signal at a second-to-last symbol of the specific time domain unit to the one or more terminals. Here, the root index M is one among a root index set comprising m0 and m1 meeting “m0+m1=(½*L)*n” or “m0?m1=±(½*L)*n”, where ‘n’ is an integer greater than 0.

In the case of transmission information, the information is modulated in time and frequency domains on the basis of a predetermined transmission unit (e.g., a transmission time interval TTI or slot), simultaneous transmission of the information is made, and then a transmission unit symbol is generated/transmitted. A transmission sequence is masked in each symbol contained in one transmission unit. Symbol-unit circular shift (cyclic shift) is applied to the masked result, so that transmission efficiency increases. A control signal transmission method for supporting a variety of formats and a signal transmission method based on a prime-length sequence are also provided.
