  • Patent number: 8374281
    Abstract: A method for establishing a cyclic shift sequence to provide against the frequency offset is disclosed. The method calculates a distance between a channel response position of the sequence and an alias channel response position caused by a frequency offset, calculates the number of cyclic shifts per group according to the calculated distance, and establishes the cyclic shift (CS)—applying interval. This method easily establishes a cyclic shift (CS) interval at a specific location having no overlapping by considering a channel response of a reception (Rx) sequence and an alias location of this reception (Rx) sequence, although a reception (Rx) signal is shifted by a channel delay spreading or a propagation delay irrespective of categories of a domain generating a sequence, so that it can greatly reduce the number of the detection errors and the false alarm rate.

  • Patent number: 8363692
    Abstract: A method for generating a set of at least two sequences is provided. This method selects at least one sequence from each of at least two sequences based on different lengths, including first and second types of sequences, and generates a set of at least two sequences using the selected sequences. Another method selects at least one sequence from a first type of sequences and at least one sequence from a second type of sequences generated by modulating the first type of sequences using a different type of sequences, and generates the set of at least two sequences using the selected sequences. To generate sequences based on a length corresponding to available subcarriers excluding a DC subcarrier, another method generates sequences such that the sequences are continuously arranged in a region excluding the DC subcarrier using frequency-domain cyclic shift while none of the sequences is allocated to the DC subcarrier.
