  • Patent number: 9185713
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide an apparatus and a method for transmitting and receiving a random access channel (RACH) in a single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system. A frequency domain RACH signal may be mapped to a localized sub-frequency band of an entire frequency band available to the SC-FDMA system. A guard band including at least one sub carrier may be allocated between the RACH signal band and other channel signal bands. A guard time may be allocated between the RACE signal and other channel signals in the time domain. The RACH signal may include a short message including information related to a mobile station. The RACE signal may be detected in a frequency based method, a time based method or a sliding matched filter based method. Receiver complexity can be decreased if the RACH signal includes a CAZAC code sequence for a preamble. In such a case, a receive delay may be simply calculated and then adjusted more accurately.

  • Patent number: 7827466
    Abstract: A rate matching method is provided for a mobile communication system that performs an adjustment to a code rate based on an optimal level by puncturing or repetition to respective bit streams of transport channels. The rate matching method is preferably applicable to uplink and downlink rate matching for channel coding including turbo coding, convolutional coding and the like. The rate matching method for uplink can include executing coding for bits of a transport channel, and branching off the bits into a plurality of sequences, constructing a first interleaving pattern for the plurality of sequences, constructing a virtual interleaving pattern for at least one sequence based on a mapping rule with a corresponding first interleaving pattern and calculating different bit shifting values in each column of each virtual interleaving pattern. Then, a bit position to be punctured is determined in each constructed virtual interleaving pattern using the calculated bit shifting values.

  • Patent number: 7388856
    Abstract: A TFCI transmission scheme using optimal TFCI transmission bit patterns for the DPCH and DSCH in the hard split mode of the W-CDMA standard. The DPCH TFCI bits (TFCI1) and the DSCH TFCI bits (TFCI2) are mapped to their corresponding bit positions and then transmitted such that TFCI code word errors are minimized and communication reliability is improved. When the TFCI1 to TFCI2 ratio is 5:5, the TFCI transmission bit pattern has alternating TFCI1 and TFCI2 bits. For other ratios, such as 1:9, 2:8, 3:7, and 4:6, the bit patterns are obtained by considering situations where the number of TFCI bits is 6 or 7, while bit patterns for respective conjugate ratios (9:1, 8:2, 7:3, and 6:4) are obtained by reversing all 0 and 1 bits of the previously obtained bit pattern for that ratio.

  • Patent number: 7340498
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for determining a fixed point in a mobile communication system are disclosed. An initial fixed point is set through simulation and a saturation for an output of a target device is compared with a reference saturation. Then, the position of the initial fixed point is adaptively changed according to the change in the output range of the target device. Therefore, when a floating point is converted into a fixed point, the performance of the system can be improved while the complexity of the hardware can be reduced.
