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 RACH 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 RACH 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.

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.
