Abstract:
A transmission method performed by a mobile station for random access channel (RACH) burst transmission diversity gain is provided. According to the method, a variety of combinations of a time switching transmit diversity (TSTD) technique, a frequency hopping technique, and a power ramping technique that are robust against fading channel environments are applied to transmission of an RACH burst, thereby increasing the probability of detecting an RACH signature of a base station. Also, by using the transmission parameters (subband frequencies, transmission antennas, power, etc.) which are used for successful transmission of an RACH burst, for transmission of a successive user packet data, reliable transmission of the successive user packet data can be performed.
Abstract:
A transmission method performed by a mobile station for random access channel (RACH) burst transmission diversity gain is provided. According to the method, by combining and using switching diversity by beam forming, frequency hopping, and power ramping, the probability that when the speed of a mobile station is low, the mobile station falls into a deep fading environment is lowered, thereby increasing the probability of detecting an RACH signature of the base station. Also, by using the transmission parameters (subbands, precoding matrixes, power, etc.) which are used for successful transmission of an RACH burst, for transmission of a successive user packet data, reliable transmission of the successive user packet data can be performed.
