Abstract:
Provided is a method of efficiently transmitting an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) bit supporting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) in a wireless communication system supporting multi-user multi-input and multi-output (MIMO). The method transmits the same downlink code and in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) multiplexed ACK/NACK bit to two mobile stations using the same uplink resource block. Accordingly, the method can efficiently transmit the ACK/NACK bit for multi-user MIMO and efficiently use downlink radio resources.
Abstract:
In a cellular system in which OFDM is used, a forward link synchronization channel, a common pilot channel structure, an initial cell searching method of a mobile station, and an adjacent cell searching method for handover are required. A method of transmitting a forward synchronization signal in a wireless communication system according to the present invention includes generating a frame comprised of a plurality of sync blocks; and transmitting the frame through a forward link, wherein the frame comprises primary synchronization channel sequences which provide timing information of the sync blocks and a plurality of secondary synchronization channel sequences which provide timing information of the frame, wherein a cell identifier is specified by a combination of the primary synchronization channel sequence and a hopping code word specified by the plurality of the secondary synchronization channel sequences Therefore, the cell searching time can be efficiently reduced in an OFDM system.
Abstract:
Provided are a sync channel of a forward link, a common pilot channel structure, and an initial cell search method and an adjacent cell search method for handover in a cellular system using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). A cell search method in an OFDM cellular system in which a primary sync channel and a secondary sync channel are configured based on time division multiplexing (TDM) includes acquiring sync block synchronization and a primary sync channel sequence number using a primary sync channel symbol included in a frame received by a terminal, detecting a boundary of the frame and a scrambling code group using the sync block and a secondary sync channel symbol included in the frame received by the terminal, and acquiring a scrambling code using the primary sync channel sequence number and the scrambling code group, thereby reducing cell search time with low complexity.
