Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a primary and secondary synchronization channel is provided herein. During operation a transmitter will transmit a primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) in a subframe and a secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH) in the subframe. The S-SCH is modulated by a complex exponential wave and scrambled with a scrambling code. In certain embodiments of the present invention the P-SCH comprises a GCL sequence or a Zadoff-Chu sequence and the scrambling code is based on the GCL sequence index of the P-SCH.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for transmitting an orthogonal frequency domain multiple access (OFDMA) signal including a synchronization channel signal transmitted within a localized portion of a bandwidth of the OFDMA signal (818), the synchronization channel signal having predetermined time domain symmetry within the localized portion of the bandwidth (816) and including information for providing at least partial cell identification information (812). The synchronization channel signal enables an initial acquisition and cell search method with low computational load which provides OFDMA symbol timing detection and frequency error detection (1112) and frame boundary detection and cell specific information detection (1114) in an OFDMA system supporting multiple system bandwidths, both synchronized and un-synchronized systems, a large cell index and an OFDMA symbol structure with both short and long cyclic prefix length.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for using both D-FDMA and L-FDMA within a same frequency band is provided herein. The proposed technique scatters the sub-carriers of each D-FDMA user to a frequency band utilized by L-FDMA communications without separating the total band into exclusive D-FDMA and L-FDMA sub-bands. The L-FDMA users are assigned to the gap of the D-FDMA sub-carriers. Therefore, frequency diversity gain of D-FDMA by the proposed method is larger than if D-FDMA and L-FDMA sub-bands were created.
Abstract:
Reference sequences are constructed from distinct "classes" of GCL sequences that have an optimal cyclic cross correlation property. The fast cell search method disclosed detects the "class indices" with simple processing. In a system deployment that uniquely maps sequences of certain class indices along with a circular shift amount in time domain to certain cells/cell IDs, the identification of a sequence index, and its circular shift will therefore provide an identification of the cell ID.

The synchronization channel signal enables an initial acquisition and cell search method with low computational load which provides OFDMA symbol timing detection and frequency error detection by differential processing of sequence elements of the synchronization channel signal (1112) and frame boundary detection and cell specific information detection (1114) in an OFDMA system supporting multiple system bandwidths, both synchronized and un-synchronized systems, a large cell index and an OFDMA symbol structure with both short and long cyclic prefix length.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for transmitting an orthogonal frequency domain multiple access (OFDMA) signal including a synchronization channel signal transmitted including a plurality of sequence elements intereleaved in time and frequency (610, 640). The synchronization channel signal sequence elements enable an initial acquisition and cell search method with low computational load by providing predetermined time domain symmetry (702, 704) for common sequence elements in OFDMA symbol periods (620, 660) for OFDMA symbol timing detection and frequency error detection in an OFDMA system supporting multiple system bandwidths, both synchronized and un-synchronized systems, a large cell index and an OFDMA symbol structure with both short and long cyclic prefix length.
Abstract:
To provide high-quality communication even when the power for synchronization preamble is reduced in an OFDM communication system, an OFDM communication transmitter obtains a zero amplitude reduced preamble signal by passing a specified synchronization preamble through an ideal low-pass filter (10) to reduce a signal component near zero amplitude within a time domain, and time-multiplexes (11) the obtained zero amplitude reduced preamble signal with transmit data to generate an OFDM transmit signal. A receiver section (20) of the OFDM communication system determines the cross correlation (19) between a receive signal and a specified synchronization preamble (17), which is patterned the same as the counterpart in a transmitter section of the OFDM communication system, and detects a synchronization position in accordance with the determined cross correlation.
