Abstract:
A cell searching method in a time-division multiplexing (TDM)-based Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) cellular system having a primary synchronization channel and secondary synchronization channel, and a frame transmission method and system thereof are provided. In the cell searching method in an OFDM cellular system including a plurality of cells allocated with scrambling codes unique to the cells, wherein each base station transmits a frame of each cell and a terminal searches for a target cell by using the frame received from the base station, the cell searching method includes: acquiring Sync-block synchronization corresponding to a period of a primary synchronization channel symbol included in the frame received by the terminal and a primary synchronization channel sequence number by using the primary synchronization channel symbol; and acquiring a frame boundary of the frame and the target cell of the terminal based on the Sync-block synchronization and the primary synchronization channel sequence number by using a secondary synchronization channel symbol included in the frame received by the terminal. Accordingly, the synchronization can be acquired with low complexity.

The invention provides a method of generating a downlink signal and searching a cell on the basis of the downlink signal in an OFDM-based cellular system. The downlink signal includes a plurality of synchronization blocks each having a plurality of sub-frames, and a synchronization pattern composed of a combination of a cell group identification code for identifying a cell group and a frame synchronization identification code for indicating a frame start point is generated in each of the synchronization blocks. Different frame synchronization identification codes are allocated to the synchronization blocks.

An apparatus for generating a downlink signal and a cell search apparatus are disclosed. An apparatus for generating a downlink signal generates a downlink signal by one unique cell identification code group and a plurality of frame synchronization identification sequences, generates a downlink signal by a plurality of unique cell identification code groups and a plurality of frame synchronization identification sequences, or generates a downlink signal by a plurality of unique cell identification code groups and one frame synchronization identification sequence. A cell search apparatus obtains frame synchronization and identifies cells through a frame synchronization identification sequence and a unique cell identification code group.

Provided are a cell search method, a forward link frame transmission method, an apparatus using the methods, and a forward link frame structure. The cell search apparatus includes a sync acquirer acquiring synchronization of sync channel symbols using a sync channel of a forward link, and a group detector detecting at least one hopping codeword element belonging to a hopping codeword of a target cell from a forward link signal containing sync channel symbols sequence-hopped using a hopping codeword corresponding to a code group to which a scrambling code of each cell belongs based on the acquired synchronization, and detecting a code group of the target cell based on the detected hopping codeword element, wherein the hopping codewords are orthogonal to a cyclic shift operation. Accordingly, a cell search time and the complexity of the cell search can be reduced.
