Abstract:
The present invention provides an OFDM symbol generating apparatus. The OFDM symbol generating apparatus generates a plurality of weight-applied symbol groups by applying a plurality of weights to a digital modulation symbol group, and generates a plurality of IFFT symbol groups by performing an IFFT operation on the plurality of weight-applied symbol groups. Subsequently, an IFFT symbol group having the minimum PAPR is selected from among the plurality of IFFT symbol groups such that a characteristic of a PAPR can be improved without reducing data transmission speed.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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.
