Abstract:
A method and apparatus provides a subset of sequence values to be used as synchronization signal sequences for determining the identification of a communication target, which is selected (306) from the set of possible sequence values. The selected subset of sequence values includes no more than one sequence value from any group of possible sequence values from the determined set where (a) a value of a difference between the second cyclic shift of the second maximum length sequence and the first cyclic shift of the first maximum length sequence are equal (308), and (b) the difference between the respective first cyclic shift value of the first maximum length for any two of the possible sequence values in the group are less than or equal to the determined expected maximum carrier frequency offset value (310).
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for occupying an unlicensed carrier to send a discovery signal, and an access point. The method includes the following steps. A parameter of a discovery signal sent on an unlicensed carrier by an access point is configured. The access point sends the discovery signal on the unlicensed carrier. The technical solution of the present invention can reduce the time for processing items other than data sending (such as synchronization) after each time the access point preempts a resource, and can improve the spectral efficiency of the unlicensed carrier.
Abstract:
An apparatus (10) and method (100) for processing a constant amplitude sequence (12) yields a transmission signal (32) exhibiting a low peak to average power ratio, PAPR. The signal (32) may be suitable for transmission (140) in the uplink as a random access preamble or uplink measurement signal for handover assessment. The signal (32) may be suitable for transmission (140) in the downlink as a synchronization signal. The method (100) comprises extending (110) a constant amplitude sequence (12), such as a Zadoff-Chu sequence, by adding to the sequence one or more complex-valued elements that have the same amplitude as other complex-valued elements in the sequence (12). The method (100) also includes upsampling (120) the extended sequence (16) by linearly interpolating a difference in phase between adjacent complex-valued elements in the extended sequence (16). The method (100) further entails limiting (130) a bandwidth of the upsampled sequence (20) by low pass filtering the upsampled sequence (20). The method (100) may also include transmitting (140) the band limited sequence (28). Due to the low PAPR of the transmitted signal (32), a power amplifier, which may be integrated with other circuits in a System-on-Chip, may have a low backoff. This yields high efficiency for the amplifier, hence low power consumption, and hence extended battery life in radio network devices.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus (2900) in the present disclosure includes a signal processing unit (2901) that adjusts a transmission timing and/or a frequency such that a modulated symbol sequence for each terminal is transmitted within a frame corresponding to a communicable range to which each terminal belongs among a plurality of frames defined by time and frequency bands and a weighting synthesis unit (2902) that applies weights to each of the modulated symbol sequences and transmits the modulated symbol sequence from an antenna element. The frame is set such that the number of modulated symbol sequences that can be simultaneously transmitted in the same period of time and the same frequency band becomes different depending on communicable ranges, the frame including subframes specified by performing time division and/or frequency division on the frame. The signal processing unit assigns, to each of the subframes, modulated symbol sequences, the number of which is equal to or fewer than the number of modulated symbol sequences that can be simultaneously communicated.
Abstract:
A system and method for scheduling a transmission of a message in a communication system. In an embodiment, the method includes identifying major reference points and minor reference points associated with a subframe. The method also includes scheduling a transmission of the message to begin on one of the minor reference points between the major reference points.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method and a device for detecting a primary synchronization signal and generating a sequence in a LTE system, so as to solve the problem that the overhead for 3GPP LTE system to store a local primary synchronization sequence is too much during the initial cell search process. The method for detecting a primary synchronization signal includes: directly generating a local primary synchronization signal sequence with equal amplitude in the time domain as a matched filter; performing a front-end processing for a received signal; performing the matched filtering between the received signal after the front-end processing and the local primary synchronization signal sequence; judging the output amplitude of the signal sequence obtained after the matched filtering; and then obtaining a judgment result of the local primary synchronization signal sequence.
