Abstract

A method for generating a preamble for a random access in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes: dividing a preamble sequence into sequence subsets each corresponding to each of a plurality of antennas; and generating a preamble by using the sequence subsets corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas. A method for generating a preamble for a random access supporting multiple antennas in a wireless system can be provided.

Claims (23)

1. A method for generating a preamble for a random access, performed by a user equipment (UE) having a plurality of antennas, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

dividing a preamble sequence into sequence subsets

generating preambles by using the sequence subsets, each of the preambles corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas; and

transmitting the preambles simultaneously through the plurality of antennas,

wherein the sequence subsets are generated by puncturing the preamble sequence such that the sequence subsets are disjoint each other and,

wherein the preambles are transmitted by using different subcarrier sets each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preamble sequence is selected from a set of a plurality of sequences generated from a Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the set comprises the ZC sequence and a sequence cyclic-shifted by cyclic shift unit from the ZC sequence.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving information regarding the ZC sequence and information regarding the cyclic shift unit.

5. A method for performing random access, performed by a user equipment (UE) having a plurality of antennas, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

dividing a preamble sequence into sequence subsets

generating preambles by using the sequence subsets, each of the preambles corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas, and transmitting the same; and

receiving a random access response including timing alignment information,

wherein each of the sequence subsets is generated by puncturing the preamble sequence such that the sequence subsets are disjoint each other and,

wherein the preambles are transmitted by using different subcarrier sets each other.

6. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a plurality of antennas; and

a preamble generator configured to:

divide a preamble sequence into sequence subsets and generate preambles by using the sequence subsets, each of the preambles corresponding to each of the plurality of antennas, and

transmit the preambles simultaneously through the plurality of antennas,

wherein each of the sequence subsets is generated by puncturing the preamble sequence such that the sequence subsets are disjoint each other and,

wherein the preambles are transmitted by using different subcarrier sets each other.
