Transmitting apparatus and method for receiving a digital signal in a digital telecommunication system
View Patent ↗A receiver that receives a reference symbol comprising a sequence of a plurality of synchronization repetition patterns, wherein each repetition pattern contains a predetermined number of samples. The reference symbol is part of a digital signal modulated by using OFDM modulation. An end synchronization repetition pattern in the reference symbol is phase-shifted by 180°, and the phase-shifted synchronization repetition pattern is positioned after the sequence of the number of synchronization repetition patterns. The receiver detects a timing of a correlation peak at the end of said reference symbol by performing a cross-correlation of the synchronization repetition patterns.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a reference symbol comprising at least nine synchronization repetition patterns, wherein
each synchronization repetition pattern contains a predetermined number of samples,
the reference symbol is part of a digital signal modulated by using OFDM modulation, and
an end synchronization repetition pattern in the reference symbol is phase-shifted by 180° in relation to the other synchronization repetition patterns included in the reference symbol; and
detecting a timing of a correlation peak at the end of the reference symbol by performing a cross-correlation of the plurality of synchronization repetition patterns.
2. A method comprising:
receiving a reference symbol comprising at least nine synchronization repetition patterns, wherein
each synchronization repetition pattern contains a predetermined number of samples,
the reference symbol is part of a digital signal modulated by using OFDM modulation, and
an end synchronization repetition pattern in the reference symbol is phase-shifted by 180° in relation to the other synchronization repetition patterns included in the reference symbol;
performing a synchronization process by detecting
a timing of an end of the reference symbol by performing a cross-correlation of the plurality of synchronization repetition patterns.
