Abstract

A method for performing a random access by a device in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving a broadcast signal including location information which indicates each of at least two partial areas included in a transmission area of a preamble sequence, and transmitting the preamble sequence through one of the at least two partial areas on the basis of the broadcast signal.

Claims (58)

1. A method for performing random access by a transmission device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a reception device, a broadcast signal comprising configuration information for a preamble sequence transmission region;

selecting a partial region among at least two partial regions included in the preamble sequence transmission region based on the configuration information included in the broadcast signal; and

transmitting a preamble sequence for the random access through the selected partial region,

wherein the configuration information indicates at least two start points corresponding to the at least two partial regions in a time domain and at least two sequence lengths corresponding to the at least two start points.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information comprises mode information indicating a scheme for selecting the partial region among the at least two partial regions.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the selecting comprises:

if the configuration information comprises a first mode information, comparing a receive signal strength of the broadcast signal with a signal strength threshold value; and

selecting the partial region among the at least two partial regions based on a result of the comparing.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the selecting comprises:

if the configuration information comprises a first mode information, comparing a receive signal strength of the broadcast signal with a signal strength threshold value;

if the receive signal strength of the broadcast signal is greater than or equal to the signal strength threshold value, selecting a first partial region among the at least two partial regions; and

if the receive signal strength of the broadcast signal is less than the signal strength threshold value, selecting one of remaining regions except for the first partial region among the at least two partial regions.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the selecting comprises:

if the configuration information comprises a second mode information, selecting a random access resource configuration indicated by the second mode information among random access resource configurations shared with a plurality of reception devices; and

selecting the partial region among the at least two partial regions based on the selected random access resource configuration.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information comprises at least one of a sequence length according to a service type of the transmission device, or a modulation or coding scheme (MCS) level of the transmission device.

7. A method for detecting random access by a reception device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating a broadcast signal comprising configuration information for a preamble sequence transmission region;

transmitting, to a transmission device, the broadcast signal; and

receiving, a preamble sequence transmitted by a transmission device through a partial region indicated by the configuration information among at least two partial regions included in the preamble sequence transmission region,

wherein the configuration information indicates at least two start points corresponding to the at least two partial regions in a time domain and at least two sequence lengths corresponding to the at least two start points.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the configuration information comprises mode information indicating a scheme for selecting the partial region among the at least two partial regions.

9. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the mode information comprises one of a first mode and a second mode,
