Abstract

Provided are a signal transmission method and system, which relates to wireless communications. The method includes: transmitting, by a first node, a first signal. The first signal comprises at least one of: at least one first structure, or at least one second structure. The first structure includes at least one symbol group, and the symbol group of the first structure includes a cyclic prefix and at least one symbol or includes a cyclic prefix, at least one symbol and a guard period. Each symbol group of the first structure occupies a same subcarrier or a same frequency resource in a frequency domain. The second structure includes at least one symbol group, and the symbol group of the second structure comprises a cyclic prefix and at least one symbol or includes a cyclic prefix, at least one symbol and a guard period. Each symbol group of the second structure occupies a same subcarrier or a same frequency resource in the frequency domain.

Claims (48)

1. A signal transmission method, comprising:

transmitting, by a first node, a first signal that comprises at least two sets of symbol groups,

wherein each set of symbol group includes three symbol groups,

wherein each of the three symbol groups for each set of symbol group comprises a cyclic prefix and at least one symbol,

wherein a symbol group occupies a same subcarrier,

wherein the at least two sets of symbol groups comprises a first set of symbol groups that include a first symbol group and a second symbol group, and a third symbol group,

wherein a delta of subcarrier indexes occupied by the first symbol group and the second symbol group is +K1 subcarriers,

wherein a delta of subcarrier indexes occupied by the second symbol group and the third symbol group is −K1 subcarriers,

wherein the at least two sets of symbol groups comprises a second set of symbol groups that include a fourth symbol group and a fifth symbol group, and a sixth symbol group,

wherein a delta of subcarrier indexes occupied by the fourth symbol group and the fifth symbol group is +K2 subcarriers, and

wherein a delta of subcarrier indexes occupied by the fifth symbol group and the sixth symbol group is −K2 subcarriers.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a subcarrier index occupied by the second symbol group and the third symbol group is determined according to a subcarrier index occupied by the first symbol group, and

wherein a subcarrier index occupied by the fifth symbol group and the sixth symbol group is determined according to a subcarrier index occupied by the fourth symbol group.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a subcarrier index occupied by the fourth symbol group of the second set of symbol groups is determined according to a subcarrier index occupied by the first symbol group of the first set of symbol groups.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first signal includes a random access signal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of symbol groups is adjacent to the second set of symbol groups.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein K1 is equal to 1.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein K2 is equal to 6.

8. A signal transmission method, comprising:

transmitting, by a first node, a first signal that comprises at least one set of symbol groups,

wherein the at least one set of symbol groups comprises two symbol groups,

wherein each of the two symbol groups comprises a cyclic prefix and at least one symbol,

wherein a symbol group occupies a same subcarrier,

wherein the at least one set of symbol groups comprises a first symbol group and a second symbol group,

wherein a delta of subcarrier indexes occupied by the first symbol group and the second symbol group is K4 subcarriers, and

wherein a subcarrier index occupied by the second symbol group is determined according to a subcarrier index occupied by the first symbol group.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one set of symbol groups comprises a first set of symbol groups and a second set of symbol groups, and

wherein a subcarrier index occupied by a first symbol group of the second set of symbol groups is determined according to a subcarrier index occupied by a first symbol group of the first set of symbol groups.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first set of symbol groups is adjacent to the second set of symbol groups.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first signal includes a random access signal.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein K4 is equal to 1 or −1.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein K4 is equal to 6 or −6.

14. A signal transmission method, comprising:

transmitting, by a first node, a first signal that comprises four sets of symbol groups,

wherein each of the four sets of symbol groups comprises two symbol groups,

wherein each of the two symbol groups comprises a cyclic prefix and at least one symbol,

wherein a symbol group occupies a same subcarrier,

wherein each of two sets of symbol groups of the four sets of symbol groups comprises a first symbol group and a second symbol group,

wherein a delta of subcarrier indexes occupied by the first symbol group and the second symbol group is K1 subcarriers,

wherein each of other two sets of symbol groups of the four sets of symbol groups comprises a third symbol group and a fourth symbol group, and

wherein a delta of subcarrier indexes occupied by the third symbol group and the fourth symbol group is K2 subcarriers.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein a subcarrier index occupied by the second symbol group is determined according to a subcarrier index occupied by the first symbol group.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein a subcarrier index occupied by the fourth symbol group is determined according to a subcarrier index occupied by the third symbol group.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the first signal includes a random access signal.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein K1 is equal to 1 or −1.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein K2 is equal to 6 or −6.
