Abstract

A method of communicating signals between a transmitter and a receiver in a mobile communication system, and the transmitter and the receiver for the same are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method of transmitting signals by a transmitter in a mobile communication system includes: mapping, by the transmitter, a sequence generated by using a Zadoff-Chu sequence having a root index to frequency domain indexes; and transmitting, by the transmitter, the mapped sequence. The root index is selected from a predetermined index set consisting of three indexes. The three indexes include a first index and a second index. A sum of the first index and the second index corresponds to a length of the Zadoff-Chu sequence.

Claims (143)

1. A method of transmitting signals by a transmitter in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

mapping, by the transmitter, a sequence generated by using a Zadoff-Chu sequence having a root index to frequency domain indexes, wherein the root index is selected from a predetermined index set consisting of three indexes, wherein the three indexes comprise a first index and a second index, and wherein a sum of the first index and the second index corresponds to a length of the Zadoff-Chu sequence; and

transmitting, by the transmitter, the mapped sequence.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the length of the Zadoff-Chu sequence is an odd number; and
