Embodiments of the present invention may provide an apparatus and a method for transmitting and receiving a random access channel (RACH) in a single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system. A frequency domain RACH signal may be mapped to a localized sub-frequency band of an entire frequency band available to the SC-FDMA system. A guard band including at least one sub carrier may be allocated between the RACH signal band and other channel signal bands. A guard time may be allocated between the RACE signal and other channel signals in the time domain. The RACH signal may include a short message including information related to a mobile station. The RACE signal may be detected in a frequency based method, a time based method or a sliding matched filter based method. Receiver complexity can be decreased if the RACH signal includes a CAZAC code sequence for a preamble. In such a case, a receive delay may be simply calculated and then adjusted more accurately.

Method for improving a TFCI transportation performance, including the steps of (1) coding TFCI information bits to be transported through each radio frame, (2) repeating a TFCI code word produced by the coding for an arbitrary times, (3) applying puncturing patterns different from each other to the repeated code words produced as many as the repeated times, and puncturing the repeated code words at locations different from each other, and (4) dividing, inserting, and transporting the punctured fixed length repeated code words in each slot of the radio frame, whereby improving TFCI information transportation performance, and embodying the receiver side decoder to be identical to a case when a 32 bit code word are transported perfectly.

Method for improving TFCI transportation performance

A method for matching a rate in a mobile communication system causes puncturing or repetition in a fixed pattern, in which puncturing or repetition is applied to each bitstream on transport channels supporting different services in a next generation mobile communication system of the W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) system. The method comprises the steps of (1) subjecting a bitstream on a transport channel for use in supporting a particular service to channel coding, (2) determining an initial error offset value for use in avoiding all the puncturing only in a particular bitstream among one or more than one bitstreams produced by the channel coding, (3) periodically subtracting a decrement from the determined initial error offset value, for puncturing a bit at a relevant position when a result of the subtraction satisfies a puncturing condition, (4) adding an update error parameter determined as the maximum bit size among TF (Transport Format) transportable during one TTI (Transport Time Interval) of the transport channel after the puncturing to a result of the subtraction, for updating an initial error offset value, and (5) periodically subtracting a decrement from the updated initial error offset value, for determining a position of a relevant bit to be punctured at the next time.

Method for matching rate in mobile communication system

A rate matching method is provided for a mobile communication system that performs an adjustment to a code rate based on an optimal level by puncturing or repetition to respective bit streams of transport channels. The rate matching method is preferably applicable to uplink and downlink rate matching for channel coding including turbo coding, convolutional coding and the like. The rate matching method for uplink can include executing coding for bits of a transport channel, and branching off the bits into a plurality of sequences, constructing a first interleaving pattern for the plurality of sequences, constructing a virtual interleaving pattern for at least one sequence based on a mapping rule with a corresponding first interleaving pattern and calculating different bit shifting values in each column of each virtual interleaving pattern. Then, a bit position to be punctured is determined in each constructed virtual interleaving pattern using the calculated bit shifting values.

Apparatus and method for determining a fixed point in a mobile communication system are disclosed. An initial fixed point is set through simulation and a saturation for an output of a target device is compared with a reference saturation. Then, the position of the initial fixed point is adaptively changed according to the change in the output range of the target device. Therefore, when a floating point is converted into a fixed point, the performance of the system can be improved while the complexity of the hardware can be reduced.

A method of controlling timing for an uplink synchronous transmission scheme is disclosed, including combining time alignment bit (TAB) information transmitted received during a predetermined period, determining a timing renewal value based on the combination, and controlling the transmission timing according to the timing renewal value. Thus, the TAB information transmitted by a base station may be used to synchronize the uplink transmissions of mobile communication devices.
