METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING BROADCAST CHANNEL IN CELLULAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Provided is a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a Broadcast Channel (BCH) in a cellular communication system. The method for transmitting a BCH in a cellular communication system includes repeating symbols comprising information about the BCH, code-covering the repeated symbols with codes selected from a previously given code set, subcarrier-mapping the code-covered symbols, and transmitting the subcarrier-mapped symbols in one frame by using different beams corresponding to the selected codes. The codes are selected based on a number of repetitions, a cell identifier, and a beam index.
