Method and apparatus for generating ranging signal in wireless communication system

摘要

A method and apparatus of generating a ranging signal in a wireless communication system is provided. A mobile station (MS) generates a ranging code in which a covering code has been applied to each of a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbols, and maps the ranging code to a plurality of subcarriers constituting each of the OFDMA symbols. The ranging signal is generated by performing OFDMA modulation on each of the OFDMA symbols.
