Transmitting/receiving apparatus and method for cell search in a broadband wireless communication system using multiple carriers

摘要

Disclosed is transmitting/receiving system and method for efficient cell search in a broadband wireless communication system using multiple carriers. The system includes a Base station (BS) generating an SCH signal by mapping predetermined symbols to predetermined subcarriers according to a code group to which the BS belongs, code-multiplexing a TCH signal and a pilot channel signal mapped to a predetermined time-frequency area and scrambling the code-multiplexed signal with a predetermined scrambling code identifying the BS along a time axis, time-multiplexing the SCH signal with the scrambled signal, OFDM-modulating the time-multiplexed signal, and transmitting the OFDM-modulated signal.
