METHOD AND APPARATUS OF GENERATING SIGNALS FOR INITIAL RANGING IN OFDMA SYSTEM

摘要

Provided is a method and apparatus of generating signals for initial ranging in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system. The method, includes: generating a plurality of ranging symbols by cyclic-shifting sample data of a ranging symbol in one OFDMA symbol period as much as a value obtained by multiplying a cyclic prefix size by a symbol index; generating a ranging signal by copying a rear part corresponding to the cyclic prefix size in the sample data with respect to each of the ranging symbols and inserting the copied rear part in front of the sample data as a cyclic prefix.
