Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting and receiving a synchronization signal in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for performing synchronization signal by transmitting and receiving a synchronization signal includes: receiving, from a base station, a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS); and performing synchronization by using the received PSS and the received SSS, in which a sequence for the SSS may be generated by a product between a first sequence and a second sequence and the number of first sequences may be configured to be larger than the number of second sequences.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for performing synchronization by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS); and
performing the synchronization by using the PSS and the SSS,
wherein a sequence for the SSS is generated by a product between i) a first sequence with length L and ii) a second sequence with length L,
wherein the L is an integer greater than 0,

wherein a length of the sequence for the SSS is configured to L, which is the same as the first sequence and the second sequence,
wherein a number of candidates of the first sequence is configured to be larger than a number of candidates of the second sequence,
wherein a product between the number of candidates of the first sequence and the number of candidates of the second sequence is same for a number of cell identifiers supported by the wireless communication system,
wherein a subcarrier spacing for the PSS and the SSS is based on any one of a plurality of subcarrier spacings supported for the synchronization, and
wherein a subcarrier spacing for Physical Broadcast channel (PBCH) related with the PSS and the SSS is configured equal to a subcarrier spacing for the PSS and the SSS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the product between the first sequence and the second sequence is the product between each element of the first sequence and each element of the second sequence.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein any one of the first sequence and the second sequence is an M sequence.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the M sequence is generated based on a specific initial value and a specific cyclic shift.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a polynomial for the sequence for the PSS is configured to be equal to any one of a first polynomial for the first sequence and a second polynomial for the second sequence.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein when the polynomial for the sequence for the PSS is x(n), x( 0 ) is 0, x( 1 ) is 1, x( 2 ) is 1, x( 3 ) is 0, x( 4 ) is 1, x( 5 ) is 1, and x( 6 ) is 1,
when the first polynomial is x 0 (n), x 0 ( 0 ) is 1, x 0 ( 1 ) is 0, x 0 ( 2 ) is 0, x 0 ( 3 ) is 0, x 0 ( 4 ) is 0, x 0 ( 5 ) is 0, and x 0 ( 6 ) is 0, and
when the second polynomial is x 1 (n), x 1 ( 0 ) is 1, x 1 ( 1 ) is 0, x 1 ( 2 ) is 0, x 1 ( 3 ) is 0, x 1 ( 4 ) is 0, x 1 ( 5 ) is 0, and x 1 ( 6 ) is 0.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the SSS is received contiguously with the PBCH, and
wherein a cyclic prefix applied to the SS is configured to be equal to the cyclic prefix applied to the PBCH.

8. A user equipment (UE) performing synchronization in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiving unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and
a processor functionally connected to the transceiving unit,
wherein the processor controls to:
receive, from a base station, a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS); and
perform the synchronization by using the PSS and the SSS,
wherein a sequence for the SSS is generated by a product between i) a first sequence with length L and ii) a second sequence with length L,
wherein the L is an integer greater than 0,

wherein a length of the sequence for the SSS is configured to L, which is the same as the first sequence and the second sequence,
wherein a number of candidates of the first sequences is configured to be larger than a number of candidates of the second sequences,
wherein a product between the number of candidates of the first sequence and the number of candidates of the second sequence is same for a number of cell identifiers supported by the wireless communication system,
wherein a subcarrier spacing for the PSS and the SSS is based on any one of a plurality of subcarrier spacings supported for the synchronization, and
wherein a subcarrier spacing for Physical Broadcast channel (PBCH) related with the PSS and the SSS is configured equal to a subcarrier spacing for the PSS and the SSS.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the product between the first sequence and the second sequence is the product between each element of the first sequence and each element of the second sequence.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein any one of the first sequence and the second sequence is an M sequence.
