Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication environments using OFDM technology, the Zadoff-Chu code sequence does not perform optimally with differential detection, lacking zero cross-correlation when transmitted.

Innovation Solution

A padded code sequence is generated with the last symbol duplicating the first symbol, transmitted over multiple sub-carriers using multiple antennas, maintaining orthogonality and enhancing code properties for improved detection probability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If Zadoff-Chu code sequence is transmitted using conventional OFDM technology, then transmission can be performed with standard modulation and mapping, but the code sequence does not achieve zero cross-correlation with differential detection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection probabilityVSAvoidcross-correlation property
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The code sequence is segmented into multiple groups where each group contains multiple code sequences. This segmentation allows differential detection to be applied group-by-group, enabling the system to achieve zero cross-correlation properties while maintaining compatibility with conventional OFDM transmission frameworks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Differential encoding is performed preliminarily on the code sequences before transmission. The transmitter applies differential encoding to generate encoded code sequences that inherently possess zero cross-correlation properties, ensuring that the detection probability is improved before the signal even reaches the receiver

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If conventional OFDM transmission is used without code sequence extension, then transmission simplicity is maintained, but detection performance is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection performanceVSAvoidtransmission structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention nests multiple levels of structure within the transmission framework: code sequences are nested within groups, groups are nested within resource blocks, and multiple resource blocks are nested within the overall transmission frame. This nested structure allows complex detection improvements while maintaining a relatively simple overall transmission architecture that builds upon conventional OFDM

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention extends the code sequence into the time dimension by creating multiple groups of code sequences transmitted at different time intervals. This temporal dimensionality addition allows differential detection to operate effectively across multiple time instances, improving detection performance without fundamentally altering the frequency-domain OFDM structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
