Solution Overview

Problem

Current LTE systems lack a clear solution for base sequences used in pilot signal transmission and data frequency domain spreading in new wireless communication systems, such as 5G, leading to issues with peak-to-average power ratio and correlation between sequences, which affect signal transmission performance and inter-cell interference.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced to generate uplink signal sequences by configuring phases φ(n)π/4 for base sequences, performing a full traversal of possible phases, and selecting sequences with the lowest peak-to-average power ratio and cross-correlation characteristics, thereby reducing interference between different sequences of cells.

1Reliability

If traditional base sequences are used for uplink signal transmission, then the system maintains compatibility with existing LTE standards, but the peak-to-average power ratio increases and correlation between sequences worsens, degrading signal transmission performance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the phase parameters of the base sequence by introducing a phase rotation factor e^(jαn) where α is specifically designed to reduce peak-to-average power ratio. This parameter modification transforms the traditional base sequence into an optimized sequence that maintains orthogonality while reducing PAPR, directly resolving the contradiction between reliable signal transmission and harmful peak power effects
