Abstract

When a terminal generates an uplink signal in a communication system, the terminal hops a sequence for differentiating itself from another terminal with time. The terminal generates the uplink signal by multiplying a transmission symbol by a sequence of a transmission time corresponding to the transmission symbol.

Claims

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A communication methodof transmitting an uplink signal at a terminal of a first user in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
 transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), a first sequence at a first transmission time, the first sequence being determined by based on a basic sequence and a first cyclic shift valueamong a plurality of cyclic shift values including the first cyclic shift value, a second cyclic shift value, a third cyclic shift value, and a fourth cyclic shift value; and 
 transmitting, by the UE, a second sequence at a second transmission time after the first transmission time, the second sequence being determined by based on the basic sequence and the a second cyclic shift value, 
 wherein at a terminal of a second user being different from the first user, a sequence determined by the basic sequence and the third cyclic shift value is transmitted at the first transmission time and a sequence determined by the basic sequence and the fourth cyclic shift value is transmitted at the second transmission time, and 
 wherein a difference between the second cyclic shift value and the first cyclic shift value is different from a difference between the fourth cyclic shift value and the third cyclic shift value when the third cyclic shift value is adjacent to the first cyclic shift value 
 wherein the first cyclic shift value and the second cyclic shift value are UE-specific. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second cyclic shift value is determined based on the first cyclic shift value, and the fourth cyclic shift value is determined based on the third cyclic shift value. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first sequence is defined by a product of the basic sequence and a complex sine wave corresponding to the first cyclic shift value, and
 the second sequence is defined by a product of the basic sequence and a complex sine wave corresponding to the second cyclic shift value. 
 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first sequence is given by cyclic-shifting the basic sequence by the first cyclic shift value in a time domain, and
 the second sequence is given by cyclic-shifting the basic sequence by the second cyclic shift value in a time domain cyclic shift value is determined also based on a first symbol number of the first transmission time, and the second cyclic shift value is determined also based on a second symbol number of the second transmission time. 
 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first sequence and the second sequence  c   i     n     (k)  is given as follows:
