Patent attributes
The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate beyond a 4G communication system such as LTE. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for transmitting a synchronization signal by a base station in a filter bank multi carrier (FBMC) system and a base station using the same may be provided, the method comprising the steps of: generating a frequency-domain quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbol sequence having a length of k for a synchronization signal; mapping the QAM symbol sequence to a sub-carrier of a filter bank on the basis of the correlation characteristic of the synchronization signal; generating a quadrature amplitude modulation-filter bank multicarrier (QAM-FBMC) symbol including the synchronization signal on the basis of the mapping, and transmitting the generated QAM-FBMC symbol. In addition, a terminal communicating with the base station and an operation method for the terminal may be provided.
