Design of synchronization burst transmitter and detector for 5G physical layer

Abstract

The continuously increasing demand for wireless communication technology has enabled the advancement from 1G to 5G and even beyond 5G. Synchronization is a time-frequency domain communication network that enables the UE ( user equipment ) to transmit and receive the signals efficiently. Therefore, synchronization has used to establish communication in 5G-NRuser equipment. Due to the wide spectrum utilization and less interference, the synchronization in 5G has gained much importance. Hence, in this study, we mainly focus on the development of the synchronization signal burst, which comprises signals such as PSS, SSS, PBCH and PBCH-DMRS. OFDM is the modulation scheme which has been used for the transmission of the synchronization signal Burst. OFDM supports multiple sub-carrier spacing which provides the broad spectrum utilization. In the proposed work, we have implemented the PSS and SSS signals along with the OFDM ( IFFT + CP) which completes the transmission of the synchronization signal burst using Vivado HLS. The OFDM IP has been developed and simulated using the Vivado Design Suite.
