Generating signals from non-GNSS transmitters, and processing the signals using a GNSS positioning module. Systems and methods identify a chipping rate, identify a PN code length, generate a PN code that has a length equal to the identified PN code length, generate a positioning signal using the identified chipping rate and the generated PN code, and transmit the positioning signal from the transmitter. The PN code length may produce, at the identified chipping rate, a PN code duration that is equal to or is a multiple of a PN code duration used in a GNSS system, the identified chipping rate may be equal to or a multiple of a chipping rate used in a GNSS system, and the identified PN code length may be equal to or a multiple of a PN code length used in a GNSS system.

Embodiments provide a method for generating a random access channel ZC sequence, and an apparatus. A method for generating a random access channel ZC sequence includes: generating, by a base station, notification signaling, where the notification signaling instructs user equipment UE to generate a random access ZC sequence by using a second restricted set in a random access set; and sending, by the base station, the notification signaling to the UE, so that the UE generates the random access ZC sequence by using the second restricted set, where the random access set includes an unrestricted set, a first restricted set, and the second restricted set; and the second restricted set is a random access set that the UE needs to use when a Doppler frequency shift of the UE is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value.

Code generating including generating a non-correlation sequence for RS of a first resource block; spreading spectrums of elements in the non-correlation sequence for RS to be mapped to a first frequency resource of the first resource block, by using a first group of codes; second spreading spectrums of elements in the non-correlation sequence for RS to be mapped to a second frequency resource of the first resource block, by using a second group of Codes; the first and second frequency resources are adjacent frequency resources in frequency resource elements used for RS transmission in the first resource block, and the first and second groups of Codes are mirrors in column to each other; and mapping the spectrum-spread elements to the first and second frequency resources, respectively.

A method for operating a transmitting device to communicate with a receiving device is described herein. The method includes the step of the transmitting device selecting a root index value from a set of root index values. The method further includes the step of the transmitting device generating a frequency domain Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation sequence based on the selected root index value. The method further includes the step of the transmitting device modulating the Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation sequence by a pseudo-noise sequence. The method further includes the step of the transmitting device generating an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol, wherein the frequency domain Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation sequence modulated by the pseudo-noise sequence defines subcarrier values for the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol. The method further includes the step of the transmitting device transmitting the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol as an initial Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing symbol of a preamble of a frame to the receiving device.
