Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may process, for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) communication in a millimeter wave (mmWave) band, information for transmission, wherein the information is modulated using an extended sequence with a length greater than a base sequence length for PUCCH communication or wherein a cyclic shift, of a plurality of cyclic shifts for a set of contiguous resource blocks for transmission of the information, is applied to the information based at least in part on a resource block group associated with the information. The UE may transmit the information based at least in part on processing the information. Numerous other aspects are described.

A system and method for generating a composite synchronization sequence in a communication system. In one embodiment, the apparatus is configured to provide a first synchronization sequence and a second synchronization sequence in a first domain, transform the first synchronization sequence and the second synchronization sequence into a second domain, and extend the first synchronization sequence and the second synchronization sequence in the second domain to a common length to produce an extended first synchronization sequence and an extended second synchronization sequence. The apparatus is also configured to transform the extended first synchronization sequence and the extended second synchronization sequence into the first domain, and multiply elementwise the extended first synchronization sequence by the extended second synchronization sequence in the first domain to obtain a composite synchronization sequence.

The extension proposed is an interpolation in time domain through zero padding in frequency domain. Typically a Zadoff-Chu sequence with different cyclic shifts is combined with a m-sequence. Such a combination increases the number of available sequences for PRACH with good auto- and cross-correlation properties.

An apparatus and method for processing a constant amplitude sequence yields a transmission signal exhibiting a low PAPR. The method comprises extending a constant amplitude sequence, such as a Zadoff-Chu sequence, by adding to the sequence one or more complex-valued elements that have the same amplitude as other complex-valued elements in the sequence. The method also includes upsampling the extended sequence by linearly interpolating a difference in phase between adjacent complex-valued elements in the extended sequence. The method further entails limiting a bandwidth of the upsampled sequence by low pass filtering the upsampled sequence. The method may also include transmitting the band limited sequence. Due to the low PAPR of the transmitted signal, a power amplifier, which may be integrated with other circuits in a System-on-Chip, may have a low backoff. This yields high efficiency for the amplifier, hence low power consumption, and extended battery life in radio network devices.
