    Abstract: Described is a method of determining a position of a mobile wireless device in a wireless communication network. The method comprises, for a plurality of clusters of transmission reception points (TRPs) associated with said mobile wireless device, measuring a parameter of first reference signals transmitted between said mobile wireless device and a single TRP from each cluster of TRPs. The method includes, based on the respective measured parameter of the first reference signals, selecting one cluster of TRPs from said plurality of clusters of TRPs. Position estimation information is determined from second reference signals transmitted between said mobile wireless device and a plurality of the TRPs comprising the selected cluster of TRPs. The determined position estimation information is used to determine a position for said mobile wireless device.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of determining timing of arrival of a signal on a path to a receiver in a mobile wireless communications system. The method comprises obtaining a channel impulse response (CIR) of a signal received at the receiver and deriving a power characteristic of the CIR. The method includes producing a first derivative of the power characteristic with respect to time, selecting some or all extrema from the first derivative of the power characteristic as indicative of candidate signal paths, and selecting one or more of said candidate signal paths. The method preferably includes determining timing of arrival of a signal on a first path of arrival at the receiver by assessing an energy value of each of said candidate signal paths against a threshold value.

    Abstract: A method for performing high speed mode detection of a carrier frequency offset (CFO) includes receiving a Zadoff-Chu signal at a wireless device, and determining a plurality of correlation peaks based on a correlation of the signal with one or more known Zadoff-Chu sequences. The method includes determining a carrier frequency offset (CFO) associated with the signal based on a phases associated with the plurality of correlation peaks and a coarse CFO estimate. The coarse CFO estimate may be determined based on a squared power ratio of particular pairs of the plurality of correlation peaks and the phases may be used to remove ambiguity associated with the coarse CFO estimate.

    Abstract: A methods for performing a cell search in multiple antenna wireless systems using a plurality of spatial filters is disclosed, and includes applying a plurality of spatial filters to a plurality of received signal streams to generate a plurality of filtered signal streams. The plurality of received signal streams correspond to signals received at a plurality of receive antennas from a plurality of signal sources (e.g., neighboring cells). In an aspect, the plurality of spatial filters may be predefined spatial filters and may be weighted using a set of predefined filter weights. In an additional or alternative aspect, the plurality of spatial filters may be adaptive spatial filters and may be weighted using a set of dynamically determined filter weights. The method includes detecting physical network identities based on the plurality of filtered signal streams.

    Abstract: Provided is a method and an apparatus for signaling allocation of resources in a joint transmission communication system. The method includes determining one of a plurality of resource allocation schemes to be implemented by two or more of a plurality of transmission points (TPs) comprising a set of coordinated TPs for enabling said two or more of said TPs to transmit data to a scheduled user equipment (UE). The method may comprise determining a bit length of a resource allocation field for a resource allocation signal message based on a number N of resource blocks groups (RBGs) related to a bandwidth of the joint transmission communication system and a number M of TPs comprising said set of coordinated TPs and further include formatting the resource allocation signal message to provide the resource allocation field based on said determined bit length. The resource allocation signal message is transmitted from only one of said set of coordinated TPs to said scheduled UE.

    Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for detection of a signal using resource elements in the frequency domain where the signal for which detection is provided is multiplexed with other signals having subcarrier spacing that is different than the signal for which detection is provided are disclosed. Embodiments may provide for detection of a physical random access channel (PRACH) signal in a cellular radio communication system using resource elements in the frequency domain, wherein the PRACH signal is multiplexed with signals of other channels (e.g., data and/or control channel signals) of the cellular radio communication system. A frequency domain filter, such as implementing inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) with down-sampling using indices for PRACH recovery, may be utilized to extract PRACH samples from frequency domain resource elements provided in a resource grid corresponding to a different subcarrier spacing than that of the PRACH.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for cell identification. For example, the systems, devices, and methods described herein may be used to detecting a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) index. In an aspect of the present disclosure, a method includes detecting, at an electronic device, a first SSS index based on a comparison between a first power value and a first threshold. The first power value is associated with a correlation power result between a received signal from a base station and a local SSS. The method also include determining, at the electronic device, a second threshold based on the first power value, and performing a comparison between a second power value and the second threshold. The second power value is determined based on the received signal.
