Abstract:
Various exemplary embodiments relate to a device for performing a method of communication transmission. The device may include a memory; a processor configured to: determine a spreading code with low sidelobe levels in its autocorrelation sequence to be used; create a Start of Frame Delimiter (SOFD) for a packet including the spreading code and a cyclic prefix, wherein the cyclic prefix is a portion of the spreading code; and transmit the packet with the SOFD.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide communications between local and remote devices having low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) circuits. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, the local device transmits an LF signal to the remote device, which synchronizes its clock based on the LF signal. Another LF signal is communicated from the local device to the remote device using a reduced quality factor, which can be implemented to facilitate synchronization. The clock is resynchronized based on the second LF signal and used to transmit an HF signal with a time delay. The local device synchronizes its clock based on the HF signal, and transmits another HF signal to the remote device using the clock and another time delay. The remote device re-synchronizes its clock based on the second HF signal while accounting for a trip time for communicating the first and/or second HF signals.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to communications between devices. As consistent with one or more embodiments, a local device has a first clock, a low-frequency (LF) transmitter and a high-frequency (HF) transceiver. A remote device includes a second clock, a LF receiver and a HF transceiver. An LF signal is transmitted from the local device to the remote device and used to synchronize the second clock. The first clock is synchronized based on an HF signal transmitted to the local device using the synchronized second clock and a first predetermined time delay relative to receipt of the LF signal. The second clock is re-synchronized based on a second HF signal transmitted to the remote device using the first clock and a second predetermined time delay relative to receipt of the first HF signal, while accounting for a trip time for communicating one or both of the HF signals.
Abstract:
A first-transceiver system for use in an antenna diversity scheme. The first-transceiver system comprising: a first-receiver; a first-time/clock-generation-unit; a first-transmitter; and a timing-controller. The first-receiver is configured to receive a wireless first-common-signal from a third-party-transmitter, wherein the first-common-signal is representative of a common-signal transmitted by the third-party-transmitter. The timing-controller is configured to: receive signaling representative of the first-common-signal; receive signaling representative of a wireless second-common-signal as received at a second-transceiver, the wireless second-common-signal being representative of the common-signal; and generate a timing-signal based on the first-common-signal and the second-common-signal. The first-transceiver system is configured to set the first-time/clock-generation-unit, based on the timing-signal, to reduce an alignment-error between the first-time/clock-generation-unit and the second-time/clock-generation-unit. The first-transmitter is configured to transmit a wireless first-transmission-signal, in accordance with the first-time/clock-generation-unit, as part of the antenna diversity scheme that comprises aligned transmission of both the first-transmission-signal and a second-transmission-signal.

Abstract:
Using a clock circuit, a clock signal is generated at a base frequency. A frequency adjustment circuit selects, based upon a frequency offset value, a particular frequency adjustment value from a plurality of frequency adjustment values. An adjusted clock signal is provided that has a frequency corresponding to the base frequency as modified by the particular frequency adjustment value. Wireless communication signals are received at a wireless communication circuit. From the communication signals, a set of received wireless communication pulses are identified that have a pulse repetition frequency that corresponds to the adjusted clock signal. A distance ranging protocol is applied, using a processing circuit, to the identified set of received communication pulses.
