    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Described is a method and device for processing a signal received at an uplink control information (UCI) receiver in a wireless communication system. The method comprises processing a signal received on an uplink (UL) at said UCI receiver to transform said received signal into a likelihood calculation of possible transmitted codewords (θ1 . . . θi . . . θN). The likelihood calculation of possible transmitted codewords (θ1 . . . θi . . . θN) may comprise a multi-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (DFT) (θ1 . . . θi . . . θN) of said received signal. The multi-dimensional may be formed as a Hadamard Transform. The method includes determining a maximum magnitude θmax value from said likelihood calculation of possible transmitted codewords (θ1 . . . θi . . . θN) and then comparing said θmax value to a selected, calculated or predetermined scaled threshold c.τ where τ is a threshold and c is a scaling factor for the threshold τ. The comparison is such that, where θmax>c.τ, it is determined that the signal received on the UL at said UCI receiver comprises a linear block encoded signal. In some cases, the scaling factor c may be omitted.
