    Abstract: A communication device can be configured to estimate a Reference-Signal-Received-Power (RSRP). The communication device can include a transceiver and a controller. The transceiver can be configured to downsample a received signal having a plurality of reference signal resource elements to generate a downsampled signal. The downsampling can alias a first of the plurality of reference signal resource elements into a second of the plurality of reference signal resource elements to generate an aliased reference signal resource element. The transceiver can also be configured to extract the aliased reference signal resource element from the downsampled signal. The controller can be connected to the transceiver and be configured to estimate the RSRP based on the extracted aliased reference signal resource element.

    Abstract: A method and communication device adapted for interference cancellation in a cell search used in a communication device, including: correlating a signal received at the communication device with a template comprising one or more signal sequences associated with one or more corresponding cells to determine a metric for each of the signal sequences; and at least one iteration of: ranking the signal sequences based on the determined metrics, wherein the highest ranked signal sequence is designated as an aggressor sequence; performing an interference cancellation to generate a corrected metric for signal sequences based on their correlation with the aggressor sequence; and removing the aggressor sequence and setting priority to the cell associated with the aggressor sequence.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of synchronization signal correlation, comprising receiving a synchronization signal (“SS”) on a plurality of receive antennas; performing a signal revision on the SS received on a first receive antenna, the signal revision comprising performing an element-wise squaring of the SS; calculating a complex coefficient by summing the element-wise squared SS; estimating a phase angle of the complex coefficient; and performing an element-wise phase correction of the SS; the method synchronization signal correlation further comprising performing the signal revision on the SS received on a second receive antenna; conditioning the revised signals by constructively and destructively combining the revised signals; selecting an optimized conditioned signal, wherein the optimized conditioned signal is the constructive or destructive combination with the largest Euclidian norm; correlating the optimized conditioned signal with a series of candidate SSs; and selecting the correlation with the largest magnitude as a transmitted SS.

    Abstract: A mobile communication device may include a cell search circuit configured to process a first block of signal waveform data to extract a first discrete parameter set, wherein the first discrete parameter set identifies one or more first potential cells present in the first block of signal waveform data, process the second block of signal waveform data to extract a second discrete parameter set, wherein the second discrete parameter set identifies one or more second potential cells present in the second block of signal waveform data, and compare the first discrete parameter set and the second discrete parameter set to identify one or more matching cells, and an RF transceiver configured to transmit or receive radio signals based on the identification of the one or more matching cells.
