摘要:
Systems and methods for processing a Random Access (RA) transmission are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operating a radio access node in a cellular communications network includes receiving an RA transmission from a wireless device. The method also includes detecting an RA preamble in the RA transmission from the wireless device and estimating a timing parameter of the wireless device using the RA transmission from the wireless device separately from detecting the RA preamble. By estimating the timing parameter separately from detecting the RA preamble, increased detection of the RA preamble is possible while also increasing the precision of the timing parameter estimate. In some embodiments, this separation also enables a complexity reduction of the receiver if a low complexity detector is used first and then the high complexity timing estimator is only used when an RA preamble is detected.

The present invention provides a method for detecting an uplink synchronization signal in a wireless access system supporting a high frequency band, a method for designing a detection filter for the same, and devices for supporting the methods. A method by which a base station detects a random access channel (RACH) signal in a wireless access system supporting a high frequency band, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: allocating a cyclic shift value used in the base station; configuring a reception signal vector for signals transmitted through the RACH; deriving a cyclic shift candidate greater than or equal to a reference value from the reception signal vector by using a first detection filter; and detecting the RACH signal from the cyclic shift candidate by using a second detection filter, wherein the first detection filter and the second detection filter can be set on the basis of the cyclic shift value.

An auxiliary reduced power analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided for use during sleep periods of a receiver. The auxiliary ADC has a reduced dynamic range but sufficient accuracy to allow demodulation of signaling information contained in an input signal and to update control parameters used for synchronization and channel estimation. As such, a main higher power, higher dynamic range ADC can be turned off during sleep periods, reducing receiver power consumption. The main ADC is turned on at the end of a sleep period, and the receiver can be ready for receiving data immediately using the main ADC because the control parameters are maintained up to date during the sleep period using the auxiliary ADC.
摘要:
A blind phase tracking method for an FBMC receiver. The frequency components of the received signal, after translation into baseband and filtered by an analysis filter bank, is processed by a phase estimation module. The latter estimates for each subcarrier the data carried and, where appropriate, the interference generated by the other data. A simplified symbol is then constructed with the sign of the data thus estimated and, where appropriate, the sign of the interference thus estimated. The phase estimation module determines the phase from the frequency components and simplified symbols. The phase correction is performed by multiplication by a phase correction factor.

Receiver and method in a receiver, for estimating a normalised frequency offset between a transmitter and the receiver in a wireless communication system, based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM. The method comprises receiving a first pilot signal (yr1) and a second pilot signal (yr2) from the transmitter; computing a Karhunen-Loeve approximation λK(φ), up to any finite order K of a log-likelihood function λ(φ), based on the received pilot signals (yr1, yr2); and estimating the frequency offset by calculating a maximum value of the computed Karhunen-Loeve approximation λK(φ).
摘要:
A communication device is operative to generate and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol that includes one or more data and ranging modulation symbols. The data and ranging modulation symbols may be included within different sub-carriers of the OFDM symbol. The OFDM symbol is used to generate an OFDM symbol pair in the frequency domain (FDOM). After conversion from the FDOM to the time domain (TDOM), the OFDM symbol pair may then undergoes post-processing in the TDOM before transmission. Such post-processing may include the addition of cyclic prefix (CP) and cyclic suffix (CS) to the OFDM symbol pair in the TDOM as well as filtering using a window function. The OFDM symbol may be generated as an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) symbol, and two were more OFDM symbols or OFDMA symbols may be arranged in a frame.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for signal acquisition in an OFDM receiver relies on a preamble training sequence to synchronize the receiver in time (e.g. determining the start of a frame) and in frequency (carrier frequency offset compensation). The preamble training sequence has a periodic structure and the method and apparatus perform a cross-correlation technique using a matched filter to achieve time synchronization and/or frequency synchronization and/or channel estimation, the latter being especially useful in multi-antenna receivers for diversity combining purposes. Many advantages derive from performing at least two and preferably all three operations jointly, in terms of latency, hardware complexity, and length of training sequence required to achieve satisfactory convergence on all counts. The periodicity of the training sequence is exploited to reduce considerably the main filter complexity and optionally dynamically adjust carrier offset compensation throughout the filtering process.

摘要:
A method and system of fine timing synchronization for an OFDM signal. The OFDM signal is coarse timing synchronized, generating a synchronization sequence and a CFR (Channel Frequency Response). The synchronization sequence is removed. A correlation coefficient of the correlation between the CFR applied to a number of carriers and the number of carriers with different window shifts is calculated. The largest window shift corresponding to a downsampling factor is indicated by the lowest correlation coefficient greater than a threshold. The CFR is downsampled by the downsampling factor, and an inverse FFT is performed on the downsampled CFR with a reduced number of calculations reduced by the downsampling factor, transforming the CFR into a CIR. A fine timing synchronization position is determined from the CIR and is utilized by an FFT unit within an OFDM receiver to accurately receive OFDM symbols of the OFDM signal.

A system and method for initial ranging in wireless communication systems is provided. A plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) blocks are received by an OFDMA base station transceiver from a plurality of remote user devices in wireless communication with the base station. A ranging subchannel is extracted from the OFDM blocks. The number of active codes in the ranging subchannel is determined, active codes are identified, and carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) are estimated for each active code. Timing delays and power levels for each active code are then estimated. The estimated CFOs, timing delays, and power levels are broadcasted by the base station to the remote user devices, so that the user devices can utilize same to adjust transmission parameters to optimize power levels and synchronize communication with the base station.
