    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for frequency adjustment in a wireless network, particularly a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN). Embodiments of a method performed by a User Equipment (UE) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a UE for compensating for a Doppler shift in a wireless network comprises obtaining, from a network node, a characterization of Doppler variations in a particular cell. The method further comprises tuning a local frequency reference, fRef, of the UE to a received downlink frequency for the particular cell and adjusting the local frequency reference, fRef, over time according to the pre-calculated characterization of Doppler variations in the particular cell. In this manner, the communication between the UE and the network node in the presence of large and varying Doppler shifts is enabled. Embodiments related to compensating for timing drift are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method for determining a clock offset between local clocks of at least one pair of radio units, includes performing two-way transmissions between at least one pair of radio units using signals including selected frequencies, determining phase information regarding the signals received at the radio units, determining phase differences based on the phase information, determining at least one clock offset variable, and determining an estimated maximum error in the determined clock offset variable based on maximum errors of the phase differences to determine if the maximum error of the determined clock offset variable allows the clock offset value to be unambiguously determined.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for Doppler nulling configured for security. The system may include a receiver or transmitter node. The receiver or transmitter node may include a communications interface with an antenna element and a controller. The controller may include one or more processors and have information of own node velocity and own node orientation relative to a common reference frame. The receiver or transmitter node may be time synchronized to apply Doppler corrections to signals, the Doppler corrections associated with the receiver or transmitter node's own motions relative to the common reference frame, the Doppler corrections applied using Doppler null steering along Null directions based on a protocol. The protocol may include a protocol modulation, such as a modulation of the signals for security purposes.

    摘要: Methods and systems for managing data transmissions are disclosed. An example method can comprise determining a plurality of time allocations for a time cycle. The plurality of time allocations can comprise a first time allocation which can be determined based on an information rate, a committed information rate, an excess information rate, an effective bandwidth rate, other factors, or a combination thereof. Data can be received from multiple sources into a buffer, for example, and can be processed within a time cycle if processing the data will not exceed the time allocation.

    摘要: A system and method to improve the accuracy of the measurement of round trip delay in a high accuracy distance measurement (HADM) is disclosed. In one embodiment, the traditional parabolic estimation is used. However, an estimation error is used to compensate for the inaccuracy of the parabolic estimation. This correction may reduce the standard deviation of a measurement by 50% or more. In another embodiment, the parabolic estimation is not used; rather, a different estimation is used, such as an absolute value estimation. In some tests, the absolute value estimation improved the mean measurement value and reduced the standard deviation by 50%.
