摘要:
A method of wireless transmission for estimating the carrier frequency offset in a base station of a received transmission from a user equipment (UE) accessing a radio access network. The method time de-multiplexes selected symbols of a received sub-frame, computes the frequency-domain symbols received from each antenna through an FFT, de-maps the UEs selected sub-carriers for each antenna, computes metrics associated to a carrier frequency offset hypothesis spanning a searched frequency offset window, repeats these steps on subsequent received sub-frames from the UE over an estimation interval duration, non-coherently accumulates the computed metrics and selects the carrier frequency offset hypothesis with largest accumulated metric amplitude.

摘要:
Transmission of random access preamble structures within a cellular wireless network is based on the use of cyclic shifted constant amplitude zero autocorrelation (“CAZAC”) sequences to generate the random access preamble signal. A pre-defined set of sequences is arranged in a specific order. Within the predefined set of sequences is an ordered group of sequences that is a proper subset of the pre-defined set of sequences. Within a given cell, up to 64 sequences may need to be signaled. In order to minimize the associated overhead due to signaling multiple sequences, only one logical index is transmitted by a base station serving the cell and a user equipment within the cell derives the subsequent indexes according to the pre-defined ordering. Each sequence has a unique logical index. The ordering of sequences is identified by the logical indexes of the sequences, with each logical index uniquely mapped to a generating index. When a UE needs to transmit, it produces a second sequence using the received indication of the logical index of the first sequence and an auxiliary value and then produces a transmission signal by modulating the second sequence. The auxiliary value is selected from one of two sets based on a set indicator broadcast by the eNB

This invention is a method for preamble detection with estimation of UE timing advance (TA) and channel quality information (CQI) which uses a sliding window to detect the preamble and estimate user timing advance and channel quality information. The window length is set to the cyclic prefix length of data transmission. A preamble detection threshold is computed semi-analytically according to noise sample statistics.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a base station sub-system, a method of allocating random access configurations and a method of downlink signaling of random access configurations. In one embodiment, the base station sub-system is for use in a wireless communication system and includes an allocator configured to allocate random access configurations having a plurality of time slots that use a single frequency resource. Additionally, the base station sub-system also includes a transmitter configured to signal at least one index of the random access configurations and a random access receiver balancing in time the processing load of the random access detection of different cells served by the base station.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods for accessing a wireless telecommunications network by transmitting a random access signal. The random access signal includes a random access preamble signal selected from a set of random access preamble signals constructed by cyclically shift selected root CAZAC sequences. The random access signal may be one or more transmission sub-frames in duration, the included random access preamble sequence's length being extended with the signal to provide improved signal detection performance in larger cells and in higher interference environments. The random access signal may include a wide-band pilot signal facilitating base station estimation of up-link frequency response in some situations. Each of the plurality of available random access preamble sequences may be assigned a unique information value. The base station may use the information encoded in the random access preamble to prioritize responses and resource allocations. Random access signal collisions are dealt with by a combination of preamble code space randomness and back-off procedures.

摘要:
UE-initiated accesses within a cellular network are optimized to account for Doppler shift. A user equipment (UE) receives information that designates a particular access slot as high-speed and designates another access slot as low-speed within a given cell. The UE determines its relative speed to a serving base station (NodeB) within the cell. The UE selects either a baseline structure or an alternate structure if the relative speed is less than a threshold value or only an alternate structure if the relative speed exceeds the threshold value. The UE transmits a signal to the NodeB using the selected structure, such that the baseline structure is transmitted only in the designated low-speed access slot and that the alternate structure is transmitted only in the designated high-speed request slot.
