摘要： A transmitted OFDM signal is detected in a receiver of a wireless communication system. The receiver has at least two receiver branches, each comprising an antenna, a front end receiver, a Discrete Fourier Transform unit, and a channel estimator. The receiver further comprises a detector for detecting received data symbols. The method comprises the steps of determining a system bandwidth associated with the transmitted signal; comparing the determined system bandwidth with a predetermined value; determining, if the system bandwidth is lower than the predetermined value, channel estimates separately for each branch, and detecting received data symbols from the received signals and corresponding channel estimates; and calculating, if the system bandwidth is higher than the predetermined value, a weighted sum of signals from each branch, determining a combined channel estimate, and detecting received data symbols from the weighted sum and the combined channel estimate.

摘要： Channel estimation is performed by user equipment operating in a mobile communications system. Estimation involves receiving a signal and analyzing it to detect a signal component from a neighboring cell. Depending on outcome, one or both of the following are determined: whether a power level of the signal component from the neighboring cell exceeds a power threshold level; and whether a difference between timing parameters of the neighboring cell's signal component and that from a serving cell is less than a timing threshold level. If the power level of the neighboring cell's signal component exceeds the power threshold level and the difference between the timing parameters of the signal components from the neighboring cell and that of the serving cell is less than the timing threshold level, then a joint channel estimation process is performed. Otherwise, a single channel estimation process is performed.

摘要： A frequency error of received signals in an OFDM receiver of a wireless communications system is determined. Symbols of a given duration are transmitted as cells on sub-carrier frequencies; and some of the cells are pilot cells modulated with reference information. The method comprises the steps of selecting at least three pilot cells (p0, p1, p2) from different symbols and different sub-carriers; determining the symbol and the sub-carrier on which each pilot cell is transmitted; determining for each pilot cell a phase difference between received and generated signals; calculating therefrom a change in phase difference (Φx) caused by the frequency error; and calculating the frequency error from the calculated change in phase difference (Φx). In this way a receiver capable of determining a frequency error also in situations where only a short data burst, such as a single resource block, is available for the estimation is provided.

摘要： In a heterogeneous network, low power cells are detected by correlating a first and second signal originating from an unknown cell, such as synchronization signals, e.g., SSS received in a first and second time period (e.g., subframes 0 and 5 of a frame with corresponding sets of possible SSS signals. The cell identities for the candidate cells can be used to determine corresponding reference symbol sequences for the candidate cells. The final determination of the cell identity is then made by correlating a third signal originating from the unknown cell, such as a reference signal received in a third time period (e.g., an almost blank subframe or a broadcast subframe) with the set of reference signals for the candidate cells. The correct cell identity is determined to be the cell identity yielding the greatest correlation with its corresponding reference signal.

摘要： A receiver receives and front-end processes a plurality of component carrier signals, each carrier spaced apart in frequency. The digitized, baseband component carrier signals are inspected to determine estimates of timing offsets between the carriers. A control unit selects a first component carrier signal having data scheduled to the receiver. If data is scheduled to the receiver on other component carrier signals, the control unit generates timing and frequency offset adjustment control signals to time- and frequency-align each other component carrier signal having relevant data, to the first component carrier signal. All the relevant component carrier signals are then combined, and a single OFDM symbol, spanning all the relevant component carriers, is presented to an FFT for symbol detection.
