    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless synchronization are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for synchronizing a slave device to a master device, comprising: receiving, at a local device, a master device reference signal in the form of a modulated radio frequency (RF) signal from a master device; receiving, at the local device, a master device time stamp from the master device; computing a time offset of the master device reference signal relative to a local reference oscillator signal of a local oscillator, using the master device time stamp; computing a frequency offset of the master device reference signal relative to the local reference oscillator signal; generating a local reference oscillator control signal based on the computed time offset and the computer frequency offset; and adjusting the local reference oscillator to maintain a frequency and time lock with the master device reference signal at the local device.

    Abstract: A synchronizing radio receiver is disclosed, comprising: an analog baseband receive chain and a digital baseband receive chain. The digital baseband receive chain may comprise an analog to digital converter, a frame synchronization module, a frequency synchronization module, and an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) demodulator, wherein the frequency synchronization module is configured to cross-correlate a plurality of in-phase and quadrature samples to generate a synchronization signal and output the synchronization signal to a local oscillator in the analog baseband receive chain. The digital baseband receive chain may also further comprise a carrier frequency offset (CFO)/sampling frequency offset (SFO) correction module coupled to a frequency synchronization module configured to cross-correlate a plurality of in-phase and quadrature samples, with the CFO/SFO correction module configured to apply correction in a digital domain before outputting a corrected signal to the OFDM demodulator.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for blind frequency synchronization. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: downconverting a received orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal to baseband; identifying, from the downconverted received signal, a series of OFDM symbols in the time domain; performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on a block of several time domain samples to turn the time domain OFDM symbols into frequency domain OFDM symbols, one sample per subcarrier in the received OFDM signal; computing a cross-correlation between in-phase and quadrature samples in each subcarrier and for each frequency domain OFDM symbol, wherein the cross-correlation may be computed as a sum of products of either squares or absolute values of the in-phase and quadrature samples; and summing the computed cross-correlation across the series of symbols and across all subcarriers to determine a frequency offset for the received OFDM signal.

    Abstract: A self-organizing mesh network and protocol, herein identified as the HSN Mesh or Self-Expanding Mesh (SEM), enables dynamic addition and subtraction of mesh nodes by allowing nodes to claim a conflict-free slot for transmission. Slot allocation will not be fixed or predetermined and will be performed in a decentralized manner that suits the existing SEM mesh structure which does not have any strict hierarchy or central coordinator nodes. The dynamic slot allocation strategy will allow the seamless expansion of the mesh. The disclosed self-organizing mesh is: a distributed self organizing mobile mesh network; highly reliable and resilient mesh through redundant connections and built in self-discovery; and a peer to peer network with flat hierarchy, meaning no need for central hub or coordinator node. Distributed slot reusability ensures efficient slot allocation. synchronized mesh allows to deploy time critical applications

    Abstract: Systems and methods for canceling carrier frequency offset (CFO) and sampling frequency offset (SFO) in a radio receive chain are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: receiving a sub-frame via a radio receive chain in a time domain; performing per-user filtering on the sub-frame to obtain a signal for a particular user; obtaining a CFO correction signal; adding the CFO correction signal in the time domain to perform a CFO correction step on the signal for the particular user; performing an FFT on the output of the CFO correction step to obtain samples in a frequency domain; adding an SFO correction signal in the frequency domain to perform an SFO correction to the output of FFT step; and demodulating the output of SFO correction step, thereby performing CFO and SFO correction while reducing inter-carrier interference (ICI).
