摘要:
A method of tracking on-time errors may include producing first and second metrics from accumulated signal samples of a received data frame, and calculating a sum of, and a difference between, the first and second metrics. The calculated difference and sum values may be used to determine an estimated on-time error for the received data frame and a corrected timing error control value to be applied to the on-time error. The accuracy of the estimated on-time error may be evaluated based a signal quality metric to determine whether the corrected timing error control value is to be applied to the estimated on-time error or whether the timing adjustment for the on-time error is to be stopped.

A method for synchronizing the time and frequency of an incoming packet of transmitted information with a receiver in a wireless communication system includes a synchronization method which may reduce the adverse effects of delay spread introduced by a bad channel. The method includes assigning a plurality of samples in a received synchronization segment of an incoming packet to corresponding bins, determining a number of phase test failures in each bin, and selecting the bin having the fewest number of phase test failures and the fewest number of small samples for synchronizing the time of the incoming packet with the receiver. Additionally, the method calculates the phase drift for the selected bin so that the frequency of the incoming packet is synchronized with that of the receiver.

A mobile station (MS) to determine signal quality values is disclosed. The MS may include a transmitter and a receiver and the receiver may determine a signal power value, a noise power value, and an interference power value of a signal received from antennas. The receiver may determine the signal power value and the interference value using a second preamble included in a super-frame of the signal, wherein the second preamble includes cell information. The receiver may determine a noise power value of the signal received from the plurality of antennas using unoccupied orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) tones of a first preamble included in the super-frame of the signal, wherein the first preamble includes carrier information. The receiver may also use the fractional frequency reuse (FFR) and MIMO features to determine signal quality values using the signal power value, the noise power value, and the interference power value.

Techniques for use in a blind detection process of information elements. Channels can be allocated into groups. For each group, resource blocks of each channel can be further divided into subspaces. A base station may communicate a number of channels in a group, a number of subspaces allocated to a group of channels, and a bit shift value to all mobile stations via non-specific user channels to a mobile station. The mobile station uses a blind detection scheme and the number of channels allocated per group, a number of sub-spaces per group of channels, and a bit shift value to locate an information element assigned to the mobile station. A number of blind detection trials may be capped to a sum of a number of channels for all allocated groups.

A method may include determining whether to use a candidate path in acquiring a signal based on a path energy value at the candidate path and a path energy detection threshold. The path energy detection threshold may be less than a preamble detection threshold, and the preamble detection threshold may be used in detecting whether a candidate path carries a preamble.

In a method of tracking on-time errors in a wireless communication system, first and second metrics may be produced from accumulated signal samples of a received data frame, and a sum of, and a difference between, the first and second metrics may be calculated. The calculated difference and sum values may be used to determine an estimated on-time error for the received data frame and a corrected timing error control value to be applied to the on-time error. The accuracy of the estimated on-time error may be evaluated based a signal quality metric to determine whether the corrected timing error control value is to be applied to the estimated on-time error or whether the timing adjustment for the on-time error is to be stopped.

Embodiments of an eNB and method of transmitting PDCCHs are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the eNB may be configured to transmit PDCCHs that are based on a UE-specific reference signal (i.e., a UE-RS). In these embodiments, the UEs may be able to demodulate their PDCCH using a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) that is specific to the UE (e.g., instead of a common reference signal). The PDCCHs disclosed herein may be suitable the Uu interface of an LTE-A system.

A method for performing measurement by a radio apparatus is presented. In one embodiment, the method includes determining raw measurements (e.g., a channel estimation and a noise variance estimation) of a subband and determining a rank indicator (RI) without requiring a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) search. The method includes calculating, based at least on the raw measurements, a mean instantaneous capacity (MIC) for the subband and determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) and a PMI based at least on the MIC. In one embodiment, the method uses subband-based measurements for performing feedback/measurement.

In the method, a detector retrieves certain signal samples from a data frame that are accumulated in a buffer of a base station receiver. The detector generates a first metric representing a first signal sample and a second metric representing a second signal sample, and calculates a sum of the first and second metrics and a difference between the first and second metrics. A calculator uses the sum to calculate at least one threshold value, and a comparator compares the difference to the calculated threshold value to determine an on-time error for the frame. Based on the determined on-time error, an adjuster adjusts timing for the on-time error, and feeds back an on-time error correction to the buffer for subsequently received data frames.

The present invention provides a receiver for correcting frequency errors in a receiver of a coherently demodulated communication system, whereby two simultaneous counts are performed for a plurality of symbol comprising an incoming packet of information. In particular, a first count is performed where a counter increases or decreases based on the comparison of symbol phases from outputs of two components of the receiver. Simultaneously, a second counter increments sequentially for each symbol processed. A frequency increment or correction is applied when the first counter reaches a threshold, resetting the first and second counters for subsequent symbols. The receiver may reduce frequency offset estimation errors which degrade channel performance, as compared to algorithms currently utilized to correct frequency errors in wireless communications networks and/or systems. Moreover, a significant improvement in packet error rate may be attainable in accordance with the aforementioned receiver.
