    摘要: Apparatus and methods for estimating the frequency of a sleep or slow clock using a fast clock, such as a temperature compensated crystal oscillator. The disclosed apparatus include an estimator having a first counter that receives sleep clock synchronized pulses issuing each cycle of the sleep clock period, yet are synchronized to a fast clock. The slow clock synchronized pulses are counted up to a predetermined number; whereupon a full count signal is issued. A second counter receives the full count signal and increments each time the full count signal is received. A third counter counts fast clock cycles until the full count signal occurs. Based on the number of counts of the slow and fast clock cycles, the frequency of the slow clock may be determined using only the domain of the fast clock for performing the measurement thereby tying accuracy of the measurement to the accuracy of the fast clock. The disclosed apparatus also include an integrated circuit and a transceiver employing the disclosed estimator. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method for controlling gain in a wireless repeater includes computing a gain control metric indicative of a loop gain of the repeater and detecting changes in a signal power of a gain control input signal where the gain control input signal is taken from any point in the feedback loop of the repeater. When a large power swing in the gain control input signal is detected, the method operates to discard at least a portion of each gain control metric measurement for a first duration before continuing with computing the gain control metric. In another embodiment, the method may include discarding samples of the gain control input signal used in computing the gain control metric for a first duration when a large power swing in the gain control input signal is detected.

    摘要: A wireless repeater incorporates a gain management block to implement a multi-parameter gain management algorithm. The gain management algorithm receives gain settings from at least a gain control metric for stability and output signal quality and signal headroom values associated with circuitry of the repeater. The gain management block provides secure and robust boot-up of the repeater as well as oscillation detection and prevention. Furthermore, the gain management block implements repeater stability control, output signal-to-noise level control, uplink and downlink gain balance control and compensation for device constraints.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a first repeater configures a beacon signal that identifies the first repeater to one or more other repeaters. The first repeater transmits the configured beacon signal at a given transmission power level to the one or more other repeaters. The transmitted beacon signal is received at least by a second repeater. The second repeater reduces interference associated with other transmissions from the first repeater, such as retransmissions of donor signals, based on the received beacon signal.

    摘要: A method for estimating a feedback channel for a wireless repeater detects changes in a power of a remote signal. When a large power swing in the remote signal is detected, the method operates to discard samples or blocks of samples of the pilot and receive signals and a final channel estimate is generated using undiscarded samples of the pilot and receive signals. Alternately, sub channel estimates are generated using individual blocks of the pilot samples and receive samples. When a large power swing in the remote signal is detected, the method operates to discard one or more sub channel estimates and a final channel estimate is generated using undiscarded sub channel estimates.

    摘要: A wireless repeater includes a gain control metric computation block to compute a gain control metric for use in controlling the variable gain of the repeater. The gain control metric is computed by downsampling the gain control input signal to the gain control metric computation block and also downsampling the computed correlation and normalization terms. The gain control metric may be further enhanced by filtering the computed metric values using linear or non-linear filtering.
