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: Described in this document are ways to accomplish high resolution and high dynamic range Doppler-Effect measurements for use in wireless communications and other applications such as positioning. Doppler Effect (interchangeably called Doppler shift or Doppler frequency shift) measurements have traditionally been done with purpose-built devices, such as pulse-based radars. Presented in this document are alternative ways to incorporate Doppler frequency shift measurement using modulated carrier signals with a conventional radio, without additional hardware.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for frequency domain correction, time domain correction, and combinations thereof. Each Long Term Evolution (LTE) uplink residual frequency offset can be determined with less than 1 part per billion accuracy simultaneously and used for frequency offset correction. The disclosed method utilizes the same modulated signals for data and control as the 3GPP LTE wireless standard and can be embedded directly into the base station (downlink) PHY without additional hardware. The use of the disclosed methods provide multiple ways to simultaneously improve the uplink data throughput for every user in an LTE multiple access wireless system.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for synchronization, comprising obtaining baseband signal samples of a baseband information signal having an in-phase signal sample and a quadrature signal sample, the baseband information signal having been generated by mixing a received modulated carrier signal with a local oscillator (LO) signal having an LO frequency, the modulated carrier signal being an in-phase signal and quadrature signal having a substantially uncorrelated nature and derived from different input data sets; determining an offset frequency rotation based on an estimated residual correlation between the in-phase signal samples and the quadrature signal samples; and, deriving synchronization information from the offset frequency rotation, wherein the received modulated carrier signal is a quadrature-modulated signal with arbitrary orthogonal in-phase and quadrature signal components.
