The invention proposes a way of inserting an analog test signal during normal reception into analog blocks of an OFDM receiver in such a way that the reception is either not corrupted at all, or only very little. This is achieved either by inserting the analog test signal in time or frequency where it does not corrupt the received signal, or by accounting for the interfering analog test signal in the decoding process.

Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for optimizing voltage use in digital circuits. This can be obtained by creating situations for digital circuits such that the effective critical path (ECP) can be used such as, for example, the case where a digital circuit includes a plurality of voltage domains powered by individual and possibly different voltage sources. This can then reduce voltage use in digital circuits.

A coarse estimate of a location of an information carrying part of a symbol in a received signal in a telecommunication system is generated. This involves generating correlation values by correlating the received signal with a delayed received signal. A maximum correlation value of the correlation values is identified, and a duration in time during which the correlation values are greater than or equal to a predetermined percentage of the maximum correlation value is identified, wherein the duration in time begins at a first moment in time and ends at a second moment in time. The coarse estimate of the location of the peak correlation value is set equal to a moment in time between the first moment in time and the second moment in time, for example, a midpoint between the first moment in time and the second moment in time.

The present invention relates to method and arrangement in cellular mobile communication systems, in particular for handling of a physical random access channel for example in a Long Term Evolution communication network. By sending to at least one user equipment, UE, in a communication network cell an un-solicited speculative random access response, RAR, message comprising information relating to at least one of pre-amble identifier, allocated UE identifier, and uplink resource allocation data for L2/L3 message, it is possible to reduce the complexity of the access node, e.g. an eNodeB.
摘要:
Digital IQ imbalance estimation and compensation is facilitated by shaping the frequency response of receiver branches. In particular, in a multi-carrier receiver, the frequency response of signal processing elements in at least one receiver branch is set to not fully attenuate received signals in a frequency band of interest. The frequency band of interest is greater than the carrier bandwidth of the received signal processed by that receiver branch. In some embodiments, the received signal is not attenuated, and adjacent interfering signals are partially attenuated. This allows information regarding the interfering signals to appear in an IQ imbalance-induced, inter-carrier image of the signals in anther receiver branch, facilitating digital estimation and compensation of IQ imbalance.
摘要:
Inter-carrier interference (ICI) cancellation in an OFDMA receiving signals from two transmitters is performed by identifying the transmitted sub-carriers that cause the largest ICI to sub-carriers received from other transmitters, and removing the ICI contribution from these sub-carriers. This may be accomplished by calculating the ICI terms only based on the interfering sub-carrier and the frequency offset. Alternatively, the transmissions causing the ICI are demodulated, the ICI on other signals is then determined and subtracted, and other signals are then demodulated. Which transmissions cause the largest ICI on others depends on the relative strength of the corresponding sub-carriers and how much orthogonality is lost. The latter might be due to frequency error, Doppler spread, or a combination of both.
摘要:
A method of processing a set of input data values comprises the steps of providing said input data values serially to circuitry comprising a number of memory elements; and performing in said circuitry a transform function to obtain a set of transformed data values. The method further comprises the steps of delaying a subset of said set of input data values under use of said memory elements; providing a modified set of data values by adding individual delayed data values to individual non-delayed data values from said set of input data values; and performing said transform function on said modified set of data values. In this way a transform function can be evaluated at fewer output data values than available input data values without increasing the memory requirements considerably.
摘要:
A technique for calibrating a receiver apparatus comprising at least one analog signal processing component and an intermediate frequency, or IF, mixer for converting IF signals comprising an in-phase, or I, signal and a quadrature-phase, or Q, signal to baseband frequency signals is provided. The IF mixer is arranged downstream of the at least one analog signal processing component. A method implementation of the technique comprises the steps of determining, in a digital processing domain downstream of the IF mixer, a metric which is affected by a frequency dependency of an imbalance between I and the Q signal, or IQ-imbalance, over a signal bandwidth, generating, based on the metric thus determined, a calibration signal configured to at least partially compensate a frequency-dependency of the IQ imbalance, and feeding the calibration signal to the at least one analog signal processing component so as to calibrate the at least one analog signal processing component.
摘要:
The control word input to a Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) is modified to reduce non-monotonic regions in the output response of the DCO. The DCO may be included in a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) circuit for generating an output signal that locks onto either the phase or frequency of a reference signal input. By modifying the control word input to the DCO to avoid non-monotonic regions in the DCO output response, PLL phase noise is reduced. In one embodiment, the control word is modified by reordering or skipping control word values input to the DCO that correspond to non-monotonic regions in the output response of the DCO circuit.
