摘要:
Methods and wireless receivers (5) are disclosed for estimating a propagation channel response that includes two closely spaced delays. An exemplary method comprises selecting (720) a plurality of receiver processing delays for sampling the received signal so that that the receiver processing delays span two closely spaced channel response delays, and calculating (730) an average channel coefficient magnitude over at least a first number of time slots of the received signal, for each of the receiver processing delays. The exemplary method further comprises estimating (740) delay timing for each of the two channel response delays, based on the average channel coefficient magnitudes and a multi-delay superposition model for the channel response, and calculating (750) complex channel gains for each of the two channel response delays, based on the estimated delay timings and channel response measurements taken over a second number of time slots that is less than the first number of time slots.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for adapting a current path delay estimate for path delay tracking. The method comprises selecting an operating mode, determining a set of hypothesized path delays based on said operating mode, computing a metric for each hypothesized path delay, and adapting a current path delay estimate based on the computed metrics for the hypothesized path delays.
摘要:
A technique is provided for determining the configuration of a sub-frame having data symbols including cyclic-prefixes. In some communication standards such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard, a plurality of possible configurations exist for a sub-frame, with each configuration being identifiable by a certain cyclic-prefix length. In an exemplary method realization, the technique includes receiving a data signal comprising the sub-frame, evaluating one or more hypotheses of the cyclic prefix length to produce one or more corresponding evaluation results, and, based on the evaluation results, deciding on a most-likely cyclic prefix length, according to which the sub-frame configuration is determined. The hypothesis evaluation may involve autocorrelation and cyclic accumulation of samples of the received data signal.
摘要:
For synchronizing one or more receivers (E) to a transmitter (S) within a transmission system, the transmitter (S) inserts a special synchronization train into the data stream. The synchronization train is formed of at least two different symbol sequences (A, B), which are transmitted periodically in alternation.

In a method of digital data transmission in a wireless communication network in which a controlling communication takes place within a fixed bandwidth of a channel from a master station to all subscribers (downlink) with the help of a fixed signal frame, and the beginning of the fixed signal frame is marked by a special frame synchronization signal detectable by the subscribers, an occupancy of at least one subband by transmission signals and a non-occupancy of at least one complementary subband by transmission signals is used as a frame synchronization signal.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for adapting a current path delay estimate for path delay tracking. In order to determine the path delay an operating mode is selected and a set of hypothesized path delays are determined based on said operating mode. A metric for each hypothesized path delay is determined, and a current path delay estimate is adapted based on the computed metrics for the hypothesized path delays.
