摘要:
Methods and apparatus for automatic frequency control in wireless receivers configured to simultaneously receive multiple carrier signals at distinct radio frequencies are disclosed. An exemplary wireless device comprises at least first and second radio front-end circuits configured to receive first and second wireless communication signals transmitted via first and second radio-frequency carriers at distinct first and second radio frequencies, respectively, a control processor configured to designate a master carrier signal and a slave carrier signal from among the received wireless communication signals, and a frequency error estimation circuit configured to estimate a first receiver frequency error using the received master carrier signal. The control processor is further configured to calculate a second receiver frequency error from the first receiver frequency error, for use in compensating one or more receiver processes performed on the slave carrier signal.

The present application relates to a method of a wireless device for interference cancellation (IC) in a cellular radio network system comprising a serving network node serving said wireless device. The method comprises using a first IC method for at least partly removing a time aligned symbol of an interfering radio signal from at least a first symbol of a time slot received from the serving network node. The method also comprises using a second IC method, different from the first IC method, for at least partly removing a non-time aligned symbol of an interfering radio signal from at least a second symbol of said time slot received from the serving network node.

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for transmission from a non-reference transceiver to a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system is generated by ascertaining a general timing for transmission of OFDM symbols, in which the general timing is associated with a reference transceiver. A UE timing relative to the general timing is ascertained. An initial resource element (RE) value is adjusted by a pre-compensating amount to obtain a pre-compensated RE value, in which the pre-compensating amount is based on the UE timing relative to the general timing. The pre-compensated resource element value is supplied as one of a plurality of values to be transmitted. An IFFT is performed on the plurality of values to be transmitted to obtain pre-compensated initial signal information. A cyclic prefix is appended to the pre-compensated initial signal information to form an OFDM symbol for transmission from the non-reference transceiver to the UE.

A multi-branch OFDM receiver combines diversity signals received over different receiver branches using interference rejection combining. The receiver generates first channel estimates associated with a serving base station, second channel estimates associated with at least one non-serving base station, and a time offset between the serving base station and non-serving base station. The receiver computes a noise covariance matrix based on the second channel estimates and the time offset, and then combines the diversity signals received over different branches using the first channel estimates and the noise covariance matrix.

A receiver receives and front-end processes a plurality of component carrier signals, each carrier spaced apart in frequency. The digitized, baseband component carrier signals are inspected to determine estimates of timing offsets between the carriers. A control unit selects a first component carrier signal having data scheduled to the receiver. If data is scheduled to the receiver on other component carrier signals, the control unit generates timing and frequency offset adjustment control signals to time- and frequency-align each other component carrier signal having relevant data, to the first component carrier signal. All the relevant component carrier signals are then combined, and a single OFDM symbol, spanning all the relevant component carriers, is presented to an FFT for symbol detection.

A wireless communication system receiver receives and processes a signal comprising at least two component carriers carrying data scheduled to the receiver and having center frequencies spaced apart by at least one component carrier frequency difference. Each component carrier comprises a number of subcarriers spaced apart by a system subcarrier frequency spacing. A common divisor is obtained for the at least one component carrier frequency difference and the system subcarrier frequency spacing. A symbol is received on the subcarriers of the component carriers and downconverted to baseband to produce a baseband symbol. A block of padding values is inserted in the baseband symbol to produce a padded symbol. The length of the block of padding values is such that intermediate subcarriers are inserted to yield a subcarrier frequency spacing for the padded symbol equal to the common divisor. Finally the padded symbol is Fast Fourier Transform, FFT, processed.

According to the teachings presented herein, a method and apparatus provide a reduced search space for blindly decoding a message included in a signal received at a communication receiver, where the message has an unknown format. Improving blind detection efficiency in this manner offers numerous advantages, including but not limited to lower power consumption through reduced processing overhead, and lower power consumption through expanded sleep opportunities. As a non-limiting example, the communication receiver comprises a mobile station configured for operation according to Long Term Evolution (LTE) standards, as promulgated by the 3GPP for E-UTRA systems, where the mobile station is configured to reduce a search space of DCI message decoding by determining message format likelihoods and blindly decoding a received DCI message based on the message format likelihoods.
摘要:
A pre-coding matrix is determined in an OFDMA, multiple transmit antenna communication system having a number of sub-carriers grouped into a number, M, of resource blocks. This involves determining a frequency selectivity of a channel through which received signals have propagated. A number N of selected resource blocks is then determined as a function of the frequency selectivity the N selected resource blocks being those for which pre-coding matrices will be determined, wherein N
