    摘要: In one aspect, a method and apparatus derive channel quality estimates for given subcarriers in an OFDM signal, based on reference signal (RS) or other known-signal measurements made for another set of subcarriers. In at least one embodiment, a wireless communication apparatus implements a method whereby it is configured for receiving reference information on the first set of subcarriers; generating the first channel quality estimates in the frequency domain, based on the received reference information; computing a power delay profile for the first set of subcarriers; and determining the second channel quality estimates either by extrapolating from the first channel quality estimates or as an average of the first channel quality estimates, depending on a delay spread of the power delay profile.

    摘要: A user equipment is operated in a mobile communications system, wherein a network part of the mobile communications system is capable of operating in a synchronized mode or in an asynchronous mode. Operation includes recording timing information about a periodically occurring signal received from a neighboring cell. The recorded timing information is used in a blind detection process that ascertains whether the network part of the mobile communications system is operating in the synchronized mode or in the asynchronous mode by detecting at least whether the periodically occurring signal received from the neighboring cell occurred within a predetermined window of time of a corresponding periodically occurring signal received from a serving cell. The detected operating mode of the network part of the mobile communications system is used for controlling subsequent operation of the user equipment.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) in a cellular telecommunications system is able to detect the uplink/downlink configuration of a detected neighboring cell by receiving a signal from the neighboring cell. A characteristic of the received signal is detected and used as an indicator in a blind detection process to identify one or more downlink slots in the received signal. Known pilot signals in the identified one or more downlink slots can then be used to obtain a signal power measurement of the received signal. The blind detection process is also capable of detecting whether a slot of a neighboring cell's signal is a downlink unicast slot or a Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network slot.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus in a receiver for estimating a received power of at least one signal having a pattern known to the receiver, the signal having being transmitted by at least one antenna. A method includes using a first method of measuring the received power based on the pattern, the first method generating a first sequence of first power estimates; determining whether a predetermined first event has occurred; and if the first event has occurred, changing to a second method of measuring the received power, the second method being different from the first method and generating a second sequence of second power estimates.

    摘要: User Equipment in a wireless communication network considers the downlink channel bandwidth in setting out of synchronization (OoS) and in synchronization (IS) thresholds and filter durations. Additionally, the UE may consider transmitter antenna configuration—that is, the number of transmitting antennas in a MIMO system—in setting the OoS and IS thresholds. The UE determines it is OoS when a monitored, filtered, downlink channel quality metric, such as reference symbol SINR, is below the OoS threshold.
