A transmitted OFDM signal is detected in a receiver of a wireless communication system. The receiver has at least two receiver branches, each comprising an antenna, a front end receiver, a Discrete Fourier Transform unit, and a channel estimator. The receiver further comprises a detector for detecting received data symbols. The method comprises the steps of determining a system bandwidth associated with the transmitted signal; comparing the determined system bandwidth with a predetermined value; determining, if the system bandwidth is lower than the predetermined value, channel estimates separately for each branch, and detecting received data symbols from the received signals and corresponding channel estimates; and calculating, if the system bandwidth is higher than the predetermined value, a weighted sum of signals from each branch, determining a combined channel estimate, and detecting received data symbols from the weighted sum and the combined channel estimate.

A receiver is operated in a first power mode, for example a high power mode, during a first portion of a particular connection state (for example, a RRC_CONNECTED state in LTE when the UE receiver is on) of a communication protocol being used by the telecommunications network, and a second power mode during a second portion of the particular connection state, for example a low power mode.

In a system using spatial precoding, in the event that reliable channel state information is unavailable, a transmitting node uses an extended transmission mode, in which the precoders applied to data within each of several groups of time-frequency resources vary according to frequency. The extended transmission mode creates a frequency-selective variation in precoders, which may appear to be random, while using DMRS-based transmission. This variation is achieved by applying different precoders to the resource elements carrying data, using a pattern of precoder variation that is known to the receiving device. The precoding applied to DMRS within a given group of time-frequency resources is held constant—thus, the varying precoders within a given group of time-frequency resources are only applied to data elements, not to the DMRS resource elements.

In a system using spatial precoding, in the event that reliable channel state information is unavailable, a transmitting node artificially creates a randomization of the precoders applied to the transmitted signal. Different precoding vectors are applied to both transmitted data and demodulation reference signals for each of several groups of time-frequency resources, where the precoding vectors vary randomly or pseudo-randomly from each group of time-frequency resources to the next frequency-adjacent group or groups, or to the next time-adjacent group or groups, or both. In an LTE system in particular, this randomization of precoders can be applied at the resource-block level or, at the level of the Precoding Resource block Group (PRG), for example. Thus, the precoders applied to the transmitted signal vary from one PRG to the next, in a random or pseudo-random fashion.

Decoding a received Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) signal that occupies a first set of subcarriers in a radio frequency spectrum includes ascertaining an interference model that represents interference occurring in the first set of subcarriers caused by a transmitted OFDM signal that occupies a second set of subcarriers in the radio frequency spectrum. A set of scaled soft values is produced that represents information conveyed by the received OFDM signal over the first set of subcarriers, wherein each scaled soft value in the set of scaled soft values corresponds to a respective one of the subcarriers in the first set of subcarriers, and wherein a scaling amount applied to each of the scaled soft values is based on a corresponding level of interference in said respective one of the subcarriers as indicated by the interference model. A decoding process is performed that generates detected data from the scaled soft values.

In a method and a mobile communications receiver for processing signals from a first cell and a second cell a timing of the signal from the first cell and the second cell is obtained. A timing difference (δ) between the timings of signals from the first and the second cell is determined and based on that a timing (κ) for a window for discrete Fourier transform, DFT, processing is adjusted. DFT processing of the signals using the timing (κ) of the DFT window is then performed.

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.
