    摘要: The invention relates to a technique for controlling a synchronization of a terminal device (10) with a wireless network, e.g. an LTE network, wherein data are transmitted as a continuous data signal on a radio interface (11, 12) while being processed block-wise in the terminal (10). A method embodiment of the technique for achieving at least a downlink (11) synchronization comprises establishing a time-address mapping (TAM, 36) indicative of an association of a reference time value of an internal clock (32) with a reference address in the reception data buffer (16); determining an address of data samples representing the received data block in the reception data buffer (16) based on the time-address mapping; and initiating a block-wise reading of the data block from the reception data buffer (16) based on the determined address.

    摘要: A technique for determining a frequency offset between components of a communication network based on a Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation (CAZAC) sequence is described. A method implementation of this technique comprises a provision of a set of correlation signals at different frequencies, with each correlation signal being indicative of a specific frequency offset hypothesis and comprising the CAZAC sequence. Once a synchronization signal comprising the CAZAC sequence is received, this synchronization signal is correlated with each of the correlation signals to obtain a correlation result for each frequency offset hypothesis. In a next step, at least one of the frequency offset hypotheses is selected based on a comparison of the correlation results. The frequency offset may then be determined based on the at least one selected frequency offset hypothesis.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a method for estimating the time-dispersion of a channel comprising D subchannels, wherein one computes from a received signal a set of estimated Channel Transfer Factors (CTF's) Ĥ[ν], where ν(0≦ν≦D) is the subchannel number, said method comprising a step of calculating, for a predetermined strictly positive integer d, a correlation factor Cd representing the correlations, both in amplitude and in phase, between pairs Ĥ[ν] and Ĥ[ν+d] of said computed CTF estimates. By an appropriate choice of d, the time-dispersion resolution can be adapted to most prevalent channels. The correlation is optionally corrected according to the mean channel estimation signal-to-noise ratio. This method can be used for many applications where knowing the time-dispersion characteristics of a channel is required, and is, for example, particularly suitable for designing a channel estimation filter, and for link adaptation. Application to devices and apparatus implementing these methods.

    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.
