    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A frequency offset of a received signal comprising a number of subsequently received data symbols is estimated. A first estimate is determined from a calculated change in phase of the received signal between two received symbols having a first time distance between them. At least one further estimate is determined from a calculated change in phase of the received signal between two received symbols having a different time distance. A frequency periodicity is determined for each estimate from the distance between the two received symbols from which the estimate was determined. A set of integer values is determined for each estimate so that frequency values calculated for each estimate as the frequency periodicity multiplied by the integer value added to the estimate are at least approximately equal to each other, and a corrected estimate of the frequency offset is determined from the integer values.

    摘要: A mobile station comprises a radio communication unit (22) for communicating with a radio communication network for finding carriers on which transmissions are being made in active transmission intervals of a transmission cycle following a discontinuous transmission scheme. The radio communication unit is configured to select a carrier based on probability settings provided for each carrier of the scheme, scan the selected carrier during a time range that is a fraction of the transmission cycle, confirm the presence of the carrier if transmissions are detected and otherwise to adjust the probability settings of the carriers based on the timing of the scanning and the position of the carrier active transmission interval in the transmission sequence and repeat the selection of carrier based on probability settings and adjusting of probability settings until the presence of a carrier has been confirmed.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting the radio access technology (RAT) employed in a received signal prior to performing a cell search. The RAT detection method may be used to identify the most likely RAT employed for each candidate frequency identified in an initial frequency scan. Once the most likely RAT is identified, the mobile communication device can then attempt synchronization according to the procedures for the most likely RAT. Identifying the RAT prior to the cell search reduces the number of synchronization attempts and, consequently, the time needed to perform the cell search.

    摘要: Allocation of cell IDs in a cellular communication system includes determining a candidate allocation pattern of primary and secondary synchronization signal sequences for a candidate set of two or more cells. A performance metric is applied to the candidate allocation pattern to ascertain a performance indicator for the candidate allocation pattern, wherein the performance indicator indicates a quality of positioning performance for the candidate set of two or more cells. Cell-specific positioning performance for each cell in the candidate set of cells can be considered to derive the performance indicator of the candidate allocation pattern. If the performance indicator indicates acceptable positioning performance, primary and secondary synchronization signal sequences are allocated to respective ones of base stations corresponding to the two or more cells in accordance with the candidate allocation pattern. Otherwise, the process is repeated for a different candidate allocation pattern.
