    Abstract: Described is a method of processing a signal received at an uplink control information (UCI) receiver in a wireless communication system. The method comprises processing a signal received on an uplink (UL) at said UCI receiver to transform said received signal into a likelihood calculation of possible transmitted codewords (θ1 . . . θi . . . θN) and determining a maximum magnitude θmax value from said likelihood calculation. The method includes comparing said maximum magnitude θmax value to a selected, calculated or predetermined scaled threshold S·τ where τ is a threshold and S is a scaling factor for the threshold τ. The comparison step is such that, where |θmax|2>S·τ, the method comprises determining that the signal received comprises a linear block encoded signal. In the method, prior to said comparison step, the scaling factor S is selected from a plurality of scaling factor options. One scaling factor option (i) is a scaling factor SRE derived from a combination of estimated noise and/or signal power at an output of a resource element (RE) demapper module and an estimated channel response from/before an equalizer module of said UCI receiver. The options also include using a combination of SRE and a suitable scaling factor derived excluding option (i).

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for cell identification. For example, the systems, devices, and methods described herein may be used to detecting a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) index. In an aspect of the present disclosure, a method includes detecting, at an electronic device, a first SSS index based on a comparison between a first power value and a first threshold. The first power value is associated with a correlation power result between a received signal from a base station and a local SSS. The method also include determining, at the electronic device, a second threshold based on the first power value, and performing a comparison between a second power value and the second threshold. The second power value is determined based on the received signal.

    Abstract: Described is a method and device for detecting a DTX state at a UCI receiver in a wireless communication system. The method comprises receiving a linear block encoded signal on an uplink at said UCI receiver and processing the received signal after resource element (RE) demapping to generate a soft bit sequence {right arrow over (s)}. The method includes selecting a plurality of bits in said generated soft bit sequence {right arrow over (s)} as comparison bits and comparing said selected comparison bits to corresponding bits in a reconstructed soft bit sequence {right arrow over (r)}. The reconstructed soft bit sequence {right arrow over (r)} is generated from a plurality of bits selected as reconstruction bits in said generated soft bit sequence {right arrow over (s)}. A comparison or correlation metric is determined between the comparison bits and the corresponding bits in the reconstructed soft bit sequence {right arrow over (r)}, and a determination is made of the occurrence of a DTX state by evaluating the determined comparison or correlation metric.
