    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing high resolution timing advance estimation based on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). An example method includes receiving a preamble signal r(n); performing signal conditioning on r(n); down sampling the signal and performing antialiasing filtering to provide a y(n) signal; correlating y(n) with a reference preamble with a reference preamble sequence c(n) to provide correlation output Ryc; using a peak value P of the correlation output Ryc to detect a preamble ID and a timing advance; constructing a sequence s(n) by segmenting r_centered(n) for length L around an index P*24; performing time domain interpolation of c(n) around index P to obtain a sequence c_interpolated(n); performing time domain interpolation between sequences s(n) and c_interpolated(n); detecting a peak position Q of the correlation; and deriving TA as P*24−L/2+q in terms of Ts.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing high resolution timing advance estimation based on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). An example method includes receiving a preamble signal r(n) having a predetermined sampling frequency and a predetermined length; correlating a down sampled version of the received preamble with a reference preamble sequence c(n) using an FFT method to provide correlation output Ryc; using a peak value P of the correlation output Ryc to detect a preamble ID and a timing advance at a resolution of 24Ts; zero padding sequences Y(k) and C(k) so that they have a predetermined length resulting in sequences Y_hat(k) and C_hat(k), which are 1024-point FFT of y(n) and c(n); performing a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to estimate a timing offset; and detecting a peak value out of the R_hat(m) and using a corresponding index Q to provide a timing advance with an accuracy of 2Ts.

    Abstract: A method for providing uplink link adaptation in 5G base stations is presented. In one embodiment the method includes computing a RSSI of each allocation measuredRSSI(i), including blocks which are unused; computing measurements upon receiving channel allocation and TPC commands from a MAC, the measurements including a revisedWidebandRSSI including a revisedRSSI(i), a lowest relative threshold of each allocation, and a revised RSSI of each allocation after applying TPC commands normalized by the revisedWidebandRSSI; when the revisedWidebandRSSI is greater than a widebandRSSlthreshold, then resetting the TPC commands to be sent to the particular UE and sending a saturation_error_indication message to the MAC; wherein when a revisedRSSlnorm(i) for at least one allocation is below the widebandRSSlthreshold, sending the quant_loss_error_indication message to the MAC along with the corresponding index of the allocation; and adapting the MCS and power control information for each of the allocations in the next subframe.
