SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK PERIODICITY CHANGES
20220353829 · 2022-11-03 · ·

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to processing an SSB, received in one radio frame, to obtain timing information helpful for allowing a UE to determine a boundary for the radio frame. Beneficially, changes in the periodicity of the transmission of SSB sets may allow the UE more frequent opportunities to determine a boundary for the radio frame. However, in the absence of additional information, the UE may not be able to determine a location, for an SSB set, within the radio frame. Aspects of the present application relate to a manner of including the additional information in an SSB and the processing of the SSB to obtain the additional information such that the UE may be assisted, by the additional information, in the task of determining a boundary for the radio frame.

RADIO SYNCHRONIZATION
20230031301 · 2023-02-02 · ·

A radio receiver device determines whether a digital radio signal includes a predetermined cyclic preamble. An input portion samples the digital radio signal and generates a plurality of samples for storage in a buffer. A first autocorrelator correlates first and second subsets of the samples to generate a first correlation metric, the second subset having been stored in the buffer earlier than said first subset by an even integer multiple of half of the preamble period. A second autocorrelator correlates first and third subsets of the plurality of samples to generate a second correlation metric, the third subset having been stored in the buffer earlier than said first subset by an odd integer multiple of half of the preamble period. A processing portion calculates a difference between the correlation metrics and determines that the radio signal includes the predetermined cyclic preamble when the difference is greater than a threshold value.
