Systems and methods are disclosed herein for blind frequency synchronization. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: downconverting a received orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal to baseband; identifying, from the downconverted received signal, a series of OFDM symbols in the time domain; performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on a block of several time domain samples to turn the time domain OFDM symbols into frequency domain OFDM symbols, one sample per subcarrier in the received OFDM signal; computing a cross-correlation between in-phase and quadrature samples in each subcarrier and for each frequency domain OFDM symbol, wherein the cross-correlation may be computed as a sum of products of either squares or absolute values of the in-phase and quadrature samples; and summing the computed cross-correlation across the series of symbols and across all subcarriers to determine a frequency offset for the received OFDM signal.

A system for enabling signal penetration into a building includes a transceiver located on an exterior of the building for receiving signals at a first frequency transmitted from a source outside of the building. An optical bridge receives the signals at the first frequency that experiences losses when penetrating an exterior surface of the building, converts the received signals at the first frequency into a first format that overcome losses caused by penetrating an exterior surface of the building and transmits the signals through the exterior surface of the building. A WiFi transceiver located on the interior of the building and connected to the optical bridge converts between the signals in the first format and WiFi signals and for transmitting the WiFi signals to the interior of the building and receiving the WiFi signals from the interior of the building.

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to demodulate data for fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR). In at least one embodiment, a processor includes one or more circuits to use a parallel processor to determine a signal value based, at least in part, on one or more predetermined probability values.

A wireless 5G/6G message can be demodulated by converting the as-received I-branch and Q-branch signals to the corresponding waveform amplitude and phase, using simple algorithms. Then, fault diagnosis and fault correction can be performed efficiently based on the waveform parameters.
