A telecommunications receiver is adapted to communicate with mobile devices that operate according to a protocol where the telecommunications receiver operates outside of expected ranges for the protocol but modifies its communications with mobile devices to appear to those mobile devices as being within the expected ranges. To determine what modifications to make to transmissions, the telecommunication receiver processes signals from mobile devices to determine where a communications channel is relative to the expected ranges and uses that information to modify transmissions to mobile devices. The expected ranges might relate to maximum distance between telecommunications receiver and a mobile device, maximum relative velocity, power etc. Determining a relative velocity, and therefore a Doppler shift, can be done by determining a fractional frequency offset, determining an expected subchannel, and determining an integer frequency offset based on the expected subchannel carrier frequency and the measured carrier frequency.

Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a first radio node (400), and corresponding methods therein, for determining a bandwidth of a second radio node (402). The first and second radio nodes are configured for use in a communications network. The bandwidth is determined based on a correlation between a signal received form the second radio node and at least one known signal which are transmittable on one or more known radio resources. Such bandwidth determination eliminates the need for the wireless terminal to receive such information via system information broadcasted from a cell.

A receiver baseband processor and method for performing preamble detection and Time-of-Arrival, ToA, estimation for a single-tone frequency hopping random access preamble. The processor FFT processes a received signal and identifies logical tones. For each logical tone, the processor reads received symbols; determines a ToA estimate; forms a statistic based on the ToA estimate; compares the statistic to a preamble threshold; and when the statistic is greater than or equal to the threshold, determines a preamble is present and utilizes the ToA estimate for a timing advance command.

A technique for Bluetooth wireless communication is described. According to one aspect of the technique, Bluetooth data from a data source is received in a first wireless device through an antenna and a Bluetooth radio frequency transceiver thereof via a Bluetooth connection with the data source. The Bluetooth data is used to generate a modulation signal according to a narrowband orthogonal multi-carrier modulation technology. The modulation signal is transmitted to a second wireless device through the antenna and the Bluetooth radio frequency. The antenna and the Bluetooth radio frequency transceiver are time-multiplexed by the Bluetooth connection between the first wireless device and the data source, and the wireless connection between the first wireless device and the second wireless device. The described technique can be advantageously used for expanding the distance of Bluetooth wireless propagation of Bluetooth devices.

Provided are a preamble symbol generation method and receiving method, and a relevant frequency-domain symbol generation method and a relevant device, characterized in that the method comprises: generating a cyclic prefix according to a partial time-domain main body signal truncated from a time-domain main body signal; generating a modulation signal based on a portion or the entirety of the partial time-domain main body signal; and generating time-domain symbols based on at least one of the cyclic prefix, the time-domain main body signal and the modulation signal, wherein the preamble symbol contains at least one of the time-domain symbols.

After the synchronization, each of the border router radios communicates with endpoints associated therewith according to a channel hopping pattern modified by applying a channel offset determined based on the channel offset parameters assigned to the respective radio.
