Physical layer processing methods for network acquisition by remote nodes in wireless communication systems are described herein. New methods for wireless network discovery and synchronization by remote nodes are described herein that utilize spatial (e.g., antenna array) processing algorithms which may achieve enhanced functioning in challenging radio frequency environments, such as those containing interference and multipath distortion effects. These methods may include advantageous use of spatial whiteners and associated pluralities of adaptive beamformers to detect network reference and synchronization signals and estimate their parameters.

The present invention improves reception characteristics of a receiving apparatus based on OFDM. The receiving apparatus includes: a window timing selection unit that determines Fourier transform window start and end timings for a received signal(s) based on OFDM, based on a signal-to-interference power ratio and signal power in a Fourier transform window; and a Fourier transform unit that performs Fourier transform on the received signal(s) in accordance with the Fourier transform window start and end timings outputted by the window timing selection unit.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform online spur detection and mitigation scheme. The UE may identify spurs during operation, in real time, and apply cancelation and noise equalization to address identified spurs. The UE may apply a high pass filter to reference signals. During a symbol, the UE may apply the high pass filter by estimating the channel on one or more neighbor tones (e.g., tones of higher frequency and tones of lower frequency that also carry reference symbols). Because the UE may assume that a channel will generally be smooth, and that noise may vary slowly or steadily across frequency resources, the UE may compare the channel noise of a particular tone to an average or normalized channel noise of the one or more neighbor tones.

An operating method for an electronic device and a signal processor included in the electronic device are provided. The operating method for an electronic device comprises a descrambling a synchronization signal received from a cell, acquiring a time domain average signal on the descrambled synchronization signal, executing a differential correlation on the time domain average signal by a predetermined reference, and measuring a power of the synchronization signal provided from the cell, using the differential.

A faulted message element in 5G or 6G can often be identified according to its modulation parameters, including a large deviation of the branch amplitudes from the predetermined amplitude levels of the modulation scheme, and/or the SNR of the branch amplitudes, and/or an amplitude variation of the raw signal or the branches during the message element, and/or an inconsistency between the modulation state as determined by the amplitude and phase of the raw waveform versus the amplitudes of the orthogonal branch signals, among other measures of modulation quality. An AI model may be necessary to correlate the various quality measures, and optionally to determine the correct demodulation of faulted message elements. Costly, time-consuming retransmissions may be avoided by determining the correct demodulation of each message element at the receiver, thereby improving throughput and reliability with fewer delays.

Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to a device and a method for allocating a resource in a wireless LAN system. An electronic device may include: a memory, a communication circuit, and a processor operatively connected to the memory and the communication circuit, wherein the processor is configured to: receive a reference signal from an external electronic device via the communication circuit, identify channel gains of multiple subcarriers included in a frequency resource through a channel estimation based on the reference signal, identify, based on the channel gains of the subcarriers, subcarriers in which constructive interference is determined to have occurred, configure multiple resource groups each including at least one consecutive subcarrier among the identified subcarriers, and transmit information related to the multiple resource groups to the external electronic device via the communication circuit.

A system and method are provided for processing symbols for transmission. The method involves producing a single carrier offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) waveform signal from a set of K complex symbols. The method further involves pulse shaping 2K frequency domain samples of the OQAM waveform signal with J non-zero coefficients, where the J non-zero coefficients represent a frequency response of a conjugate symmetrical pulse shape, and K≤J≤2K−1. The approach has the advantage of avoiding self-interference, with the result that better BLER performance may be possible. The approach is applicable to any modulation order and also avoids bandwidth expansion. Flexibility is provided through a trade-off between PAPR vs. spectrum efficiency.

Apparatus and methods for providing interference management and load balancing in a wireless network. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus utilize quasi-licensed CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) wireless spectrum in conjunction with enhanced SAS (Spectrum Access System) and base station (e.g., CBSD) components to enable creation and management of virtual clusters of bases stations connected to the network, so as to enable inter-cluster interference mitigation, while also supporting load balancing between the base stations using coverage area overlap. In one implementation, the SAS reduces the coverage area (transmit power) of one or more base stations on a cluster edge to mitigate inter-cluster interference, and increases or adjusts the coverage of one or more base stations inside of the cluster to enable load balancing.

A user equipment may be configured to perform active interference cancellation for random-access channel. In some aspects, the user equipment may receive, from a base station, physical layer random-access channel (PRACH) configuration information including one or more active interference cancellation (AIC) parameters for applying AIC to a PRACH message to the base station. Further, the user equipment may transmit, to the base station, the PRACH message with one or more AIC subcarriers based on the one or more AIC parameters.

An aggregation unit includes a transceiver configured to transmit unique signals to a plurality of transmission reception points (TRxPs) for transmission by the plurality of TRxPs and receive uplink signals received by the plurality of TRxPs from a user equipment. The aggregation unit also includes a processor configured to generate a sum of the uplink signals from a subset of the plurality of TRxPs. The subset is determined based on measurements of the unique signals performed by the UE. In some cases, the subset is determined by a baseband unit that receives a measurement report including the measurements performed by the UE. The transceiver is configured to transmit the sum of the uplink signals to the baseband unit over a fronthaul link.
