    Abstract: Techniques to acquire the frequency of a signal instance based on a window of data samples covering a time period shorter than the time needed to achieve frequency lock. The window of data samples is initially captured and stored to a sample buffer. A segment of data samples is then retrieved from the sample buffer for processing. The retrieved data samples are rotated by a current frequency error estimate to provide frequency-translated data samples, which are further processed to provide one or more pilot symbols. An updated frequency error estimate for the frequency-translated data samples is then derived based on the pilot symbols using a frequency control loop. The window of data samples is processed for a number of iterations until frequency acquisition is achieved for the signal instance or termination is reached. For each iteration, one segment is processed at a time and typically in sequential order.

    Abstract: Techniques to detect for DTX frames in a "primary" transmission that may be sent in a non-continuous manner using a "secondary" transmission that is sent during periods of no transmission for the primary transmission. The primary and secondary transmissions may be the ones sent on the F-DCCH and Forward Power Control Subchannel, respectively, in an IS-2000 system. In one method, a determination is first made whether or not a frame received for the primary transmission in a particular frame interval is a good frame (e.g., based on CRC). If the received frame is not a good frame, then a determination is next made whether the received frame is a DTX frame or an erased frame based on a number of metrics determined for the primary and secondary transmissions. The metrics may include symbol error rate of the received frame, secondary transmission (e.g., PC bit) energy, and received frame energy.

    Abstract: In an antenna diversity environment, the timing offset of the receiver's fingers are based on the timing offset of the received peaks of the base station transmit signals. In a system with non-negligible multipath spacing, the timing offset of the received peaks of the base station transmit signals are not necessarily at the same location. In one embodiment, the demodulating elements for the signal from each base station antenna use the same offset for demodulating and determining an error signal based on pilot signal sampling prior to the timing offset and subsequent to the timing offset. The error signals are averaged and used by a time tracking loop to track the incoming signal. In another embodiment, the demodulating elements for the signal from each base station antenna independently time track the signals with different timing offsets for each finger. The preferred embodiment depends on the method used by the base station to multiplex the data onto multiple transmit antennas.

    Abstract: A velocityx estimate is determined from a recevied signal by counting the number of times a signal in one multipath crosses a predetermined threshold in a given amount of time. A signal is received and a single multipath is extracted from the received signal. Instantaneous envelope values of the extracted multipath are calculated. A plurality of the instantaneous envelop e valures are used to calculate a running RMS value. A level crossing threshol d is determined using the running RMS value. The number of times the instantaneous envelope value crosses the level crossing threshold is counted . The number of level crossings is mapped to a velocity estimate.

    Abstract: Techniques for detecting zero rate frames in a received data transmission. A modulated signal is received and demodulated in accordance with a particular demodulation format to generate demodulated symbols. The demodulated symbols are partitioned into a number of received frames. For each received frame, a quality metric is computed and compared against a threshold value. The threshold value is selected based, in part, on the quality metrics of received frames. Based on the comparison result, the received frame is indicated as being either transmitted and received in error (i.e., erased or bad) or not transmitted at all (i.e., zero rate or empty). The quality metric can relate to an energy of a received frame, a distance between a received frame and a codeword corresponding to the received frame, or other metrics. The threshold value can be selected based on the quality metrics computed for decoded frames or received frames identified as good, and can be dynamically adjusted based on current information available at the receiver. The method is advantageously used in a CDMA communications system.

    Abstract: Standalone MBSFN cells may provide an improved user experience for an individual with a non-legacy UE since the bandwidth of that cell is mostly allocated to broadcasting streaming services. However, an individual with a legacy UE may be able to detect cell acquisition information associated with a standalone MBSFN cell but not to acquire standalone MBSFN cells. In order to solve this problem, the present disclosure provides various UE avoidance schemes that enable non-legacy UEs to acquire a standalone MBSFN cell and prevents legacy UEs from trying to acquire a standalone MBSFN only cell. The apparatus may receive cell acquisition information associated with an eMBMS standalone cell. The apparatus may detect a UE avoidance scheme based on a characteristic associated with the cell acquisition information. The apparatus may perform cell acquisition with the eMBMS standalone cell based on the characteristic.
