    Abstract: A technique for calibrating a receiver apparatus comprising at least one analog signal processing component and an intermediate frequency, or IF, mixer for converting IF signals comprising an in-phase, or I, signal and a quadrature-phase, or Q, signal to baseband frequency signals is provided. The IF mixer is arranged downstream of the at least one analog signal processing component. A method implementation of the technique comprises the steps of determining, in a digital processing domain downstream of the IF mixer, a metric which is affected by a frequency dependency of an imbalance between I and the Q signal, or IQ-imbalance, over a signal bandwidth, generating, based on the metric thus determined, a calibration signal configured to at least partially compensate a frequency-dependency of the IQ imbalance, and feeding the calibration signal to the at least one analog signal processing component so as to calibrate the at least one analog signal processing component.

    Abstract: A network node that serves a host cell in a cellular communication system transmits, at (a) first time interval(s), first control channel information on a control channel that extends over a first bandwidth of a radiofrequency spectrum. The first control channel communicates information necessary to enable a first type of communication device to receive data from the host cell. The first type of communication device can receive first bandwidth-wide signals. At (a) second time interval(s), second control channel information is transmitted on a second control channel of a first M-cell. The second control channel occupies a second bandwidth that is smaller than the first bandwidth. The second time interval(s) do(es) not coincide with any of the first time interval(s). A second type of communication device having reduced receive bandwidth capabilities compared to those of the first type of communication device is thereby made capable of being served by the node.

    Abstract: A frequency error of received signals in an OFDM receiver of a wireless communications system is determined. Symbols of a given duration are transmitted as cells on sub-carrier frequencies; and some of the cells are pilot cells modulated with reference information. The method comprises the steps of selecting at least three pilot cells (p 0 , p 1 , p 2 ) from different symbols and different sub-carriers; determining the symbol and the sub-carrier on which each pilot cell is transmitted; determining for each pilot cell a phase difference between received and generated signals; calculating therefrom a change in phase difference (Φ x ) caused by the frequency error; and calculating the frequency error from the calculated change in phase difference (Φ x ). In this way a receiver capable of determining a frequency error also in situations where only a short data burst, such as a single resource block, is available for the estimation is provided.

    Abstract: Inter-carrier interference (ICI) cancellation in an OFDMA receiving signals from two transmitters is performed by identifying the transmitted sub-carriers that cause the largest ICI to sub-carriers received from other transmitters, and removing the ICI contribution from these sub- carriers. This may be accomplished by calculating the ICI terms only based on the interfering sub-carrier and the frequency offset. Alternatively, the transmissions causing the ICI are demodulated, the ICI on other signals is then determined and subtracted, and other signals are then demodulated. Which transmissions cause the largest ICI on others depends on the relative strength of the corresponding sub-carriers and how much orthogonality is lost. The latter might be due to frequency error, Doppler spread, or a combination of both.

    Abstract: A coarse estimate of a location of an information carrying part of a symbol in a received signal in a telecommunication system is generated. This involves generating correlation values by correlating the received signal with a delayed received signal. A maximum correlation value of the correlation values is identified, and a duration in time during which the correlation values are greater than or equal to a predetermined percentage of the maximum correlation value is identified, wherein the duration in time begins at a first moment in time and ends at a second moment in time. The coarse estimate of the location of the peak correlation value is set equal to a moment in time between the first moment in time and the second moment in time, for example, a midpoint between the first moment in time and the second moment in time.
