Abstract: Provided are a method and a system for broadcasting a disaster alert. The method of broadcasting a disaster alert includes: receiving an Advanced Emergency Alert Table (AEAT) message and an Advance Emergency Alert (AEA) message generated to include an NRT component corresponding to a multimedia file from an AEA message application according to an AEA protocol; receiving trigger information extracted from a Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) message from a Non-3GPP InterWorking Function (N3IWF); and transmitting the AEA message to a mobile terminal through an Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 broadcast station according to the trigger information.

Abstract: A frequency offset estimator (400) and corresponding method (600) provides a frequency offset estimate (415) for an OFDM signal. The estimator comprises a data parser (403) coupled to an input signal (401) and arranged to select a group of symbols (305-311) or corresponding samples corresponding to predetermined symbols from the input signal and a processor (405) arranged to provide a correlation corresponding to the symbols, where the correlation corresponds to a frequency offset estimation for the input signal and is determined in a sequential fashion so that the correlation is provided concurrently with the last symbol or sample of the group of symbols to be selected.

Abstract: A timing and carrier error detector module (127) of a communication receiver (111). The timing and carrier error detector module uses phase information of a correlated signal (e.g. a Barker de-spread signal) to generate a timing signal and carrier error signal. In one example, the phase information includes a phase error signal of the correlated signal. In one example, the timing and carrier error detector module calculates an indication of the variance of the phase error signal for a plurality of sample positions over a plurality of Barker symbol intervals. The timing signal is based upon the sample position having a minimum indication of a variance.
