Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer products for fast wakeup recovery for narrow-band internet of things (NBIOT) systems are provided. The fast wakeup recovery may wakeup a NBIOT device from a sleep mode to an active mode. The fast wakeup recovery may identify a servicing cell for the NBIOT device to synchronize with. The fast wakeup recovery may be based on a coarse timing detection operation using a NPSS and a fine timing detection operation using a NSSS.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer products for cell quality measurements of for cellular internet of things (IOT) systems provided, including for cellular narrow-band IOT (NBIOT) systems and machine type communication (MTC) systems. For example, an IOT device may determine these cell quality measurements to select a serving cell to use for connecting to a cellular network. The cell quality measurements may include channel estimation that is used to generate an RSRP, RSRQ, and Noise Variance estimation. In various embodiments, and based on the cell quality measurements, an IOT device may rank a plurality of cells and select a top ranked cell for providing cellular service.

Abstract: Cognitive radios by dynamically detecting available channels and changing their transmission or reception parameters allow increased concurrent wireless communications within a given spectrum band. It would be beneficial for such cognitive radios to exploit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and accordingly establishing a spectrum monitoring technique suitable for OFDM-based cognitive radios an essential element for this. The inventors have established a technique allowing for the detection of the reappearance of the primary user within a reception period within an OFDM-based cognitive radio network and beneficially does so quickly without requiring received bit decoding and allows for different signal chain impairments to be considered. Further, the technique is applicable to address other important OFDM challenges for cognitive radios such as power leakage as well as extending the embodiments of the invention to multiple antenna systems.
