  • Patent number: 11695606
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to performing phase compensation at a transmitter. A processing device for a network access node generates a phase compensated modulation symbol based on at least one first modulation symbol and at least on one of a frequency offset parameter and a time offset parameter. The frequency offset parameter may be determined based on an offset between a reference frequency f0 and a DC (0 Hz) frequency such that the frequency offset parameter corresponds to the reference frequency f0. Also, the reference frequency f0 can be at least partly based on the carrier of up-conversion frequency used by the processing device and the reference frequency f0 can be the carrier for up-conversion frequency. The phase compensated symbol is transmitted to a receiver, such as a client device. Furthermore, the disclosure also relates to corresponding methods and a computer program.

  • Patent number: 11570725
    Abstract: A method and a network node (300) for enabling wireless communication with a wireless device (302), wherein no more than a pre-determined maximum total transmit power is available for downlink transmission by the network node (300). When detecting that the wireless device (302) requires an extended transmission range (300B) which is larger than a nominal transmission range (300A), a boosted transmit power is determined and used for transmitting a first set of channels and/or signals to be used by the wireless device (302) to achieve the extended transmission range (300B). An attenuated transmit power is also determined and used for transmitting a second set of channels and/or signals not included in the first set of channels and/or signals, which provides a slightly reduced transmission range (300C) for the second set.
