  • Patent number: 8879679
    Abstract: A method and system provide frequency offset compensation in a wireless communication device. A frequency offset compensation module (FOCM) correlates a received reference signal with sub-replica reference sequences to obtain a vector of matched filter output values associated with a time offset identified by a correlation time index value. The FOCM determines a correlation score vector using a combined energy associated with matched filter output values. The FOCM then determines a first phase difference based on matched filter output values corresponding to adjacent sub-replica sequences. The FOCM computes a second phase difference by linearly combining a selected first phase difference and at least one neighbor first phase difference having a second correlation time index value that differs from a first correlation time index value of the selected first phase difference. The FOCM uses the second phase difference to provide compensation for a frequency offset associated with received signals.

  • Patent number: 8737551
    Abstract: A method and system synchronizes transmission of receive data over an asynchronous digital radio frequency interface in a wireless communication device. A timing accurate strobe (TAS) re-sampler generates, using a first timing strobe synchronized to a baseband modem clock, a second timing strobe synchronized to a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) clock. The TAS re-sampler forwards the second timing strobe to the RFIC to trigger a collection of data samples and initiates a count of RFIC clock cycles. The RFIC sends the data samples to a baseband First In First Out (FIFO) buffer over the asynchronous interface. In response to the count reaching a pre-determined number of RFIC clock cycles corresponding to a fixed delay, the TAS re-sampler triggers a reading of data from the FIFO buffer. The baseband modem receives data corresponding to the collection of data samples after a fixed delay from generation of the first timing strobe.
