  • Publication number: 20240056244
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a first transceiver of a wireless communication network, for handling reference signals. The method comprises receiving, from a second transceiver, at antenna elements of each of M antenna branches of the first transceiver and in time domain, an OFDM modulated wideband reference signal comprising an OFDM reference signal symbol mapped to every K subcarrier frequency of at least a subset of a carrier frequency bandwidth, and, at each of the M antenna branches, sampling the received wideband reference signal using N samples per OFDM symbol. The method further comprises, for each of the M antenna branches, accumulating the received, sampled wideband reference signal over at least two repetition blocks, each of length of N/K, to obtain a condensed signal with the length N/K samples and conveying the condensed signal over an interface to an aggregate unit.

  • Publication number: 20240039767
    Abstract: Radio channel estimation in a radio node is provided. The radio node is configured to receive a number of wideband reference symbols corresponding to a wideband radio channel having a wideband bandwidth and convert the wideband reference symbols into a number of wideband taps each having a complex value and associated with a respective beam direction and a respective tap delay. The radio node dynamically determines a wideband power threshold based on channel information related to the wideband channel. Accordingly, the radio node determines a subset of the wideband taps based on the wideband power threshold and generates a channel estimate for the wideband radio channel based on the subset of wideband taps. As a result, the radio node may create a more accurate channel estimation across the wider channel bandwidth over a large span of SNR conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230412440
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a base station for transmitting synchronisation signals on a plurality of carriers, wherein the base station includes processing circuitry and a machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the base station to apply a time shift to at least part of a first synchronisation signal to be sent by the base station on a first carrier of the plurality of carriers such that the at least part of the first synchronisation signal is offset in time from a second synchronisation signal to be sent on a second carrier of the plurality of carriers. The base station is further caused to combine signals for the plurality of carriers, including the first and second synchronisation signals, to form a combined signal, amplify the combined signal using a power amplifier, and transmit the amplified combined signal.

  • Publication number: 20230379193
    Abstract: A method performed by a network node for handling channel feature estimates associated with a radio channel between a User Equipment, UE, and the network node in a wireless communications network is provided. The network node obtains a channel feature estimates associated to the radio channel estimated at a first point in time. Data representing the channel feature estimates has a first size. The network node compresses the channel feature estimates at the first point in time by replacing them with updated channel feature estimates that at the subsequent point in time fulfils a respective threshold condition. The data representing the updated channel feature estimates has a second size. The second size is smaller than the first size. The network node then adjusts parameters for a transmission at the radio channel based on the updated channel feature estimates.

    Abstract: An arrangement for cleaning feet has a round brush that is driven in rotation. The water-operated rotary drive is arranged on a carrier that is designed as housing. Water exits in the area of the shaft of the round brush from the rotary drive to the round brush. A U-shaped stirrup is fastened to the housing, which stirrup is arranged above the round brush in such a way that the upper area of the round brush projects through the stirrup. The feeding of water to the rotary drive is regulated by a shut-off device, which is actuated by a pedal. The pedal is arranged between a base of the housing and the round brush.
