Abstract: A synchronization method, suitable between a first electronic device and a second electronic device, includes following operations. A first pulse of a wireless signal sent from the first electronic device is received by the second electronic device. A first status of the second electronic device is determined. A second pulse of the wireless signal is received after the first pulse. A receiving time gap between the first pulse being received and the second pulse being received by the second electronic device is measured. A new status of the second electronic device is determined according to the receiving time gap and the first status of the second electronic device. Whether to synchronize a system clock on the second electronic device with the second pulse of the wireless signal is determined according to the new status.

Abstract: A time and frequency synchronization method that includes the steps outlined below is provided. A wireless signal from a base station is received and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbols of a primary synchronization signal of the wireless signal on a time domain is identified. The orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbols are transformed to a frequency domain to generate original symbol signals. An inner product of the original symbol signals and the received symbol signals is generated to obtain a product of a power leakage coefficient and a channel gain. A line search is performed to approximate an actual value of a fractional carrier frequency offset of the wireless signal based on the power leakage coefficient.

Abstract: A sound reproducing method used in sound reproducing apparatus that includes the steps outlined below is provided. A sound signal with a three-dimensional (3D) sound generating process is generated according to listener data and sound data. Whether a sound source position is within a target region relative to a listener position within a virtual environment is determined according to the listener data and the sound data. The sound signal is multiplied by an adjusting function to enhance peaks and valleys of the sound signal while maintaining a behavior of the sound signal when the sound source position is within the target region. The sound signal is reproduced.

Abstract: A sound reproducing method used in sound reproducing apparatus that includes the steps outlined below is provided. A sound signal is generated with a 3D sound generating process according to listener data and sound data. Pre-recorded sound data is retrieved to further generate a target distance function corresponding to the sound distance. A fixed head-related transfer function corresponding to a fixed distance is retrieved. A target head-related transfer function corresponding to the sound distance is generated by adapting the target distance function to the fixed head-related transfer function. The sound signal is reproduced by multiplying the sound signal by the target head-related transfer function.

Abstract: A method for obtaining Hi-Res audio transfer information is provided. The method is applicable to the electronic device having a processor. In the method, a first audio signal is captured and converted from the time domain into in the frequency domain to generate a first signal spectrum. Then, a regression analysis is performed on an energy distribution of the first signal spectrum to predict an extended energy distribution according to the first signal spectrum, and head-related parameters are used to compensate for the extended energy distribution to generate an extended signal spectrum. Finally, the first signal spectrum and the extended signal spectrum are combined into a second signal spectrum which is converted from the frequency domain into the time domain to generate a second audio signal including Hi-Res audio transfer information.

Abstract: A sound-reproducing method that includes the steps outlined below is provided. A playback sound is generated by applying original audio into a test environment. The playback sound is received to generate received sound data.

Abstract: A user equipment, a small cell and an operation method thereof are provided. The small cell includes a processor and a transceiver. The processor is configured to generate a maintaining downlink signal when the small cell is in an off-state. The maintaining downlink signal utilizes fewer radio resources compared to a normal downlink signal which is generated when the small cell is in an on-state. The transceiver is electrically connected to the processor and configured to continuously transmit the maintaining downlink signal when the small cell is in the off-state and receive an uplink signal from the user equipment. The processor further switches the small cell from the off-state to the on-state according to the uplink signal.

Abstract: Methods of data allocation and signal receiving, a wireless transmitting apparatus, and a wireless receiving apparatus are provided based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology. The wireless transmitting apparatus obtains a data stream and allocates the data stream to a first sub-carrier set. Each of the first sub-carrier set and a second sub-carrier set has sub-carriers with opposite frequencies to each other, respectively. The second sub-carrier is emptied or allocated according the data stream allocated to the first sub-carrier set. The data stream is converted into an OFDM signal transmitted through a transmitting module. The wireless receiving apparatus includes a single branch receiver for receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal and outputting a baseband signal. Subsequently, the data stream is restored from the baseband signal.
