Abstract: Described is a method of performing carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation of physical channels in a mobile communications system. The method comprises the step of performing channel estimation of a received signal on a physical channel based on multiple orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) symbols in one or more reference signals (RSs). The method includes determining multiple phase rotation values ? and corresponding time differences s between different OFDM symbols in the one or more RSs over a base phase rotation range comprising +/?? to obtain a first CFO estimation candidate f0. The base phase rotation range is extended to provide an extended phase rotation range of greater than +/?? to obtain additional CFO estimation candidates f1, f2 . . . fn within the extended phase rotation range.

Abstract: Systems and methods which provide parallel processing of multiple message bundles for a codeword undergoing a decoding process are described. Embodiments provide low-latency segmented quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDDC) decoder configurations in which decoding process tasks are allocated to different segments of the low-latency segmented QC-LDPC decoder for processing multiple bundles of messages in parallel. A segmented shifter of a low-latency segmented QC-LDPC decoder implementation may be configured to process multiple bundles of a plurality of edge paths in parallel. Multiple bundles of messages of a same check node cluster (CNC) are processed in parallel. Additionally, multiple bundles of messages of a plurality of CNCs are processed in parallel.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for cell identification. For example, the systems, devices, and methods described herein may be used to detecting a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) index. In an aspect of the present disclosure, a method includes detecting, at an electronic device, a first SSS index based on a comparison between a first power value and a first threshold. The first power value is associated with a correlation power result between a received signal from a base station and a local SSS. The method also include determining, at the electronic device, a second threshold based on the first power value, and performing a comparison between a second power value and the second threshold. The second power value is determined based on the received signal.

Abstract: The applications and medical devices of Midkine in the field of biotechnology are described in this invention. This invention describes the applications of the protein as follow in (a) or (b) in preparing drugs for promoting cartilage growth or treating cartilage diseases, the protein as a growth factor for promoting chondrocyte proliferation, or medical devices containing this protein: (a) the protein whose amino acid sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO.1; (b) the proteins whose amino acid sequence have at least 60% homology comparing with amino acid sequence described in (a).
