  • Patent number: 11595927
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for over-the-air synchronization of integrated access and backhaul communications. An example method that may be performed by a network entity includes receiving, from a first wireless node, an indication of a value of a timing adjustment factor associated with a communication between the first wireless node and a second wireless node and communicating with the first wireless node or the second wireless node based on the value of the timing adjustment factor.

  • Patent number: 11483026
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for improving a carrier to noise density ratio (CNO) of a matched filter. A signal is received at a signal register of the matched filter. A local code is received at a local code register and a nulling register of the matched filter. An adder tree of the matched filter correlates the signal register and the local code register with respect to the nulling register to obtain a correlation result. The nulling register prevents high frequency samples of the signal register from affecting the correlation result.

  • Patent number: 8615058
    Abstract: A signal acquisition system efficiently acquires a transmitted signal even at very low power. The system may synchronize to a preamble structure in the transmitted signal and, for example, determine timing parameters that locate the preamble with respect to system timing or other clock references. The system is particularly effective at acquiring weak power signals and is also robust against significant noise and other impairments, and therefore improves the ability of a receiving device that incorporates the signal acquisition system to acquire the signal and establish communication with other devices.
