JOINT DETECTION FOR PRIMARY SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL (PSS) AND OTHER SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL SYMBOLS IN TARGET CELL SEARCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17448836 titled 'JOINT DETECTION FOR PRIMARY SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL (PSS) AND OTHER SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL SYMBOLS IN TARGET CELL SEARCH

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that can establish a wireless connection with a target cell. Here are the key points:

  • The UE has a transceiver for wireless communication with a serving cell and a processor for processing signals.
  • The processor determines a reference signal sequence that includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS) sequence and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) sequence of the target cell.
  • The processor receives a signal sequence from the target cell and calculates an overall correlation value based on the reference signal sequence and the received signal sequence.
  • If the overall correlation value is above a threshold, the processor detects a synchronization signal block (SSB) of the target cell based on the received signal sequence.
  • Finally, the processor establishes a wireless connection with the target cell based on the detected SSB.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in cellular networks to improve the process of establishing a wireless connection between user equipment and target cells.
  • It can enhance the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication by accurately detecting synchronization signals.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The technology solves the problem of accurately detecting synchronization signals from target cells, which is crucial for establishing a wireless connection.
  • It improves the overall performance of cellular networks by reducing the chances of false detections or missed synchronization signals.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The technology improves the user experience by enabling faster and more reliable wireless connections.
  • It enhances the efficiency of cellular networks by reducing the time and resources required for establishing connections.
  • The accurate detection of synchronization signals ensures a stable and uninterrupted wireless communication experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects are described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a serving cell and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to determine a reference signal sequence that comprises a primary synchronization signal (PSS) sequence and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) sequence of a target cell. The processor is further configured to receive a signal sequence from the target cell and calculate an overall correlation value based on the reference signal sequence and the received signal sequence. The processor is further configured to determine that the overall correlation value is above a threshold and detect a synchronization signal block (SSB) of the target cell based on the received signal sequence. Finally, the processor is configured to establish a wireless connection with the target cell based on the SSB.
