CHANNEL MEASUREMENTS ON COMBINED PILOT SIGNALA IN MULTI- CARRIER SYSTEMS

摘要

In a base station and a mobile station the pilot signal power in all carriers are combined for example by using an MRC (Maximum Ratio Combination) algorithm. Physical layer measurement such as Up-Link Synchronization and Angle of Arrival (AoA) are performed based on the combined received signal. The method results in that the measurement errors can be significantly reduced.
