- the wireless communication system 300 may provide service over a large geographic region; for example, macro cells 302a-302g may cover a few blocks in a neighborhood.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an example block diagram 400 of a receiver (Rx) chain in an AT 306 in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure.
- the Rx chain may include a main clock provided by a crystal oscillator (XO), also referred to as a local oscillator (LO), outputting a square wave having a frequency of 750 MHz, for example.
- the main clock may be provided by a voltage-controlled temperature-controlled crystal oscillator (VCTCXO).
- VCTCXO voltage-controlled temperature-controlled crystal oscillator
- voltage control of the VCTCXO may be effectively disabled, so the VCTCXO is hereinafter referred to as the (VC)TCXO 418, as labeled in FIG. 4.
- hardware (HW) support may be provided for both (VC)TCXO 418 and the XO, such that either the (VC)TCXO or the XO may be populated in the AT 306, or both oscillators may be populated with a switch dictating which oscillator provides the main clock.
- the main clock may also be employed as a reference frequency signal for tracking a wireless network operating frequency (e.g., a carrier frequency).
- a wireless network operating frequency e.g., a carrier frequency
- the oscillator may introduce a frequency error of ⁇ 5 ppm. Methods and apparatus for handling this frequency error are described in detail below, but first, other components of the Rx chain are described.
- the Rx chain may receive RF signals in the wireless system 300 via antenna 402.
- the received signals may be amplified by a low noise amplifier (LNA) 404 and downconverted using a signal from a phase-locked loop (PLL) 416.
- Clocks or other timing signals produced by the PLL 416 may be derived from the oscillator.
- the PLL 416 may include an LO and, thus, may be referred to as a PLL/LO as shown.
- the PLL 416 may be based on an oscillator, such as an XO or a VCTCXO, separate from the PLL.
- the downconverted signal may be filtered by an anti-aliasing filter (AAF) 406 before being digitized by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 408, such as a sigma- delta ADC.
- AAF anti-aliasing filter
- ADC analog-to-digital converter
- F ADC sampling clock for the analog-to-digital convertor
- the PLL 408 may be derived from (e.g., divided down from, as shown by the factor K in FIG. 4) the PLL 416.
- the digitized signal may be input to and processed by post-quantization filters 409, a resampler 410, and a rotator 412 (e.g., digital rotator) before reaching frequency tracking loop (FTL) logic 414.
- FTL frequency tracking loop
- the oscillator may introduce a frequency error of ⁇ 5 ppm.
- an FTL (including the FTL logic 414) may be used to remove a residual frequency error due to the crystal oscillator after an initial frequency acquisition using reference signals, such as the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and the secondary synchronization signal (SSS).
- reference signals such as the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and the secondary synchronization signal (SSS).
- PSS primary synchronization signal
- SSS secondary synchronization signal
- an FTL algorithm estimates the frequency error between the carrier frequency of an incoming signal received at the access terminal 306 and a local reference frequency, such as the
- the purpose of the FTL is two-fold:
- the FTL removes the residual frequency error due to XO after initial frequency acquisition using the PSS & SSS;
- the signals used to eliminate the residual frequency offset may be the reference signals (RS) including the synchronization signals (PSS and SSS).
- RS reference signals
- PSS and SSS synchronization signals
- the residual frequency offset may be reduced to a small quantity. This may be done typically for two reasons.
- the physical broadcast channel (PBCH) decoding assumes coherent detection using an estimate of the channel from the RS symbols.
- PBCH physical broadcast channel
- a small frequency error may induce a phase term that couples with the signal and causes attenuation. This may result in a loss in performance when using the coherent detection rule.
- the frequency tracking loop converges fastest when the initial frequency error is small and within its pull-in range.
- the initial frequency offset may be brought down from up to ⁇ 5 ppm of the carrier frequency offset (e.g., up to 13.5 kHz) down to a small value (e.g., mean squared error ⁇ 1 kHz) using the synchronization signals.
- ⁇ 5 ppm of the carrier frequency offset e.g., up to 13.5 kHz
- a small value e.g., mean squared error ⁇ 1 kHz
- the output of the FTL logic 414 may be fed back to the rotator 412 in an effort to correct the frequency error.
- the AT 306 has only an XO to generate the reference frequency signal, the XO itself cannot be adjusted. Therefore, as described above, certain aspects employ a (VC)TCXO 418 instead, such that the oscillator may be adjusted based on the output of the FTL logic 414.
- a VCTCXO is generally much more expensive and consumes substantially more power than an XO, so the VCTCXO may not be a viable option in the competitive wireless device market where cost and power draw are major concerns.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a dual FTL, rather than the single FTL involving only the rotator 412.
- the frequency offset estimated by the FTL logic 414 may be applied to either the rotator 412 or to the PLL 416.
- a portion ( ⁇ ) of the frequency error may be applied to the PLL 416, while a remaining portion (1 - ⁇ ) of the frequency error may be applied to the digital rotator. While ⁇ may range from 0 to 1, ⁇ is typically less than 0.5.
- ⁇ may range from 0 to 1, ⁇ is typically less than 0.5.
- the dual FTL may represent the best tradeoff between cost, performance, and power consumption.
- FIG. 5 illustrates example operations 500 for correcting frequency errors between a carrier frequency of a signal received by an AT 306 and a reference frequency local to the AT in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure.
- the operations 500 may begin, at 502, by receiving a signal in a receiver front end having a local oscillator (LO) producing a reference frequency, a radio frequency (RF) phase-locked loop (PLL), and a digital rotator.
- LO local oscillator
- RF radio frequency
- PLL phase-locked loop
- a frequency difference between a carrier frequency of the received signal and the LO reference frequency may be estimated.
- the estimated frequency difference may be applied to the RF PLL and the digital rotator. For certain aspects, a portion ( ⁇ ) of the estimated frequency difference may be applied to the RF PLL, while a remaining portion (1 - ⁇ ) of the estimated frequency difference may be applied to the digital rotator. For other aspects, the estimated frequency difference may be applied only to the RF PLL.
- changes to the digital rotator may typically be made every 1 ms based on an FTL discriminator in the FTL logic 414.
- the average of the digital rotator value may be transferred to the PLL 416 at a slower rate. This ensures that the average of the Doppler frequency is corrected by the PLL, while the residual Doppler frequency is corrected by the digital rotator 412.
- the update rate of the digital rotator may be every 1 ms
- the PLL 416 may be updated every 10 to 20 ms. This compensation scheme may ensure that sampling-time error and frequency error are simultaneously rectified.

- the (VC)TCXO 418 or the PLL 416 may be used for both time and frequency correction
- the resampler 410 may be used for time correction only
- the rotator 412 may be used for frequency correction only.
- one or more correction mechanisms in the Rx chain may be used, either in isolation or in combination with other correction mechanisms, in various modes of operation, in order to control frequency and sample- timing. Selection between these modes of operation generally dictates which correction mechanism (or combination of correction mechanisms) is used for frequency and sample-time correction. As illustrated in FIG. 4 (and FIG.
- the FTL logic's estimate of the frequency error may be split among the multiple correction mechanisms using the variables ⁇ and ⁇ .
- this or other logic may issue a frequency adjustment command to either the rotator 412 or the PLL 416.
- a frequency or sample-time correction through the PLL 416 may be programmed through a serial bus interface (SBI) 420, and a frequency or sample-time correction through the (VC)TCXO 418 may be programmed through the phase demodulator (PDM) 422 via a TRK LO ADJ block 424, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
- the TRK LO ADJ block 424 may translate the output of the FTL logic into units suitable for controlling the (VC)TCXO 418, such as units of Hz/LSB (least significant bit).
- FIG. 6 illustrates an example block diagram 600 of the receiver (Rx) chain and a transmitter (Tx) chain, with frequency and timing correction in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure.
- Block diagram 600 shows a high level conceptual look at different options available for frequency and sample-timing correction on the Rx and Tx chains. Much of the Rx chain in FIG. 4 is repeated in FIG. 6 with additional details, and therefore, only these additions are discussed in detail below.
- the main clock reference may be provided by the (VC)TCXO 418.
- (VC) is parenthesized to illustrate the option of voltage controlling the VCTCXO or not, as well as the possibility of hardware support for any combination of a VCTCXO, an XO, or both in the AT 306.
- the sampling clock (F ADC) for the ADC 408 may be derived from the RX RF PLL 416, which may also provide a reference (F RXRF PLL) for downconverting the received, amplified signal.

- the RX Resampler 410 may be used for time correction only
- the RX rotator 412 may be used for frequency correction only.
- Table 1 shows several correction mechanisms available for frequency and sample-time control.
- Table 2 lists and describes the different variables and control signals included in FIG. 6.
- one or more correction mechanisms in the Rx chain may be used, either in isolation or in combination with other blocks, in various modes of operation, in order to control frequency and sampling-timing.
- the mode of operation generally determines which correction mechanism (or combination of correction mechanisms) is used for frequency and sample-time correction.
- the FTL logic's 414 estimate of the frequency error may be split among the multiple correction mechanisms via the variables ⁇ and ⁇ as shown in Table 3.
- the RX resampler 410 may be used for sample-time correction when ⁇ 1.
- an AT 306 may support all three operating modes below to select between different correction mechanisms.
- Mode 1 is typically preferred when only an XO option is available or if the PLL correction mechanism is unavailable (e.g., due to PLL circuit failure).
- Mode 1 the (VC)TCXO 418 is not selected or may not be populated in the AT 306.
- Mode 1 relies on the RX rotator 412 for frequency error correction. Since the RX rotator 412 only corrects for the frequency error, the resampling ratio 618 may also be adjusted to correct for sampling-time error.
- ⁇ 0, and no correction is applied to either the RX RF PLL 416 or the (VC)TCXO 418. It may not matter what the value of ⁇ is.
- Mode 2 uses the XO, the RX RF PLL 416, and the RX rotator 412 and may be the preferred option for most purposes.
- An XO solution may be preferred over a VCTCXO option because an XO provides for cost and power reduction compared to a VCTCXO.
- the PLL correction offers better performance (e.g., reduced frequency error) compared to the XO and rotator control of Mode 1 since the PLL correction allows alignment of a DC notch filter with the Long Term Evolution (LTE) Specification's DC tone where no data is transmitted.
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- LLRs log likelihood ratios
- the frequency correction may be applied through both the RX RF PLL 416 and the RX rotator 412.
- correction through the RX RF PLL 416 takes place at a slower time scale (e.g., 100 ms), and correction through the RX rotator 412 occurs at a faster time scale (e.g., every 1 ms).
- ⁇ for instance, and only a fraction ( ⁇ ) of the correction is applied through the RX RF PLL 416 via the SBI interface 420.
- the rest (1 - ⁇ ) may be applied through the RX rotator 412.
- the RX resampler 410 may be dynamically configurable to correct the sample-time error when at least a portion (1 - ⁇ ) of the frequency correction is applied to the RX rotator 412.
- the RX resampler 410 need not be configurable when the frequency correction is applied solely to the RX RF PLL 416.
- both the time (e.g., clock or code Doppler) and frequency Doppler may be automatically corrected.
- Mode 3 includes the VCTCXO 418 and RX rotator 412 correction.
- the frequency correction may be applied through the VCTCXO 418 at a slower time scale, and through the RX rotator 412 at a faster time scale.
- the frequency correction through the VCTCXO 418 may be programmed via the PDM 422 by setting the TRK LO ADJ block 424 accordingly.
- ⁇ both the time and frequency correction may be applied through the RX resampler 410 and the RX rotator 412, respectively.
- both the clock and frequency errors may be corrected.
- a frequency correction algorithm (FCA) 620 may be used to transfer FTL correction (F FTL) from the RX rotator 412 to the RX RF PLL 416 and/or the (VC)TCXO 418.
- a digitally encoded and otherwise processed signal to be transmitted may be converted to an analog signal by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) 610 and amplified by a power amplifier (PA) 602 before being transmitted from the AT 306 via an antenna 603.
- DAC digital-to-analog converter
- PA power amplifier
- the receive antenna 402 and the transmit antenna 603 may be the same antenna.
- a clock (F D AC) for the DAC 610 may be derived from an on-chip TX PLL 606, which in turn may be derived from the (VC)TCXO 418 as shown.
- the on-chip TX PLL 606 may depend on the (VC)TCXO 418.
- the DAC clock for sampling the processed signal sequence to be transmitted may be derived directly or indirectly from the RX RF PLL 416.
- F D AC is typically independent of the mixing signal (F TXRF PLL) used for upconversion and produced by the transmitter radio frequency phase-locked loop (TX RF PLL) 608.
- F TXRF PLL may also be derived indirectly from the (VC)TCXO 418 via the TX RF PLL as depicted in FIG. 6.
- the TX RF PLL 608 may be adjusted via an SBI mechanism 622 similar to the SBI 420 used to update the RX RF PLL 416.
- a baseband DC correction may most likely adequately suppress the carrier feed-through and, thus, may eliminate the need for aligning the DC-notch (whose bandwidth is 0 since this is a single number subtracted from IQ samples) with LTE-Specification-defined DC (i.e., there is no DC tone allocated in the TX side).
- Table 4 illustrates options for adjusting the frequency and sample timing of the Tx chain based on the FTL correction modes for the Rx chain.
- ⁇ F TXRF PLL NOMINAL / F RXRF PLL NOMINAL is the ratio of uplink (UL) to downlink (DL) carrier frequencies.
- the TX Rotator 616 and TX resampler 614 may most likely account for the residual error not corrected by the (VC)TCXO 418 since such error may appear at both the TX RF PLL 608 and the on-chip TX PLL 606 and thereby affect F TXRF PLL and F DAC, respectively.
- any correction applied to the Rx RF PLL 416 in Mode 2 is not available for the Tx chain (since this portion of the correction was not applied to the (VC)TCXO 418) and thus is added back to F RX ROTATOR as shown in Table 4.
- FIG. 7 illustrates example operations 700 for performing a frequency correction algorithm (e.g., FCA 620 in FIG. 6) in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure, such as when Mode 2 is being used or the Rx chain does not include a VCTCXO.
- FCA a frequency correction algorithm
- a goal of the FCA is to transfer the FTL correction from the RX Rotator 412 to the RX RF PLL 416 or the (VC)TCXO 418 typically gradually via periodic updates whenever the rotator correction exceeds a threshold (F OL TH, or outer loop threshold frequency) checked every K OL subframes.
- K OL may equal 10 ms or 20 ms, for example.
- F OL TH may depend on various factors, such as how much the RX RF PLL 416 may be adjusted without losing a lock (e.g., 20 kHz) and/or how gradually the (VC)TCXO 418 is designed to be adjusted.
- the frequency correction (F FTL) may be updated according to the FTL output 702 from the FTL logic 414.
- the frequency correction may be updated again at 704, and at 714, the RX RF PLL may be programmed with the computed LO correction.
- the LO Correction is applied to the RX RF PLL 416 only if the frequency correction is above a pre-determined threshold (F OL TH) of, for example, around 2 kHz.
- the rotator correction (F RX ROT ATOR) may be computed as follows and applied to the RX rotator 412 at 716:

- F OL MAX outer loop maximum frequency correction
- F OL MIN outer loop minimum frequency correction
