Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include determining a range of frequencies allocated to resource blocks to be transmitted during a subsequent sub-frame slot or sounding reference symbol sub-slot. The method may also include determining an approximate center frequency of the range of frequencies. The method may additionally include modulating resource blocks of the sub-frame or sounding reference symbol sub-slot at the approximate center frequency. The method may further include transmitting the modulated resource blocks at the approximate center frequency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wireless communication element, comprising: a transmit path configured to convert resource blocks in the form of a digital signal into a wireless communication signal based at least on an oscillator signal and transmit the wireless communication signal; control circuitry configured to: determine a first range of frequencies allocated to a first resource block to be transmitted during a first sub-frame slot; determine a first approximate center frequen…
