Power detection in the frequency domain on a subcarrier by subcarrier basis with statistical counters

A system, comprising:

• a group of power detectors configured to detect collection of respective power data in a frequency domain from a group of subcarriers of a radio system, along a common selected time range having boundaries that are aligned at time boundaries of the radio system;
• a read circuit, of the group of power detectors, that is configured to read the power data in the frequency domain using a frequency range between a first subcarrier, of the group of subcarriers, and a second subcarrier, of the group of subcarriers,
• wherein the second subcarrier is a next higher or next lower subcarrier of the radio system relative to the first subcarrier;
• an analysis component, of the group of power detectors, that is configured to compare the power data in the frequency domain to a power threshold;
• a frequency offset component, of the group of power detectors, that is configured to resolve, based on a result of the power data being compared to the power threshold, the power data into bins of a data storage component,
• wherein the bins are least partially defined by the frequency range;
• and
• statistical counters, of the group of power detectors, that are configured to receive the respective power data having been sorted according to the power threshold and to accumulate respective counts of power data values at the bins.

A method, comprising:

• analyzing, by a system comprising at least one processor, the system being part of a radio system, power data in a frequency domain, based on a frequency range between a subcarrier and another subcarrier of the radio system other than the subcarrier, according to a power threshold,
• wherein the other subcarrier is a next higher or next lower subcarrier of the radio system relative to the subcarrier;
• resolving, by the system, the power data in the frequency domain into a group of bins at a storage component based on the analysis of the power data in the frequency domain according to the power threshold,
• wherein the bins are least partially defined by the frequency range;
• and
• counting, by the system, respective quantities of power data values at respective bins of the group of bins.
