Abstract
A method and an apparatus for providing reference signal received power (RSRP) are disclosed herein. According to one embodiment, a signal is received in a modem. Signal elements at reference signal (RS) locations are extracted from the received signal. The signal elements are descrambled to remove a RS sequence. A linear average of the descrambled signal elements is performed to form virtual reference signal (VRS) elements. The RSRP is estimated from the VRS elements.
Claims20
A method of estimating reference signal received power (RSRP), the method comprising:
- receiving a signal in a modem;
- extracting signal elements at reference signal (RS) locations from the received signal;
- descrambling the signal elements at the RS locations to remove a RS sequence;
- performing a linear average of the descrambled signal elements to form virtual reference signal (VRS) elements;
- and
- estimating the RSRP from the VRS elements.

An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive a signal;
- extract signal elements at reference signal (RS) locations from the received signal;
- descramble the signal elements to remove an RS sequence;
- perform a linear average of the descrambled signal elements to form virtual reference signal (VRS) elements;
- and
- estimate the RSRP from the VRS elements.
