Band gap mitigation during component carrier sensing

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more antennas;
• and
• transceiver circuitry coupled to the one or more antennas, the transceiver circuitry comprising receiver circuitry and transmitter circuitry, and the transceiver circuitry to:
• determine a channel impulse response of a first component carrier associated with a first bandwidth;
• determine a location of a first impulse response peak within the first bandwidth;
• determine a location of a second impulse response peak within a second bandwidth associated with the first component carrier or with a second component carrier based on the location of the first impulse response peak, the second bandwidth being disjoint with the first bandwidth;
• and
• perform a phase correction of one of a channel frequency response of the first bandwidth and a channel frequency response of the second bandwidth based on the first impulse response peak and the second impulse response peak.

A method for phase correction, the method comprising:

• determining a channel impulse response of a first component carrier associated with a first bandwidth;
• determining a location of a first impulse response peak within the first bandwidth;
• determining a location of a second impulse response peak within a second bandwidth associated with the first component carrier or with a second component carrier based on the location of the first impulse response peak, the second bandwidth being disjoint with the first bandwidth;
• and
• performing a phase correction of one of a channel frequency response of the first bandwidth and a channel frequency response of the second bandwidth based on the first impulse response peak and the second impulse response peak.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a communication device, the instructions to configure the communication device for signal detection with multiple carrier components with phase mismatch and band gaps between them, and to cause the communication device to:

• determine a channel impulse response of a first component carrier associated with a first bandwidth;
• determine a location of a first impulse response peak within the first bandwidth;
• determine a location of a second impulse response peak within a second bandwidth associated with the first component carrier or with a second component carrier based on the location of the first impulse response peak, the second bandwidth being disjoint with the first bandwidth;
• and
• perform a phase correction of one of a channel frequency response of the first bandwidth and a channel frequency response of the second bandwidth based on the first impulse response peak and the second impulse response peak.
