A method of configuring an error correction engine, the method comprising determining the frequency of operation of the error correction engine, determining the size of the code to be error corrected, determining the time permitted in which to error correct the code, and based on the determining steps, configuring the number of active error correction processes within the error correction engine to be used to error correct the code.

Flexible error correction

A computer implemented method for providing OTDOA timing information comprising defining an FFT window pair for estimating a value of reference signal time difference 'RSTD' for at least one base station and a reference cell, receiving a PRS from the at least one base station and the reference cell, executing an FFT per OFDM symbol of the PRS for each FFT window of the FFT window pair, obtaining a first FFT output vector per OFDM symbol of each FFT window, for each first output vector, descrambling tones corresponding to the known position of the PRS, wherein all other tones are set to zero, combining vectors based on respective first FFT output vectors, executing an iFFT to convert to the time domain; and calculating an estimated value of reference signal time difference 'RSTD' for the at least one base station and the reference cell.

OTDOA in LTE networks

A computer implemented method of providing RSTD data comprising receiving an uncertainty window centered around an expected RSTD value, determining the PDP of each reference OFDM symbol within the uncertainty window, obtaining a main PDP by calculating a parameter indicative of signal quality for each determined PDP, the main PDP having the highest signal quality, obtaining a preceding PDP of the Main PDP, obtaining a succeeding PDP of the Main PDP, determining PDP metrics comprising, determining a channel metric for each of the main, preceding and succeeding PDPs, determining a channel main tap for each of the main, preceding and succeeding PDPs, determining a delay estimate for each of the main, preceding and succeeding PDPs, wherein if the main PDP is a combined PDP, performing coherence testing on the PDP metrics to detect any ambiguity in the delay estimate of the main PDP, and correcting any ambiguity.
