A device includes a receiver and a processor. The receiver is configured to receive a signal. The processor is configured to generate a first flag indicating whether the signal satisfies one or more first conditions that are based on a number of detected correlation peaks associated with the signal, a correlation peak amplitude, or both, and to generate a second flag indicating whether an inverted signal satisfies one or more second conditions. The processor is further configured to generate a first value of a first synchronization sign indicator associated with the signal and to generate a second value of a second synchronization sign indicator associated with the inverted signal. The processor is also configured to generate an invert flag that indicates whether synchronization inversion is detected in the signal based at least in part on the first flag, the second flag, the first value, and the second value.

Codec inversion detection

Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for adaptive clustering. Serving cells may receive measurement information from mobile devices, and may each form reporting sets including measurement information for various cells. A CoMP (coordinated multi-point) control unit may receive the measurement information from each of a number of serving cells. The received measurement information may be aggregated for a population of the mobile devices. Based on the aggregated measurement information, cell clusters may be formed to perform coordinated transmissions, each including a different subset of the cells. An indication of the determined cell clusters may be transmitted to respective cells.

Adaptive cell clustering in a multi-cluster environment

A communications link is adapted based on a quality estimate for a signal transmitted via the communications link. The method comprises receiving and demodulating the transmitted signal, assessing the demodulated signal to derive a first estimate for the signal quality that is to be used in a link adaptation scheme, and further processing and decoding the demodulated signal. Based on at least one of the further processed, non-decoded signal and information obtained prior to conclusion of decoding, a first control signal indicative of the signal quality is generated and utilized to control the link adaptation scheme.
