In an aspect of the disclosure, an apparatus for wireless communication is provided. The apparatus may include several detectors, each of which may be configured to detect a signal received by a corresponding antenna of several antennas. The apparatus may include a processing system configured to detect a remote apparatus based on outputs from the detectors. The apparatus may include several modem radio frequency chips each including a corresponding detector of the several detectors, and a modem baseband chip including the processing system. The processing system may be configured to allow at most one of the detectors to output a detection declaration to the processing system at a time. The processing system may be configured to send a power-down command to and disconnect from each of the detectors that does not detect the signal from a corresponding antenna of the several antennas.

Implementation of improved omni mode signal reception

Space-time-frequency multiplexing (STFM) schemes for radio frequency (RF) scanning are disclosed in which complementary pairs of sequences (or 'Golay pairs') are transmitted at different times using multiple frequencies. The transmission and reception of the sequences can occur over multiple transmit (Tx) and/or receive (Rx) radio sectors to scan an entire area for range, azimuth, elevation, and (optionally) velocity of objects therein.

Space time frequency multiplexing (STFM) for radar systems using complementary pair waveforms

An apparatus and method for performing initial signal acquisition in a receiver of a millimeter wave wireless communication system. The apparatus comprises receiving a millimeter-wave signal including complementary sequences at the receiver; cross-correlating the received signal related to the received complementary sequences with respective predefined complementary sequences, wherein the received complementary sequences include a first type of complementary sequences and a second type of complementary sequences; performing a signal sequence detection by auto-correlating the cross-correlated first type of complementary sequences and comparing the auto-correlated results to an energy dependent threshold; and upon detection of the signal sequence, performing a timing synchronization to synchronize a start frame delimiter (SFD), wherein the timing synchronization includes in part a search for a peak in the cross-correlated first type of complementary sequences using a SFD search threshold.
