Description:
TRS BASED DOPPLER ESTIMATION CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application claims priority to United States Provisional Application No.63/336486, filed April 29, 2022, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD The present disclosure relates to wireless communications, and in particular, to tracking reference signal (TRS)-based Doppler estimation. BACKGROUND The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed and is developing standards for Fourth Generation (4G) (or as Long Term Evolution (LTE)) and Fifth Generation (5G) (or New Radio (NR)) wireless communication systems. Such systems provide, among other features, broadband communication between network nodes, such as base stations, and mobile wireless devices (WD), as well as communication between network nodes and between WDs. Sixth Generation (6G) wireless communication systems are also under development. MU-MIMO With multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO), two or more users in the same cell are co-scheduled on the same time-frequency resource(s). That is, two or more independent data streams are transmitted to different WDs at the same time, and the spatial domain can typically be used to separate the respective streams. By transmitting several streams simultaneously, the capacity of the system can be increased. This, however, comes at the cost of reducing the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) per stream, as the power is shared between streams and the streams will cause interference to each other. Channel State Information Reference Signals (CSI-RS) For CSI measurement and feedback, CSI-RS are defined. A CSI-RS is transmitted on each antenna port and is used by a WD to measure the downlink (DL) channel between each of the transmit antenna ports and each of its receive antenna ports. The transmit antenna ports are also referred to as CSI-RS ports. The supported number of antenna ports in NR are {1,2,4,8,12,16,24,32}. By measuring the received CSI-RS, a WD can estimate the channel that the CSI-RS is traversing, including the radio propagation channel and antenna gains. The CSI- RS for the above purpose is also referred to as Non-Zero Power (NZP) CSI-RS. CSI-RS can be configured to be transmitted in certain resource elements (REs) in a slot and certain slots. FIG.1 shows an example of CSI-RS REs for 12 antenna ports, where 1 RE per resource block (RB) per port is shown. See also FIG 2, which shows an example diagram of time-frequency distribution of symbols. TRS Due to oscillator imperfections, transmission and reception may not be synchronized in time and/or frequency, which can cause inter- and intra-symbol interference. In NR, the tracking reference signal (TRS) was introduced to be used by the WD for synchronization. TRS can be periodic or aperiodic. From the perspective of 3GPP specifications, a TRS is specified as a special kind of NZP CSI-RS where the corresponding NZP CSI-RS resource set(s) containing a higher layer parameter ‘trs-info’. A periodic TRS is configured as one or more NZP CSI-RS resource sets each consisting of multiple periodic NZP CSI-RS resources. More specifically, a TRS consists of four one-port, density-3 CSI-RS resources located within two consecutive slots. The CSI-RS resources within each of the NZP CSI-RS resource set(s) can be configured with a periodicity of 10, 20, 40, or 80 ms. Note that the exact set of REs used for the TRS may vary. There is always a four-symbol time-domain separation between the two CSI-RS resources within a slot. FIG.2 shows an example of a TRS burst of 2 TRS symbols per slot in 2 adjacent slots. NR also supports aperiodic TRS. CSI framework in NR In NR, a WD can be configured with multiple CSI reporting settings and multiple CSI- RS resource settings. Each resource setting can contain multiple resource sets, and each resource set can contain up to 8 CSI-RS resources. For each CSI reporting setting, a WD feeds back a CSI report. Each CSI reporting setting contains one or more of the following information: • A CSI-RS resource set for channel measurement; • A resource set for interference measurement; • Optionally, a CSI-RS resource set for interference measurement; • Time-domain behavior, i.e., periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic reporting; • Frequency granularity, i.e., wideband or subband; • Report quantity which indicates the CSI parameters to be reported such as rank indicator (RI), precoder matrix indicator (PMI), channel quality indicator (CQI), and CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI) in case of multiple CSI-RS resources in a CSI-RS resource set; • Codebook types, i.e., Type I or II, and codebook subset restriction; • Measurement restriction; and • CQI Subband size. Type 1 and type 2 codebooks in NR Type 1 codebook (CB) is typically used by a WD to report CSI for single user MIMO (SU-MIMO) scheduling in NR. A type 2 CB is typically for more accurate CSI feedback for multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) scheduling. In case of type 1 CB, the precoding vector for each MIMO layer is associated with a single DFT beam. While for type 2 CB, the precoding vector for each layer is a linear combination of multiple DFT beams. Enhanced Type 2 codebook in NR In NR 3GPP Technical Release 16 (3GPP Rel-16), the type 2 CB is enhanced by applying frequency domain (FD) DFT basis across all subbands to reduced CSI feedback overhead and/or improve CSI accuracy. QCL Several signals can be transmitted from different antenna ports of a same base station. These signals can have the same large-scale properties such as Doppler shift/spread, average delay spread, or average delay. These antenna ports are then said to be quasi co-located (QCL). If the WD knows that two antenna ports are QCL with respect to a certain parameter (e.g., Doppler spread), the WD can estimate that parameter based on one of the antenna ports and apply that estimate for receiving signal on the other antenna port. Typically, the first antenna port is represented by a measurement reference signal such as TRS or synchronization signal block (SSB) (known as the source RS) and the second antenna port is a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) (known as the target RS). For instance, if antenna ports A and B are QCL with respect to average delay, the WD can estimate the average delay from the signal received from antenna port A and assume that the signal received from antenna port B has the same average delay. This is useful for demodulation since the WD can know beforehand the properties of the channel, which for instance helps the WD in selecting an appropriate channel estimation filter. Information about what assumptions can be made regarding QCL is signaled to the WD from the network. In NR, four types of QCL relations between a transmitted source RS and transmitted target RS were defined: Type A: {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread}; Type B: {Doppler shift, Doppler spread}; Type C: {average delay, Doppler shift}; and Type D: {Spatial Rx parameter}. Multi-TRP Transmission Reliable physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission with multiple transmission points (TRP) has been introduced respectively in NR 3GPP Rel-16 and 3GPP Rel-17, in which a PDSCH or PDCCH may be transmitted over multiple TRPs to improve reliability. An example is shown in FIG.3, where TRP specific TRS and CSI-RS are transmitted from each TRP while PDSCH and PDCCH may be repeated over different TRPs. It is observed by measurements in real deployments that downlink MU-MIMO precoding performance degrades when one or more of the co-scheduled WDs start to move faster than a few km/h. The reason is that the information of the channels, used to compute the precoding, becomes outdated rather soon when this occurs. Thus, making downlink MU-MIMO precoding robust at higher WD speeds is a problem. It has been considered in 3GPP Rel-18 scoping, to extend Type-II CSI feedback with time domain/Doppler information. The problem with this approach is that Type-II CSI computation is already highly complex in current 3GPP releases, including measurements of up to 32 CSI-RS ports. Adding time domain information extraction on top of this makes the complexity for the WD even higher. Another problem is that Type-II feedback does not extend to multi-transmission and reception point (TRP) operation and L1/L2 mobility, since it is introduced with a single TRP based operation in mind. It is also a problem how to make MU-MIMO precoding across multiple TRPs more robust to WD speed while at the same time maintaining low WD complexity.

In some embodiments, the WD is configured to perform, performs and reports, Doppler related measurements based on the TRS (also referred to as the CSI-RS for tracking).

Some embodiments provide tracking reference signal (TRS)-based Doppler estimation. Measurements of the autocorrelation for multiple delays allows for better accuracy in Doppler spread estimates as well as for avoiding ambiguities in Doppler spread estimation. Measurements of the autocorrelation for multiple delays gives information on the variability of the radio channel over different timescales which allows the network node to take better decisions, e.g. on switching between different modes such as CSI feedback mode and reciprocity mode, or to decide on a suitable number of additional DMRS symbols, Measurements of the autocorrelation at large delays, e.g. across TRS bursts, give information on the variability of the channel over longer timescales. This can be crucial when using the autocorrelation to taking decisions of mode switching/selection such as e.g. CSI- feedback mode or reciprocity mode or in the selecting the number of additional DMRS symbols to use. Measurements across TRS bursts of Doppler shifts, frequency offsets, Doppler spread, and Doppler power spectra can give better accuracy for these measurement. This can be crucial when using the autocorrelation to taking decisions of mode switching/selection such as e.g. CSI-feedback mode or reciprocity mode or in the selecting the number of additional DMRS symbols to use. Returning now to the drawing figures, in which like elements are referred to by like reference numerals, there is shown in FIG.4 a schematic diagram of a communication system 10, according to an embodiment, such as a 3GPP-type cellular network that may support standards such as LTE and/or NR (5G), which comprises an access network 12, such as a radio access network, and a core network 14. The access network 12 comprises a plurality of network nodes 16a, 16b, 16c (referred to collectively as network nodes 16), such as NBs, eNBs, gNBs or other types of wireless access points, each defining a corresponding coverage area 18a, 18b, 18c (referred to collectively as coverage areas 18). Each network node 16a, 16b, 16c is connectable to the core network 14 over a wired or wireless connection 20. A first WD 22a located in coverage area 18a is configured to wirelessly connect to, or be paged by, the corresponding network node 16a. A second WD 22b in coverage area 18b is wirelessly connectable to the corresponding network node 16b. While a plurality of WDs 22a, 22b (collectively referred to as wireless devices 22) are illustrated in this example, the disclosed embodiments are equally applicable to a situation where a sole WD is in the coverage area or where a sole WD is connecting to the corresponding network node 16. Note that although only two WDs 22 and three network nodes 16 are shown for convenience, the communication system may include many more WDs 22 and network nodes 16. Also, it is contemplated that a WD 22 can be in simultaneous communication and/or configured to separately communicate with more than one network node 16 and more than one type of network node 16. For example, a WD 22 can have dual connectivity with a network node 16 that supports LTE and the same or a different network node 16 that supports NR. As an example, WD 22 can be in communication with an eNB for LTE/E-UTRAN and a gNB for NR/NG-RAN. The communication system 10 may itself be connected to a host computer 24, which may be embodied in the hardware and/or software of a standalone server, a cloud-implemented server, a distributed server or as processing resources in a server farm. The host computer 24 may be under the ownership or control of a service provider, or may be operated by the service provider or on behalf of the service provider. The connections 26, 28 between the communication system 10 and the host computer 24 may extend directly from the core network 14 to the host computer 24 or may extend via an optional intermediate network 30. The intermediate network 30 may be one of, or a combination of more than one of, a public, private or hosted network. The intermediate network 30, if any, may be a backbone network or the Internet. In some embodiments, the intermediate network 30 may comprise two or more sub- networks (not shown). The communication system of FIG.4 as a whole enables connectivity between one of the connected WDs 22a, 22b and the host computer 24. The connectivity may be described as an over-the-top (OTT) connection. The host computer 24 and the connected WDs 22a, 22b are configured to communicate data and/or signaling via the OTT connection, using the access network 12, the core network 14, any intermediate network 30 and possible further infrastructure (not shown) as intermediaries. The OTT connection may be transparent in the sense that at least some of the participating communication devices through which the OTT connection passes are unaware of routing of uplink and downlink communications. For example, a network node 16 may not or need not be informed about the past routing of an incoming downlink communication with data originating from a host computer 24 to be forwarded (e.g., handed over) to a connected WD 22a. Similarly, the network node 16 need not be aware of the future routing of an outgoing uplink communication originating from the WD 22a towards the host computer 24. A network node 16 is configured to include a configuration unit 32 which may be configured to select a mode of operation based at least in part on the received Doppler-related measurements, the mode of operation relating to at least one of a feedback mode and a number of demodulation reference signals, DMRS. The configuration unit 32 may be configured to configure the WD 22 with an autocorrelation configuration, the autocorrelation configuration including an indication of M time delays, M being an integer. A wireless device 22 is configured to include a measurement unit 34 which may be configured to perform Doppler-related measurements on the TRS according to the configuration received from the network node 16. The measurement unit 34 may be configured to determine an autocorrelation estimate for a channel between the WD 22 and the network node 16 for each of M time delays, M being an integer. Example implementations, in accordance with an embodiment, of the WD 22, network node 16 and host computer 24 discussed in the preceding paragraphs will now be described with reference to FIG.5. In a communication system 10, a host computer 24 comprises hardware (HW) 38 including a communication interface 40 configured to set up and maintain a wired or wireless connection with an interface of a different communication device of the communication system 10. The host computer 24 further comprises processing circuitry 42, which may have storage and/or processing capabilities. The processing circuitry 42 may include a processor 44 and memory 46. In particular, in addition to or instead of a processor, such as a central processing unit, and memory, the processing circuitry 42 may comprise integrated circuitry for processing and/or control, e.g., one or more processors and/or processor cores and/or FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) and/or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuitry) adapted to execute instructions. The processor 44 may be configured to access (e.g., write to and/or read from) memory 46, which may comprise any kind of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory, e.g., cache and/or buffer memory and/or RAM (Random Access Memory) and/or ROM (Read-Only Memory) and/or optical memory and/or EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM). Processing circuitry 42 may be configured to control any of the methods and/or processes described herein and/or to cause such methods, and/or processes to be performed, e.g., by host computer 24. Processor 44 corresponds to one or more processors 44 for performing host computer 24 functions described herein. The host computer 24 includes memory 46 that is configured to store data, programmatic software code and/or other information described herein. In some embodiments, the software 48 and/or the host application 50 may include instructions that, when executed by the processor 44 and/or processing circuitry 42, causes the processor 44 and/or processing circuitry 42 to perform the processes described herein with respect to host computer 24. The instructions may be software associated with the host computer 24. The software 48 may be executable by the processing circuitry 42. The software 48 includes a host application 50. The host application 50 may be operable to provide a service to a remote user, such as a WD 22 connecting via an OTT connection 52 terminating at the WD 22 and the host computer 24.

The communication interface 60 may be configured to facilitate a connection 66 to the host computer 24. The connection 66 may be direct or it may pass through a core network 14 of the communication system 10 and/or through one or more intermediate networks 30 outside the communication system 10. In the embodiment shown, the hardware 58 of the network node 16 further includes processing circuitry 68. The processing circuitry 68 may include a processor 70 and a memory 72.

In FIG.5, the OTT connection 52 has been drawn abstractly to illustrate the communication between the host computer 24 and the wireless device 22 via the network node 16, without explicit reference to any intermediary devices and the precise routing of messages via these devices. Network infrastructure may determine the routing, which it may be configured to hide from the WD 22 or from the service provider operating the host computer 24, or both. While the OTT connection 52 is active, the network infrastructure may further take decisions by which it dynamically changes the routing (e.g., on the basis of load balancing consideration or reconfiguration of the network). The wireless connection 64 between the WD 22 and the network node 16 is in accordance with the teachings of the embodiments described throughout this disclosure. One or more of the various embodiments improve the performance of OTT services provided to the WD 22 using the OTT connection 52, in which the wireless connection 64 may form the last segment.

The reconfiguring of the OTT connection 52 may include message format, retransmission settings, preferred routing etc.; the reconfiguring need not affect the network node 16, and it may be unknown or imperceptible to the network node 16. Some such procedures and functionalities may be known and practiced in the art. In certain embodiments, measurements may involve proprietary WD signaling facilitating the host computer’s 24 measurements of throughput, propagation times, latency and the like. In some embodiments, the measurements may be implemented in that the software 48, 90 causes messages to be transmitted, in particular empty or ‘dummy’ messages, using the OTT connection 52 while it monitors propagation times, errors, etc. Thus, in some embodiments, the host computer 24 includes processing circuitry 42 configured to provide user data and a communication interface 40 that is configured to forward the user data to a cellular network for transmission to the WD 22.

Having described the general process flow of arrangements of the disclosure and having provided examples of hardware and software arrangements for implementing the processes and functions of the disclosure, the sections below provide details and examples of arrangements for TRS-based Doppler estimation. Autocorrelation based methods Estimation of the autocorrelation The auto-correlation function of a stochastic channel h i,j (t) is defined as: where h i,j (t) is the channel between the i th transmit (Tx antenna port at the network node 16 and the j th Rx antenna port at the WD 22 at time t; τ is the time delay; and (. ) * denote complex conjugate. For TRS, a single port is used, i.e., the index i takes only one value and can thus be omitted. Consider R i,j (t, τ) as roughly independent of t over time intervals smaller than some value Δt as long as . The delay τ captures the fast fading of the channel while t captures more long-term changes of the channel, e.g., depending on a change in WD 22 velocity or the movement of the WD 22 into an area with different multi-path characteristics. One may note that for a wide sense stationary stochastic process there is no time dependence in the auto-correlation function. The normalized auto-correlation function is defined as: The auto-correlation function of the channel seen as a continuous time signal (rather than as a stochastic process) on the other hand may be defined as: ^ which may also be normalized as:

Define a time dependent autocorrelation function:

This may be viewed as an estimate of P i,j (t, τ), and, for a slowly varying P i,j (t, τ), can also be used some time into the future, i.e., as an estimate of P i,j (t, τ), with t' > t.

Clearly, the WD 22 doesn’t have full knowledge of the channel in continuous time but rather only has some knowledge of the channel at certain discrete time occasions for which there are reference signals (i.e., the TRS) available for channel estimation.

In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates and for a number of τ values for which pairs of reference signals exist with a distance in time given by τ.

FIG. 14 shows a graph/table of example delays τ fe for which the autocorrelation can be estimated based on intra TRS burst measurements using the TRS signal. Note that for and for there are two samples within the TRS burst that can be used for the measurement, while for and there is only one sample within the TRS burst that can be used for the measurement.

FIG. 15 shows a graph/chart of example delays for which the autocorrelation can be estimated based on inter TRS burst measurements using the TRS signal. Note that for each pair of TRS bursts used, four samples can be used since each burst may consist of four TRS symbols.

In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates for a number of τ values for which the pairs of reference signals with a distance in time of τ where a pair of reference signals may comprise one periodic TRS and one aperiodically triggered TRS (referred to as aperiodic TRS, henceforth), as shown in FIG. 16. In this case, the aperiodically triggered TRS is configured to be QCLed with the periodic TRS with respective to QCL Type A and/or QCL Type D, where applicable (i.e., each pair of periodic TRS and aperiodic TRS used to estimate are QCLed). Note that the aperiodic TRS may also be part of an aperiodic TRS burst containing one or more aperiodic TRSs. In some embodiments, the number of TRS resources and the number of slots over which the TRSs are located (i.e., over one or two slots) is the same between the periodic TRS burst and the aperiodic TRS burst. As shown in M 17, the τ value for a and estimate using a periodic TRS and aperiodic TRS depends on which slot the aperiodic TRS is triggered. In the example of FIG.

16, the aperiodic TRS is triggered slots later than the first periodic TRS burst shown in FIG. 16. Hence, using the first periodic TRS burst and the aperiodic TRS burst, and can be estimated for a τ value of 0.25T TRS-period . The time distance between the second periodic TRS burst shown in FIG. 16 and the aperiodic TRS burst is 0.7 T TRS-period . Using the second periodic TRS burst and the aperiodic TRS burst and can be estimated for a τ value of 0.75T TRS-period .

In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates the integrals over time in and as discrete sums over time occasions.

Referring to an estimate as , some example embodiments for how to perform such an estimate are described below.

Let Xi [n], n = 0 ... N — 1 be the received frequency domain reference signal samples after matched filtering. Index I denotes the different OFDM symbols carrying the reference symbols used for the correlation estimation. The starting point in time of the OFDM symbol I is given by t l (to be precise t l denotes the start of the non-cyclic prefix (CP) part of the OFDM symbol). Index n denotes a reference signal sample index (assumed to be proportional to subcarrier index). In some embodiments, it is assumed that the reference signal used is on a regular comb.

Let P m (n), m = 1 ... M, n = 1,2 be the l-indices of M symbol pairs to use for the estimation of the autocorrelation for a delay Assume that all symbol pairs are separated by the same distance in time (small differences due to the existence of two different cyclic prefix (CP) lengths can typically be safely neglected and thus it is sufficient that the symbol pairs are separated by the same inter symbol distance counted in number of OFDM symbols).

In some embodiments, a low-complexity estimate of the normalized autocorrelation for a delay τ is calculated in the frequency domain as:

In some embodiments, the inverse DFT is calculated for each OFDM symbol I:

The estimate of the normalized autocorrelation over time interval Δt may be calculated as: where the sum over time samples is over sets defined to suppress noise, e.g. by using a noise threshold such as, e.g.: where are noise estimates. Alternatively may be an interval separating the channel from noise based on an Akaike criteria. T he measurement period for may be defined as the interval In some embodiments, the WD 22 measures and reports individual measurement of In some embodiments, the WD 22 performs multiple measurements within a longer measurement period and reports filtered and/or averaged over the multiple measurements within the longer measurement period. The normalized autocorrelation function is the inverse Fourier transform of the Doppler spectrum. It is real valued and takes values between -1 and 1. The estimate may, however, be complex due to a offset in the frequency used for down-spreading by the WD 22 and also due to the limited amount of averaging over time. In some embodiments, the complex valued estimate is reported. In some embodiments, the absolute value i is reported. In some embodiments, is reported. In some embodiments, the WD 22 uses the estimated autocorrelation to estimate the Doppler spread of the channel and reports the estimated Doppler spread. Estimation of the autocorrelation across different TRS bursts If the autocorrelation delay ^ is large, e.g., if the estimation is done across two different TRS bursts ^ being equal to the TRS burst period or to a multiple of the TRS burst period (or an integer multiple of the slot time if the estimation is done between a periodic TRS burst and an aperiodic TRS burst or between two aperiodic TRS bursts), then the WD 22 may have adjusted the OFDM window between the reception of the first and second TRS symbol used in the measurement. This results in a cyclic shift ^9 of the channel impulse response in delay. In addition, phase coherency may be lost, resulting in an overall phase difference between measurements performed at the two occasions in time. Methods to estimate the cyclic shift ^9 of the channel impulse response are given, herein. In some embodiments, the WD 22 compensates for an OFDM adjustment through a circular shift with a number ^9 samples and/or for phase incoherency through a complex phase w , estimating the autocorrelation in the time domain e.g. as ^ In some embodiments, the WD 22 compensates for an OFDM adjustment through a frequency dependent phase rotation and/or for phase incoherency through an overall phase factor l ^} , estimating the autocorrelation in the frequency domain, e.g., as: In some embodiments, the OFDM window offset ^9 samples, is estimated by finding the offset ^9 which gives the best match between the impulse response at the two time occasions. In some embodiments, the best match is defined as the match that gives the highest number of matching peaks. In some embodiments, the phase w is the estimated phase difference of the channel impulse response at the delay 9& strongest peak, e.g., as: In some embodiments, no compensation is performed for phase incoherency, i.e., φ = 0. Note that in the formulas above, it is assumed that there is no phase incoherency or OFDM window change between OFDM symbols Similarly, it is assumed t hat there is no phase incoherency or OFDM window change between OFDM symbols , P hase incoherency or OFDM window change may be assumed to occur between OFDM symbols and This may typically be the case when OFDM symbols K ^ ^ ^HM are all within one and the same TRS burst, while are all within another TRS burst. Generally, w and ^9 can be allowed to depend on m and the formulas should then be modified so that summing/averaging is not made over m or so that summing/averaging is limited to a set of ^ values for which coherency can be assumed. Methods for estimating Doppler spread based on the autocorrelation In the Jake’s model (i.e., for a homogenous channel in two dimensions), the Doppler spectrum is: a nd the autocorrelation which is the Fourier transform of the Doppler spectrum is equal to: where is the zeroth order Bessel function of the first kind, which is shown in the example diagra m of FIG.17. In some embodiments, the network node 16 or the WD 22 estimates the Doppler spread as: w ith the restriction that: In some embodiments, the network node 16 or the WD 22 estimates the Doppler spread as: with the restriction that: The accuracy of the estimates using the inverse of the Bessel function depends on how fast the correlation function changes with , i.e., on the size of: Since the derivative of the Bessel function is zero at zero, small delays result in low accuracy. On the other hand, large delays can give rise to ambiguities in the inversion of the Bessel function. Large delays can also result in an inversion point close to the Bessel function minimum at 3.8317 where the derivative is also zero, resulting in low accuracy. A delay making as large as possible while steering free of ambiguities may be used. This will depend on itself (or equivalently on the WD 22 velocity) in such a way that a smaller Doppler spread (or WD 22 velocity) requires a larger delay. In some embodiments, the network node 16 or the WD 22 estimates autocorrelation for a number of delays with and successively calculates: as long as The last calculated (i.e. calculated for the highest k or equivalently for the largest ) is used as estimate of In some embodiments, the network node 16 or the WD 22 estimates autocorrelation for a number of delays with and successively calculates: as long as: The last calculated (i.e. calculated for the highest k or equivalently for the largest ^ ) ) may be used as an estimate of In some embodiments, the network node 16 or the WD 22 estimates autocorrelation for a number of delays with and successively calculates: and The last calculated (i.e. calculated for the highest k or equivalently for the largest ^ ) ) may be used as an estimate of In some embodiments, the network node 16 or the WD 22 estimates autocorrelation for a number of delays with ( and successively calculates: as long as: and The last calculated (i.e., calculated for the highest k or equivalently for the largest ^ ) ) may be used as an estimate of In some embodiments, the network node 16 or the WD 22 estimates the Doppler spread by fitting to the estimated autocorrelation for a number of delays , e.g., as a least square fit of: In some embodiments, the network node 16 or the WD 22 translates the estimated Doppler spread to an estimate of the WD 22 velocity and reports the WD 22 velocity. In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates the WD 22 velocity as: where is the carrier frequency, ^ is the speed of light and f D is the estimated Doppler spread . In some embodiments, some other assumption on the form of the Doppler spectrum and the autocorrelation is used to estimate the Doppler spread based on the autocorrelation. In some embodiments, the Doppler spectrum is assumed to be a square function: with autocorrelation function: and the sinc function is used estimate the Doppler spread f m either by using the inverse sinc (using a sinc restricted in domain to make the inverse unambiguous) or by fitting estimates of the autocorrelation at multiple delays τ k to the sinc function form of the autocorrelation. Network node utilization of reported autocorrelation based measurement In some embodiments, the network node 16 decides on mode switching based on the estimated autocorrelation at one or more delays. In some embodiments, the network node 16 uses a threshold on the autocorrelation at a certain delay τ to decide on mode switching, e.g., as: In some embodiments, the network node 16 uses the reported autocorrelation to estimate the Doppler spread (e.g., using one of the methods described herein) and use the estimated D oppler spread to decide on mode switching e.g. as: In some embodiments, the Doppler spread as reported by the WD 22 is used by the network node 16 to decide on mode switching e.g. as: Signaling embodiments In some embodiments, the WD 22 can be configured to report the normalized autocorrelation of the channel at a number of delays τ. In some embodiments, the delays τ are preconfigured in the WD 22. In some embodiments, the delays τ are configurable by higher layer signaling, e.g., in a measurement configuration signaling message. In some embodiments, the WD 22 reports a number of normalized autocorrelation values at different delays τ along with the different delays τ. In this case, the WD 22 is not explicitly configured as to which delays τ the WD 22 should feedback normalized autocorrelation. Instead, the WD 22 decides which delay values for which to compute normalized autocorrelation based on available TRS reference, and the WD 22 reports to the network node 16 the delay values and the computed normalized autocorrelation values. In some embodiments, the network configures the WD 22 with N different delay values (i.e., N different τ values). The WD 22 will them compute normalized autocorrelation values for a subset of N’ < N different delay values. This can be beneficial in cases where according to the available computational resources available to the WD 22, the WD 22 may only have computational resources to compute normalized autocorrelation values for only a subset of N’ < N different delay values. In some embodiments, the WD 22 is also configured with the number of samples the WD 22 may compute for each delay value. For instance, the network node 16 may configure the WD 22 to compute and report S different samples of normalized autocorrelation values for a given delay ^. In another embodiment, a finite number of bits are used to quantize normalized autocorrelation values to be reported. For instance, each normalized autocorrelation value may be quantized by X bits. The step size or granularity of the quantized normalized autocorrelation may be predefined in 3GPP specifications. In some embodiments, the step size or granularity may be higher layer configured (e.g., RRC configured) to the WD 22 by the network node 16. In some embodiments, the number of bits X may also be higher layer configured (e.g., RRC configured) to the WD 22 by the network node 16. In some embodiments, the delay values when reported by the WD 22 along with the normalized autocorrelation values are quantized. The step size or granularity of the delay values may be predefined in 3GPP specifications. In some embodiments, the step size or granularity may be higher layer configured (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) configured) to the WD 22 by the network node 16. In some embodiments, the number of bits for quantizing the delay values may also be higher layer configured (e.g., RRC configured) to the WD 22 by the network node 16. In some embodiments, the preconfigured or configurable delays ^ may be a subset of the following values: • Four OFDM symbols including CP; • 10 OFDM symbols including CP; • 14 OFDM symbols including CP, i.e. the length of a slot; • 18 OFDM symbols including CP; • The period of the TRS bursts; • An integer multiple of the period of the TRS burst; and/or • An integer multiple of slots. Note that the TRS burst periodicity is configurable to 10ms, 20ms, 40ms or 80ms in some embodiments. Delays of an integer multiple of the slot length can be achieved by triggering aperiodic TRS’s at suitable time instances. When reporting multiple estimated auto-correlations associated with different delays, in some embodiments, the auto-correlations are arranged in a report in increasing order of the associated delay values, e.g.: For a given reference signal with N1 OFDM symbols configured for auto-correlation measurement, assume there are N2 unique delays over which auto- correlation can be estimated. The WD 22 may be configured to report auto-correlations associated a subset of N3≤N2 delays. In some embodiments, the subset corresponds the first N3 delays Each of the autocorrelations to be reported may be quantized. When only the amplitude, i.e., is reported, it can be quantized linearly between 0 and 1 with a number of bits. In some embodiments, it may be quantized in dBs, i.e., is quantized with a step size of p dBs. In some embodiments, the real part and the imaginary part of the complex autocorrelation is reported to the network node 16. In some embodiments, the absolute value and the complex phase of the complex autocorrelation function is reported to the network node 16. In some embodiments, the complex phase is signaled in degrees and is quantized in equidistant steps from 0 to 360 degrees. The report can be periodic, aperiodic, or semi-persistent or triggered by an event. In some embodiments, a report is triggered when a measurement (e.g. the autocorrelation at a certain delay or the Doppler spread) pass a threshold. In some embodiments, the measurement configuration may include one or more of the following parameters: • What measures to report (e.g., Doppler spread, Autocorrelation,… ); • The delay or delays for which the autocorrelation should be reported; • The maximum delay between TRS symbols that may be utilized for the measurement; • Type of reporting: periodic, aperiodic, semipersistent or event triggered; • The periodicity of the report; • The slot offset relative to the start of the system frame for periodic/semipersistent reporting; • A threshold value for event triggered reporting; • A hysteresis value for event triggered reporting; • ID for the TRS (CSI-RS for tracking) to use for the measurement; • one or more NZP CSI-RS resource sets with higher layer parameter trs-info set to a value of true; in some embodiments a mixture of both a periodic NZCP CSI-RS resource set and an aperiodic NZP CSI-RS resource set may be configured (i.e., when both periodic TRS and aperiodic TRS are to be used for calculating normalized autocorrelation or Doppler spread); and/or • The time period over which measurement filtering/averaging should be performed. Note that one or more of the above parameters may be configured in the reporting configuration instead of the measurement configuration. In some embodiments, the network node 16 configures a WD 22 to measure the autocorrelation at a certain delay and next triggers a pair of an aperiodic TRSs with a separation in time corresponding to the configured delay. The WD 22 may utilize the pair of aperiodic TRSs to perform the measurement of the autocorrelation and reports the autocorrelation and/or quantities derived from the autocorrelation to the network node 16. Doppler shift or frequency offset based Doppler spread estimation The WD 22 may estimate the channel impulse response (CIR) and the corresponding power delay profile (PDP, i.e., the absolute square of the CIR) at a number of time instances at which a reference signal (i.e., the TRS) is available. The WD 22 may identify a number of peaks in the PDP. The WD 22 may estimate the frequency offset for each peak. In some embodiments, the frequency offset is the frequency offset relative to the WD’s receive frequency . In some embodiments, the frequency offset is the frequency offset relative to the frequency of the strongest detected peak. In some embodiments, the frequency offset of peak i is estimated as where δ i is the delay of peak i in the CIR and t 1 and t 2 are the time of the two reference signal symbols used. In some embodiments, the frequency offset of peak i relative to the frequency of peak 0 (e.g. the strongest peak) is estimated as In some embodiments, multiple pairs of reference signal symbols where each pair are separated with the same distance in time are used to improve the accuracy of the frequency offset estimates. Below is a more detailed example of how this can be done. Let be the received frequency domain reference signal samples after matched filtering. Index ^Jdenote the different OFDM symbols carrying the reference symbols used for the estimation. The starting point in time of the OFDM symbol l is given by t l (to be precise, t l denotes the start of the non-CP part of the OFDM symbol). Index n denote reference signal sample index (assumed to be proportional to subcarrier index). It may be assumed that the reference signal used is on a regular comb, in some embodiments. Let be the l-indices of M symbol pairs to use for the estimation for a time offset It may be assumed that all symbol pairs are separated by the same distance in time (small differences due to the existence of two different CP lengths can, however, typically be safely neglected and thus it’s sufficient that the all symbol pairs are separated by the same inter symbol distance counted in number of OFDM symbols). T he CIR ]DE9G is calculated as the inverse DFT for each OFDM symbol l: T he PDP is calculated as: A number of peaks i at delays k i are identified in the PDP. Here, a noise threshold may be used to avoid detection of false noise peaks. Methods to avoid detecting side peaks (sometimes referred to as side lobes) as real peaks may also be used, such as thresholds dependent on the relative delay between already detected peaks and candidate peaks. In some embodiments, the frequency offset for a peak i at delay k i is calculated as: In some embodiments, the frequency offset of peak i at delay 9 ^ relative to the frequency of peak 0 (e.g. the strongest peak) is estimated as: If the delay τ is large, e.g.,. if the estimation is done across two different TRS bursts ^ being equal to the TRS burst period or to a multiple of the TRS burst period, then the WD 22 may have adjusted the OFDM window between the reception of the first and second TRS symbol used in the measurement. This results in a cyclic shift ^9 of the channel impulse response in delay. In addition, phase coherency may be lost resulting in an overall phase difference between measurements performed at the two occasions in time. Methods are presented to estimate the cyclic shift ^9 of the channel impulse response are given. Based on estimated cyclic shift ^9^ the formula above for the frequency offset for a peak i at delay 9 ^ can be adjusted as: Similarly, the equation for the frequency offset of peak i at delay relative to the frequency of peak 0 (e.g. the strongest peak) can be adjusted as: To compensate for phase coherency, the frequency offset for a peak at delay is estimated as: where w is an estimate of the phase offset. In some embodiments, w is an estimate of the phase difference of the channel impulse response at the delay 9& of the strongest peak, estimated e.g. as: Note that the frequency offset relative to a peak 0: is by construction independent of such a phase offset. In some embodiments, the Doppler spread is estimated as: The accuracy of the different frequency offsets is typically different due to varying strengths of the different peaks, for example. This is not taken into account in the measure above, which may lead to the accuracy of the Doppler spread estimate not improving with SINR as might be expected. As SINR increases, additional peaks can be detected above noise and interference. The new peaks have the potential to reduce the bias of the estimate, but since they are close to the noise and interference level the accuracy of the frequency offset estimates is low, which impacts the accuracy of the Doppler spread estimate. This can be solved by a number of alternative methods described below. In some embodiments, the Doppler spread is estimated as: where ¡ is the power of the strongest detected peak and ² is a threshold parameter between 0 and 1 I.e., only peaks with a power above a threshold relative to the strongest peaks are included. Viewed as an estimate of the maximum Doppler spread this may introduce a stronger bias. Seen as an alternative measure of Doppler spread, this is however not the case. In some embodiments, the relative threshold is preconfigured for the WD 22. In some embodiments, the relative threshold ² is signaled to the WD 22. In some embodiments, the relative threshold is signaled in logarithmic scale to the WD 22 as dB. In some embodiments, the Doppler spread is estimated as: where j ^ is an estimate of the variance of the frequency shift estimate and is a positive constant. In some embodiments, the Doppler spread is estimated as: where A and B are given by solving for A and B in: for some parameter value p between 0 and 1, where is the frequency offset of peak i, while $ is the estimated frequency offset of peak i. Note that K is the probability that B is an overestimate o f the maximum frequency offsets among the identified peaks and that i s the probability that B is an underestimate of the maximum Doppler shift among the identified peaks. Similarly is the probability that A is an underestimate of the minimum frequency offset among the identified peaks and that is the probability that A is an overestimate of the maximum Doppler shift among the identified peaks. In some embodiments, probabilities are approximated as: and solve for A and B in: The WD 22 may report the Doppler spread f D as estimated by some of the above methods to the network node 16. In some embodiments, the WD 22 translates the estimated Doppler spread to an estimate of the WD 22 velocity and reports the WD 22 velocity. In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates the WD 22 velocity as: where is the carrier frequency, ^ is the speed of light and f D is the estimated Doppler spread . In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates the nth moment around the weighted mean of the frequency offsets of the identified peaks as: where the weighted mean of the frequency shifts is calculated as In some embodiments, the weights used are where is an estimate of the variance of the frequency shift estimate In some embodiments, the weights used are is an estimate of the power of peak i . The WD 22 estimates one or more of the nth moments and reports them to the network node 16. Signaling embodiments for Doppler shift or frequency offset based methods In some embodiments, the WD 22 may report the identified peaks including for each peak i one or more of the following estimates: • The frequency offset • The peak power • The peak • The estimated variance of the frequency offset estimate and/or • The peak delay In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates the Doppler spread based on the frequency offsets and reports the Doppler spread to the network node 16. In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates one or more of the nth moments of the frequency offsets and reports them to the network node 16. In some embodiments, the Doppler spread is estimated such that X% of the total received signal energy is contained between the estimated minimum and maximum Doppler frequencies, where X% can be 90% for example. An example is illustrated in the diagram of FIG.18 where the estimated Doppler spread is In some embodiments, a report is triggered when a measure (e.g., the Doppler spread) passes a threshold. In some embodiments, the measurement configuration may include one or more of the following parameters: • What measures to report (e.g., Doppler spread, Frequency offsets per peak,… ); • The maximum delay between TRS symbols that may be utilized for the measurement; • Type of reporting: periodic, aperiodic, semipersistent or event triggered; • The periodicity of the report; • The slot offset relative to the start of the system frame for periodic/semipersistent reporting; • A threshold value for event triggered reporting; • A hysteresis value for event triggered reporting; • ID for the TRS (CSI-RS for tracking) to use for the measurement; and/or • The time period over which measurement filtering/averaging should be performed. Note that one or more of the above parameters may be configured in the reporting configuration instead of the measurement configuration. Matching of the channel impulse response at different time instances The WD 22 may sometimes adjust the OFDM window based on the form of the estimated channel impulse response, for example. Such an adjustment results in a cyclic shift of the channel impulse response in delay. This should not happen within a slot and it should not happen within a TRS burst. It may, however, very well happen between TRS bursts. Several methods described here, rely on a condition that the channel impulse response for two different times is combined at the same delay. It may be necessary to adjust for such OFDM window adjustments, i.e., to identify the cyclic shift ^9 in delay, in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the WD 22 estimates the OFDM window offset ^9based on an internal clock. In some embodiments, the matching of the channel impulse responses is performed based on a machine learning algorithm. In some embodiments, the machine learning (ML) algorithm is trained with real or synthetic channel data for pairs of time occasions at a certain separation in time, where one of the two channel impulse responses is artificially rotated cyclically a random number of steps and the ML algorithm is trained to identify the number of steps one of the two channel impulse responses has been cyclically rotated. In some embodiments, the OFDM window offset ^9 samples, is estimated by finding the offset ^9 which gives the best match between the impulse response at the two time occasion. In some embodiments, the best match is defined as the match that gives the highest number of matching peaks. In some embodiments, the OFDM window offset ^9 samples is estimated by finding the offset ^9 which minimizes a cost function. In some embodiments, the cost function is a sum of terms, with one term for each combination of a peak identified in a first symbol and a peak identified in a second symbol and each term is a function of the circular distance between the two peaks after a circular shift ^9 being performed on the second peak. In some embodiments, the terms are weighted based on the peak powers. In some embodiments, the terms are weighted based on the peak SINR. Some embodiments include letting be the received frequency domain reference signal samples after matched filtering. Let index ldenote the different OFDM symbols carrying the reference symbols used for the estimation. The starting point in time of the OFDM symbol l is given by t l (to be precise t l denotes the start of the non-CP part of the OFDM symbol). Index n denotes a reference signal sample index (assumed to be proportional to subcarrier index). It is assumed that the reference signal used is on a regular comb. Let be the ^-indices of M symbol pairs to use for the estimation for a time offse Assume that all symbol pairs are separated by the same distance in time (small differences due to the existence of two different CP lengths can, however, typically be safely neglected and thus, it is sufficient that all symbol pairs are separated by the same inter symbol distance counted in number of OFDM symbols). T he may be calculated as the inverse DFT for each OFDM symbol l: T he G may be calculated as: A number of peaks j at delays are identified in each PDB, i.e., for each symbol H ere, a noise threshold may be used to avoid detection of false noise peaks. Methods to avoid detecting side peaks (sometimes referred to as side lobes) as real peaks may also be used, such as thresholds dependent on the relative delay between already detected peaks and candidate peaks. In some embodiments, the OFDM window offset samples may be estimated by finding the offset ^9 which minimizes a cost function. In some embodiments, the cost function is a sum of terms, with one term for each combination of a peak identified in a first symbol and a peak identified in a second symbol and each term is a function of the circular distance between the two peaks after a circular shift ^9 being performed on the second peak,e.g. as: where is the delay in units of time samples of the jth identified peak in OFDM symbol s, and the circular distance is defined as: À In some embodiments, the term wise cost function v is a square function for some parameter value a, e.g., some value a with size of the same order of magnitude as the inverse of the Nyquist frequency in units of time samples. In some embodiments, the function v is a gaussian: In some embodiments, the term in the cost function is weighted, e.g. with weights depending on the power of the peaks or the peak SINR, e.g. as: In some embodiments, the term in the cost function is weighted with weights depending on the peak SINR, e.g. as: where j ^ is the estimated variance of noise and interference in symbol s. In some embodiments: Note that in the formulas above it’s assumed that there is no OFDM window change between OFDM symbols Similarly it is assumed that there is no OFDM window change between OFDM symbols An OFDM window change is only assumed to occur between OFDM symbols in this example This may typically be the case when OFDM symbols are all within one and the same TRS burst, while are all within another TRS burst. Generally, can be allowed to depend on m and the formulas should then be modified so that summing/averaging is not made over m and m' or so that summing/averaging is limited to a set of m and m'values for which coherency may be assumed. Mode switching In some embodiments, the estimates of autocorrelation, Doppler spread or WD 22 velocity may be used by the network node 16 to switch mode, e.g., using thresholds of the following type: The pair of modes switching is performed between may be, for example: • SRS based reciprocity mode vs. CSI feedback based mode; • No additional DMRS symbols vs. One additional DMRS symbol; and/or • Two additional DMRS symbols vs. Three additional DMRS symbols. In some embodiments, the network node 16 takes the decision on mode switching based on a number of parameters, including one or more of the following parameters: • Estimated autocorrelation at one or more delays; • Estimated Doppler spread; and/or • Estimated WD 22 velocity. Higher layer configuration Some embodiments use higher layer signaling to enable TRS-based Doppler estimation.

A typical event can be number of times a function of calculated autocorrelation value fluctuates above and below a threshold a certain number of times. Use of other signals than the TRS and measurements performed by network node 16 The methods described here have been based on the use of the TRS signal (CSI-RS for tracking). They may, however, be used based on other reference signals such as, e.g., other types of CSI-RS, uplink and downlink DMRS, and uplink SRS. FIGS.19 and 20 are flowcharts of example processes in a WD 22 (FIG.19) and a network node 16 (FIG.20), according to principles disclosed herein.

When the network node 16 performs the measurements, no signaling is needed to report the measurements from the WD 22 to the network node 16. The network node 16 may use the measurements directly, e.g., to decide on mode switching.
