Method, systems, and computer readable media for efficient generation of narrowband internet of things (IoT) uplink signals

摘要

A method for efficient generation of a narrowband IoT uplink signal includes generating an under-sampled sequence of samples of a narrowband IoT uplink signal, identifying symbol boundaries in the sequence of samples that do not correspond to sample times, for each symbol boundary that does not correspond to one of the sample times: extrapolating, from a signal phase value for a sample at a last sample time before the symbol boundary, a signal phase value for a sample at a first sample time after the symbol boundary; calculating and applying a phase jump to the sample at the first sample time after the symbol boundary to generate a new phase value for the sample at the first sample time after the symbol boundary, wherein the phase jump is applied from the phase value extrapolated from the last sample time before the symbol boundary; and using the new phase value for the first sample time after the symbol boundary to calculate amplitude of the sample at the first sample time after the symbol boundary. The method further includes outputting the under-sampled sequence of samples for further uplink signal processing.
