Title
Maximum-Likelihood Detection for Energy-Efficient Timing Acquisition in NB-IoT
Abstract
Initial timing acquisition in narrow-band IoT (NB- IoT) devices is done by detecting a periodically transmitted known sequence. The detection has to be done at lowest possible latency, because the RF- transceiver, which dominates downlink power consumption of an NB-IoT modem, has to be turned on throughout this time. Auto-correlation detectors show low computational complexity from a signal processing point of view at the price of a higher detection latency. In contrast a maximum likelihood cross-correlation detector achieves low latency at a higher complexity as shown in this paper. We present a hardware implementation of the maximum likelihood cross-correlation detection. The detector achieves an average detection latency which is a factor of two below that of an auto- correlation method and is able to reduce the required energy per timing acquisition by up to 34%.
