Abstract

A mobile terminal device may include a receiver circuit and a processing circuit. The receiver circuit may be configured to receive a composite signal comprising a plurality of reference signal patterns associated with a plurality of transmit locations. The processing circuit may be configured to identify a first reference signal pattern and a second reference signal pattern from the plurality of reference signal patterns; generate a first offset estimate and a second offset estimate based on the first reference signal pattern and the second reference signal pattern; determine a refined offset estimate based on the first offset estimate and the second offset estimate, wherein first offset estimate has a greater offset estimation range than the second offset estimate.
