Abstract

The solution presented herein discloses a method of reducing inter-symbol jitter caused while processing each of a plurality of OFDM symbols in a received signal. For each of the plurality of OFDM symbols, the method comprises receiving a plurality of radio samples produced by a sampling of an OFDM symbol at a reduced sampling rate, where the reduced sampling rate causes inter-symbol jitter between the plurality of OFDM symbols. The method further comprises determining a sample offset corresponding to a symbol number for the OFDM symbol, transforming the samples of the OFDM symbol into a plurality of frequency-domain resource elements, and determining a phase offset for each of the resource elements using the sample offset. The method then reduces the inter-symbol jitter by rotating each resource element using the corresponding phase offset to generate phase-rotated resource elements. Corresponding narrow-band wireless receiver, narrow-band wireless receiver apparatus, jitter compensation circuit and computer program product are also disclosed.
