Abstract

A mobile terminal device includes a receiver circuit and a processing circuit. The receiver circuit is configured to receive a plurality of reference signal patterns from a plurality of transmission locations, wherein each of the plurality of reference signal patterns corresponds to a respective transmission location of the plurality of transmission locations. The processing circuit is configured to determine a synchronization offset estimate for each of the plurality of transmission locations based on the plurality of reference signal patterns to generate a plurality of synchronization offset estimates; determine if a minimum-valued synchronization offset estimate of the plurality of synchronization offset estimates satisfies predefined criteria; and determine a reception time window for processing data based on the minimum-valued synchronization offset estimate if the minimum-valued synchronization offset estimate satisfies the predefined criteria.
