Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the time domain detection filter with a frequency domain detection filter. The frequency domain filter processes signals using frequency-based operations (FFT and frequency-selective combining) instead of time-domain convolution, significantly reducing computational complexity while maintaining detection accuracy for RACH signals in high frequency bands.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the detection parameter domain from time domain to frequency domain. By transforming the detection filter operation from time-based correlation to frequency-based spectral analysis, the system achieves lower complexity while preserving the ability to detect synchronized signals accurately.
