    摘要: An embodiment is a method and apparatus to perform symbol synchronization. A sign element obtains signs of samples in a sample vector. A correlation estimator computes a correlation of the sample vector. A synchronization detector detects symbol synchronization. Another embodiment is a method and apparatus to perform frame synchronization. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processing unit computes a current FFT vector and an accumulated previous FFT vector. The current FFT vector and the accumulated previous FFT vector correspond to sample vectors associated with preamble symbols prior to symbol synchronization detection. A real and imaginary processing unit generates real and imaginary summations using the current FFT vector and the accumulated previous FFT vector. A mode processor generates mode flags representing operational modes using the real and imaginary summations.

    摘要: An embodiment is a method and apparatus to estimate channel quality. An absolute processor computes absolute real and imaginary values of real and imaginary parts, respectively, of output of a demodulator. A phase count unit generates first and second phase counts representing deviations from zero phase noise using the absolute real and imaginary values. An amplitude count unit generates first and second amplitude counts representing attenuation of a received signal using the absolute real and imaginary values. An integrator integrates the first and second phase counts and first and second amplitude counts into a signal quality indicator that represents a measure of quality of channel with respect to noise and fading.
