    摘要: A method for positioninga collection window for a Fourier transform function is disclosed. A first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol and a second OFDM symbol are received. The first OFDM symbol comprises a plurality of frequency division multiplexed (FDM) symbols. The first OFDM symbol is characterized by at least two of the following: a delay spread, a first arriving path (FAP), or a last arriving path (LAP). A channel location is estimated from a channel impulse response. A point relative to the channel location is selected. A beginning of the collection window is positionedfor the second OFDM symbol at the selected point. Alternatively, apoint is selectedat a first location relative to the channel location using a first algorithm if a delay spread is less than a predetermined length. The selected point is chosen at a second location relative to the channel location using a second algorithm if the delay spread is greater than the predetermined length.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for timing synchronization based on transitional pilot symbols. In an aspect, a method is provided for time tracking synchronization in an OFDM system. The method includes receiving at least one TDM pilot symbol comprising a plurality of modulated sub-carriers that are configured to provide a channel estimate having a length that extends up to a duration of an FFT used for data transmission. The method also includes determining one or both of an instantaneous and averaged channel estimates from the plurality of modulated sub-carriers, and calculating a timing offset based on one or both of the channel estimates. An apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive the at least one TDM pilot symbol, a channel estimator configured to determine the instantaneous and averaged channel estimates, and a time synchronizer configured to calculate a timing offset based on the channel estimates.

    摘要: The embodiments utilize OFDM symbols to communicate network IDs. The IDs are encoded into symbols utilizing the network IDs as seeds to scramble respective pilots that are then transmitted by utilizing the symbols. The pilots can be structured into a single OFDM symbol and/or multiple OFDM symbols. The single symbol structure for transmitting the network IDs is independent of the number of network ID bits and minimizes frequency offset and Doppler effects. The multiple symbol structure allows a much coarser timing accuracy to be employed at the expense of transmitting additional symbols. Several embodiments employ a search function to find possible network ID candidates from a transmitted symbol and a selection function to find an optimum candidate from a network ID candidate list.
