    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.
