Abstract

See full text

A receiver in a communications system is operated by receiving a radio communications signal transmitted by a station of the communications system and generating a correlation output representing a correlation of the received radio communications signal and a subsequence of a modulation sequence that is selected based on a correlation between the selected subsequence and the modulation sequence. The receiver is then synchronized based on the generated correlation output. The selected subsequence preferably has an optimal out-of-phase correlation with the modulation sequence. According to an aspect of the present invention, the selected subsequence has a minimum out of phase correlation with the modulation sequence in comparison to other subsequences of the modulation sequence. For example, the selected subsequence may have a 'minimum maximum' out-of-phase correlation value, a 'minimum aggregate' out-of-phase correlation metric, or a combination thereof.
