Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for frequency offset estimation and interleaver synchronization, using periodic signature sequences, such as Barker codes. The periodic signature sequence is used for interleaver synchronization or frequency offset estimation or both. The periodic signature sequence is transmitted over a certain number of bins in both the upper and lower sides of the DAB signal. Since the signature sequences are assigned to specific bins known to the receiver, any shift of the correlated peak from the expected location due to frequency offset errors can be estimated by the frequency offset algorithm. If the Barker sequence is placed, for example, in the last column of the DAB interleaver, the location of the Barker sequence upon correlation of the received digital signal identifies the beginning of an interleaver block. A Barker sequence is transmitted over a signature frame every L data frames on each side band, where L is generally the number of OFDM frames that can fill the interleaver memory. If the maximum frequency offset is M, then the frequency offset algorithm utilizes a search window of size n+2M (between bins N-M through N+n+M), and attempts to maintain the Barker sequence in the center of the search window. At the receiver, the Barker sequence is mapped to the OFDM signature bins that do not belong to uncertainty regions (the group of bins that can fall out of the receiver processing range for maximum positive and negative frequency offset values). Thus, the Barker sequence bins are processed by the disclosed receiver as long as the frequency offset does not exceed the specified maximum frequency offset.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
