Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a method of detecting symbol synchronization information for an OFDM signal, the OFDM signal comprising at least one OFDM symbol and corresponding GI, the method comprising steps of: generating a correlated signal based on each OFDM symbol and its corresponding GI; processing the correlated signal to generate a first conditional signal comprising at least two local peaks; converting the first conditional signal into a second conditional signal comprising a global peak; and detecting the global peak to obtain the symbol synchronization information. The converting step further comprises delaying the first conditional signal by a predefined delay, and generating the second conditional signal by subtracting the delayed first conditional signal from the first conditional signal. With the method provided in the invention, detection of symbol synchronization information for an OFDM signal based on GI may be provided with improved precision, without being limited by the channel spread for the propagation channel.
