SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEMODULATING DATA IN AN ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MODULATION SYSTEM

摘要

First incoming data comprising at least one OFDM symbol is received (302). A plurality of timing relationships is determined and each of the plurality of timing relationships relates to an alignment window of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) (304). Each of the plurality of timing relationships is applied to the first incoming data (306) and a plurality of achievable interference metrics associated with the first incoming data is responsively determined (308). Each of the plurality of achievable interference metrics is associated with a selected one of the plurality of timing relationships. The preferred interference metric is chosen from amongst the plurality of achievable interference metrics.
