A permuted sequences combination uses a frame structure in which two sync words, each comprising M complex symbols, are appended at the frame start. One benefit is the reduction of the large variance of the timing estimation error in the conventional correlation method. In at least one embodiment, the first sync word, {right arrow over (s)}1, is a predetermined constant amplitude zero autocorrelation (CAZAC) sequence. The second sync word, {right arrow over (s)}2, is a permutation of the first such that the combination of the two received sync signal vectors perform sliding window processing where the peak occurs at the correct frame start. The permuted sequences combination can be used in both AWGN channel and multi-path environments. |
