METHOD FOR DETECTING OFDM SYMBOL TIMING IN OFDM SYSTEM

摘要

A scheme for detecting a symbol timing (synchronization) of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system in which a transmitting end inserts a Cyclic Prefix (CP) and/or a Cyclic Suffix (CS) in an OFDM symbol for transmission, and a receiving end uses a new timing metric to detect a timing (synchronization) of the OFDM symbol based on a maximum value of the timing metric, whereby when applying the method for detecting the symbol timing of the OFDM system according to the present invention, the symbol timing can be obtained more precisely, to thusly enable stabilizing of performances of the OFDM system.
