<p>Timing and access signals, to be transmitted in designated timing and access intervals, are constructed from orthogonal multitone signals. The multitone signals may be similar to multitone signals used in OFDM data transmission, except that a cyclic prefix, which is associated with reception of the signals in a base station, is extended to cover the timing errors of mobile stations not yet synchronized. Design techniques which optimize the time resolvability and peak-to-average ratio of the multitone signals, an efficient fast Fourier transform (FFT) based technique for maximum likelihood timing estimation, and a robust linear filtering technique for averaging timing estimates from different synchronizations, are also provided. <IMAGE></p> |
