Symbol sequences having synchronization sequences are transmitted over a radio channel. Received signals are sampled in signal sampling time points (n) and by correlation a channel response (C<2>) is obtained. The impulse response is sampled (Ts) over a period (M x N) corresponding to time dispersion of the channel. For separate samples with separate start points (n), channel estimates are obtained (n = 0, 2, 4, 6, N = 1, 3, 5, 7...) whose energy values are calculated, and the estimate (n = 8, 10, 12, 14) with the largest energy is selected. The first time point (n = 8) in this estimate is selected as sampling time point for the symbol sequence. Alternatively, the signal sampling time point (n = 9) with maximum energy value (C<2> max) is selected. By comparing the energy values either one of these signal sampling time points (n = 8, n = 9) can be selected as the sampling time point for the symbol sequence. For consecutive sequences, an average value for the sampling time points is calculated. Maximum energy of received symbols and simplified signal processing are obtained. |
