In this paper, we propose an initial timing acquisition algorithm for terrestrial cloud transmission (CTxn) systems. By combining auto-correlations of several repetition patterns within preamble symbols, the proposed scheme can improve the reliability of the timing metric for CTxn system with co-channel interferences. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the reliability of the timing metric for terrestrial CTxn systems.

The performance of a symbol timing estimator for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is analyzed. The expected value and the variance of the timing metric at the correct symbol timing are derived. The performance degradation of the timing estimator due to multipath fading and fractional timing offset is also presented.

In this paper, we have designed MIMO system using F-OFDM modulation. And then, we have evaluated and analyzed synchronization performance of the system. In this paper we have considered Schmidl's method, Minn's method, and Park's method. As simulation results, Schmidl's method has wide plateau of timing metric and Park's method has impulse-shape timing metric. Also, we can confirm that timing metric characteristic of synchronization estimator can be degraded by adjusting filter length of F-OFDM system. Especially, we can confirm that timing metric of synchronization estimator is shifted according to filter length of MIMO system using F-OFDM modulation and this timing metric movement can be compensated by using designed filter length.

Preamble based synchronization result in performance degradation due to the high time variation in the power delay profile of the channel in fast varying channel. Since most of the timing metric that exploit the preamble is not based on theoretical back ground, it is not easy to find out the reason. In this paper, the behavior of the timing metric in the multipath fading channel is explained.

In this paper, an improved timing synchronization method for OFDM system is proposed. In multipath fading channels, timing offset estimation algorithm based on simple correlation metric can cause inter-symbol interference (ISI). The proposed algorithm promises accurate timing offset estimation, which can be achieved by simple windowing. The estimation errors in several multipath channels are evaluated in computer simulations.

This paper contains two algorithms proposed for synchronization in OFDM system. The first is having 1 symbol offset while calculating the timing metric, and the second is introduced in new parameter such as Reduction Factor(${\rho}$), Break Constant(${\beta}_k$) and Implant Depth(${\delta}_I$) in order to control the power of CP(Cyclic Prefix) area. Two proposed method are evaluated performance with conventional methode, and than the result of simulation show proposed methods is better than conventional methode while it experience into multipath fading channel.

This paper presents a simple and fast delay metric RC-class interconnects under saturated ramp inputs. The RC delay metric under saturated ramp inputs, called FDM(Fast Delay Metric), can estimate delay times at an arbitrary node using a simple closed-form expression and is extended from delay metric under step input easily As compared with similar techniques proposed in previous researches, it is shown that the FDM technique complexity for a similar accuracy. As the number of circuit nodes increases, there will be a significant difference in estimation times of RC delay between the previous techniques based on two circuit moments and the FDM which do not depend on circuit moments.

In this paper, we have designed a MIMO system using a W-OFDM modulation scheme. And then, we have evaluated and analyzed synchronization performance of the system. In this paper, we have considered Schmidl's method, Minn's method, and Park's method. As simulation results, Schmidl's method has wide plateau of timing metric and Park's method has impulse-shape timing metric. Also, we can confirm that timing metric characteristic of synchronization estimator is not changed by adjusting extension length of W-OFDM system. Because of this, we can confirm that synchronization method of OFDM can be effectively used in MIMO system using W-OFDM modulation.

In OFDMA system, multiple users transmit signal through the subcarriers assigned to the user. Capabilities of high data-rate transmission in OFDMA system come from the ability to compensate the ICI (Inter Carrier Interference) using a single-tap equalizer and to implement transmitter and receiver by employing high speed FFT circuitry. Issues of time and frequency synchronization in OFDM system is quite essential to preserve the orthogonality among subcarriers not to produce ICI. In this paper, we Int analyze the preamble used in 802.16 d/e and WiBro system. Then we propose an effective timing synchronization algorithm, which is more accurate than the conventional one in the sense of timing position, and integral frequency offset estimation scheme for the simultaneouse estimation of the fractional and integral frequency offset. Through the simulation utilizing the proposed synchronization algorithm and structure, we show that the performance degradation due to the adjacent channel interference can be mitigated for the than conventional ones.

In this paper, we develop a symbol/frame time and carrier frequency synchronization scheme for multi-carrier signaling in wireless mobile channels. The proposed scheme achieves simultaneous time synchronization and carrier frequency offset estimation. Simulation results show that the frequency offset of multiple sub-carrier spacings can be estimated and that performance is improved with robustness regardless of the cyclic prefix length.
