Abstract:

The introduction of cyclic shift delay (CSD) is used in IEEE 802.11n to distinguish different spatial streams, however it poses a challenge to synchronization. The traditional synchronization methods, which utilize the crosscorrelation between the local training sequence and the received signal, will cause many spurious peaks and result in deteriorated synchronization performance. A new joint symbol synchronization and fine frequency offset estimation algorithm is proposed. It exploits the structure of IEEE 802.11n preamble and adopts a delaycorrelation algorithm to eliminate the effect of CSD. The proposed algorithm has advantages in avoiding the effect of carrier frequency offset, suppressing the generation of spurious peak results and improving the detection accuracy.
