- Abstract
- The present invention relates to a method for timing acquisition and carrier frequency offset estimation of an OFDM communication system and an apparatus using the same.For this purpose the present invention provides a method for calculating at least one auto-correlation and calculating an observation value by performing a sliding sum on the at least one auto-correlation, and calculating a peak point of an absolute value of the observation as frame timing.In addition, the present invention provides a method for generating a third OFDM symbol that is generated by delaying a second OFDM symbol, calculating an observation value through the second and third OFDM symbols, and calculating a phase difference from a result of multiplication of the observation value and a conjugate complex value of the observation value such that a carrier frequency offset can be estimated.According to the present invention, the number of OFDM symbols is sufficient for obtaining timing acquisition with high reliability, and the offset estimation algorithm having a lower implementation complexity is provided such that superior performance is expected and carrier frequency offset with high reliability can be achieved.
