Abstract :
A novel timing estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. The proposed method can be applied to OFDM systems with any preamble structure, and results in a remarkable increase in estimation accuracy of more than 5 dB in terms of squared error.
