Abstract :
In this paper, we propose an efficient symbol timing synchronization algorithm for IEEE 802.11a/g wireless LAN systems in multipath channels is proposed. The algorithm utilizes an elongated training symbol together with soft-limiting of the correlator output and estimates the position of the first arriving path. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms conventional algorithms
