Abstract :
An approximate maximum-likelihood rule (ML) is derived for joint symbol and frame synchronization with pulse-position modulation, Simulation results show that this approximate rule performs virtually as well as the optimum ML rule over a wide range of practical signal-to-noise ratios. Yet it is substantially simpler to implement.
