Abstract

Time synchronization based on primary synchronization signal (PSS) is investigated for 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) downlink receivers. Frequency offset and low SNR are two factors which degrades the detection performance during initial synchronization. In the proposed scheme, the receiver performs sliding differential mirror correlation and further accumulates correlated results of multiple PSS transmission periods. During these procedures, differential operations eliminate the detrimental effect of frequency offset and performance at low SNR is further improved by superimposing multiple correlated results. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can provide robust capabilities under fading scenarios.
