Abstract
A simple algorithm for detection of timing error of a synchronous, band-limited, BPSK or QPSK data stream is proposed. The algorithm requires only two samples per symbol for its operation. One of the two samples is also used for the symbol decision. Derivation of the s curve reveals a sinusoidal shape.

A configurable symbol timing recovery based on FPGA with fast convergence to synchronization

TL;DR: A configurable STR using digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, with fast convergence time that can be achieved by searching for the minimum timing error within each symbol period, and then capturing the associated optimal symbol sample at the zero-crossing of the filtered signal.

Tracking loop for IR-UWB communications in IEEE 802.15 multi-path channels

TL;DR: A novel hybrid synchronous sampling timing locked loop, the crucial unit of TLL, is realized based on a maximum-likelihood estimation method and both mathematical analysis and simulations indicate a high performance of the proposed TLL at low signal to noise rate.

Analysis and comparison of two discrete phase control digital bit synchronizers

TL;DR: Random walk models are used to analyze the performance of two digital bit synchronizers that use hard limiting of the received signal, and that allow the estimated timing phase to change by a fixed amount in each symbol period.

Burst transmission symbol synchronization in the presence of cycle slip arising from different clock frequencies

TL;DR: In this paper, the Gardner detector is employed to recover a fixed timing offset, and its output is processed such that timing drifts can be estimated and corrected in a two-step algorithm, and then symbol's timing offset is synchronized in an iterative manner.
