A new joint algorithm between symbol timing recovery and sampling clock adjustment is introduced using the difference of phase changes between the pilot carriers to address the effects of time synchronization errors on OFDM digital communications.
Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of time synchronization errors on OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) digital communications. Time synchronization consists of symbol timing recovery and sampling clock adjustment. In general, symbol timing recovery is carried out before sampling clock adjustment. The main problem with time synchronization errors is that the sample rob/stuff phenomenon due to sampling clock frequency offset leads to adding the symbol timing offset. Thus a more efficient synchronization algorithm is required. This paper introduces a new joint algorithm between symbol timing recovery and sampling clock adjustment using the difference of phase changes between the pilot carriers. The performance of the proposed algorithm is carried out under AWGN and multipath fading channel.

A Frequency and Timing Period Acquisition Technique for OFDM Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a frequency and timing period acquisition technique for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is presented. Butler et al. introduced a pseudo-noise (PN) sequence to assign these frequencies of the pilot symbol so that the acquisition range can be widened for both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and multipath fading channels.
