The invention is directed to a system and method of regulating a slicer for a communication receiver. A zero-crossing accumulator receives a slicer output from the slicer and accordingly determines a zero-crossing length of the slicer output. A threshold decision unit regulates at least one threshold value of the slicer according to the zero-crossing length.

System and a method of regulating a slicer for a communication receiver

A communication receiver and a receiving method are disclosed. An analog front-end device samples a receiving signal and generates a sampled signal. A signal detector detects presence of the receiving signal according to the sampled signal. A symbol timing recovery (STR) unit determines an optimal symbol sampling point according to a zero-crossing point of the sampled signal when the receiving signal is present, and then generates a recovered symbol based on an optimally chosen sampled value according to the optimal symbol sampling point.
