A method and apparatus for performing time synchronization and an OFDMA receiver thereof are provided. The method preferably includes performing a differential phase correlation in a frequency domain based on one received sequence and one reference preamble and detecting an integer frequency offset based on a result of the differential phase correlation. The method and apparatus advantageously enable the use of one OFDM symbol to estimate ICFO and the use of a simple method to facilitate ICFO detection. Moreover, the performance of the integer frequency offset estimation becomes more robust in high noise and time-variant fading channels, with reduced hardware complexity.

Method and apparatus for integer frequency offset estimation in wireless communication system

A method and apparatus for time synchronization and an OFDMA receiver thereof are provided. A preamble timing is obtained by a two-stage correlation in a time domain between a sequence of a received symbol and a reference preamble. The two-stage correlation is further simplified to perform a conjugate multiplication between a one-stage correlation and its correspondingly delayed result. A preamble boundary is adaptively determined by a peak value based on a result of the two-stage correlation. In this way, the time synchronization is achieved with a robust performance in a low SNR, high frequency offset or large delay spread fading channel.
