Abstract
A radio apparatus correlates signal data with stored synchronization data to determine correlation data. The signal data represents a received radio-frequency signal that encodes a data frame, which has a synchronization preamble with a plurality of instances of a predetermined synchronization sequence. The stored synchronization data represents the predetermined synchronization sequence. The radio apparatus identifies a set of peaks in the correlation data, and uses a timing criterion to identify a plurality of subsets of the set of peaks, such that time values of the peaks of each identified subset satisfy the timing criterion. The radio apparatus calculates a correlation score Cfor each of the identified subsets from correlation values of the subset's peaks, and uses the correlation scores Cto select a subset from the plurality of subsets. Timing or frequency synchronization information for the radio apparatus is determined from the peaks of the selected subset.
