Abstract
Disclosed are a method of and a system for controlling frame synchronization for European Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB), the method including the steps of generating a frame synchronization start-signal with respect to an incoming signal which is input when power is supplied, keeping symbol count values with the value '0' after the frame synchronization start-signal is input, transmitting a frame offset value with respect to the incoming signal, and restarting symbol counting for frame synchronization depending on the frame offset value after the frame offset value is input, wherein the frame synchronization unit may preferably transmit the frame offset value after estimating the frame offset value. In accordance with the method and system described herein, it is possible to achieve frame synchronization in short time, thereby reducing a startup time of a DAB receiver and power consumption which is needed for the frame synchronization.
