Abstract
A method for identifying a reference point in time in a wireless communication system includes: receiving a first repeated sequence of symbols; receiving a second repeated sequence of symbols; performing an autocorrelation between the first and second sequences of symbols; and identifying as the reference point in time an autocorrelation null between the first and second repeated sequences of symbols. Apparatus for identifying a reference point in time in a wireless communication system includes: means for receiving a first repeated sequence of symbols; means for receiving a second repeated sequence of symbols; means for performing an autocorrelation between the first and second sequences of symbols; and means for identifying as the reference point in time an autocorrelation null between the first and second repeated sequences of symbols.
