Abstract
A technique for frame synchronization in a communication system includes performing symbol correlation on received signal samples. A determination is made as to whether a magnitude of the symbol correlation is greater than a first threshold. In response to the magnitude of the symbol correlation being greater than the first threshold, an indication is provided that the received symbol is a valid symbol (e.g., a SYNCP symbol or SYNCM symbol). In response to the magnitude of the symbol correlation being less than the first threshold, an indication is provided that the received symbol is an indeterminate symbol (e.g., an invalid symbol or a SYNCM/2 symbol).
