Abstract

This paper addresses training-sequence-based joint fine time adjustment and channel estimation for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. The proposed approach first derives an optimized threshold that adapts to the channel statistic and the signal-to-noise ratio. Then a practical suboptimal threshold is presented to avoid the estimation of the channel statistic. The suboptimal threshold requires no pre-simulations and performs as well as the optimal one. For performance analysis, the probability of perfect fine time adjustment given a particular threshold is also derived. The theoretical results agree well with the simulation results in both Rayleigh and Ricean channels.
