Abstract

In this letter, a novel timing offset estimation method is presented for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed method is developed on the basis of the cyclic structure of OFDM symbol and uses a new noise subspace based metric to estimate the timing offset. Simulation results show that the proposed method has a significantly higher probability of correct estimation of the timing offset than the other methods in multipath channels.
