The synchronization algorithm of IEEE 802.11a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) has three consecutive processes, which use a short code training symbol, a long code training symbol and a pilot symbol respectively. But in using this synchronization processes, the actual embodiment has two problems. First, the synchronization process has the complex structure using a long code training symbol and a pilot symbol. Second, since the long training symbol is only compensated with the offset correction coefficient, it can not be trusted perfectly. If the equalizer coefficient is obtained in this unstable period, the system performance is degraded. In particular, the system performance becomes worst in case of the 54 Mbps transmission system using the maximum length of data. In this paper, the new algorithm is proposed which can resolve the embodiment complexity of synchronization processes and structural defect, and also it is confirmed by simulation.

The time synchronization method for Multi-band UWB systems is proposed. We analyze the performance in symbol synchronization using a training symbol with two identical halves. The two halves of the training symbol are made identical by transmitting a modulated sequence on the even frequencies, while zeros are used on the odd frequencies.

This paper proposes a symbol timing recovery method that is simple in structure and can provide high speed symbol synchronization. Transmitter and receiver are not synchronized in communication systems using digital modulation. Receiver should search the timing variation of transmitter continuously. The proposed timing recovery method searches sample position by comparing previous sample value with next sample value. This method can be applied to digital and optical transceivers with high data rate.

Three synchronization issues, i.e., phase, frequency, and symbol time, have to be properly controlled to achieve distributed beamforming gain. In this paper, the impacts of synchronization errors in distributed beamforming are analyzed for both single-carrier and OFDM systems. When the channel is constant over a symbol duration, the performance degradation due to phase offset is the same for both single-carrier and OFDM systems. For symbol timing offset in OFDM systems, high frequency subcarriers are more susceptible as compared to low frequency ones. Frequency offset is critical in OFDM systems since it leads to interference from the other subcarriers as well as power loss in the desired signal.

In this paper, we propose a new frame structure and frame synchronization algorithm for OFDM burst mode transmission. On the contrary to conventional OFDM symbol based methods, the proposed preamble for symbol frame synchronization is designed independently in time domain in arbitrary length and is placed at the beginning of the frame. The proposed frame synchronization algorithm by using the preamble is working independent of frequency offset and robust to serious channel environment.

In this paper, we present a frame synchronization scheme for high oversampling rate based QPSK receiver system in the underwater acoustic burst transmission. The proposed frame synchronization scheme determines the frame synchronization by comparing a threshold value with the correlation between the received symbol sequence and rotated 16-symbol length CAZAC sequence, which is made by dividing into two 8-symbol length sequences and then concatenating the latter sequence and the former one. If the correlation value is bigger than the threshold value, the frame detector determines that the frame synchronization is achieved at that sample. Also, the approximated performance of designed frame detector is derived and it is well fit the simulated result.

In this paper, we have studied wireless time division duplex(TDD) time synchronization technique considering the propagation delay between mobile vehicles. The existing IEEE 1588 precision time protocol(IEEE 1588 PTP) algorithm was applied and the time synchronization between the two nodes was achieved through the propagation delay and clock offset time correction calculated between master slave nodes during wireless TDD communication. The time synchronization process and procedure of IEEE 1588 PTP algorithm were optimized, thereby reducing the propagation delay error sensitivity for real-time moving vehicles. The sync flag signal generated through the time correction has a time synchronization accuracy of max +252.5 ns within 1-symbol(1.74 M symbol/sec, ${\pm}287.35ns$) through test and measurement, and it was confirmed that the time synchronization between master slave nodes can be achieved through sync flag signal generated during GPS disturbance.

In this paper a simpel algorithm for all-digial high speed symbol synchronization is proposed. The proposed algorithm has a structure based on BECM (band-edge component maximization). The algorithm requires only tow samples per symbol for its operation. We analyze and evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the gardner algorithm in narrowband.

This paper proposes a symbol synchronization method in the IEEE 802.11a wireless OPDM system, which uses only signs of the in-phase and the quadrature signals in the short preamble. The short preamble is sampled with 2 tines of Nyquist sampling rate and both of the autocorrelation and the cross-relation are used in the proposed method. This method has some advantages that the ACG (Automatic Gain Control) can be processed concurrently during the short preamble and its implementation is not much complicated. The proposed symbol synchronization method is verified through simulations on frequency offset, multi-path and white Gaussian noise.

To recover transmitted signal perfectly at DTV receiver, we have to acquire carrier frequency synchronization to compensate pilot signal which located in wrong position and rotated phase. Also, we need a symbol timing synchronization to compensate sampling timing error. Conventionally, to synchronize symbol timing, we use Gardner's scheme which used in multi-level signal. Gardner's scheme is well known for its sampling the timing error signal from every symbol and it makes easy to detect and keep timing sync in multi-path channel. In this paper, to discuss the problem when the received power level is out of range and we cannot get synchronization information. With this problem, we use 2 step procedures. First, we put a received signal power compensation block before Garder's timing error detector. Second, adaptive loop filter to get a fast synchronization information and averaging loop filter's output value to reduce the amount of jitter after synchronization in PLL(Phased Locked Loop) circuit which is used to get a carrier frequency synchronization and symbol timing synchronization. Using the averaging value, we can estimate offset. Based on offset changing ratio, we can adapt adaptive loop filter to carrier frequency and symbol timing synchronization circuit.
