Abstract
In this article, timing synchronization in OFDM is attained with the help of Zadoff–Chu sequence as a training symbol. An algorithm based on the cross-correlation property of fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is proposed to generate a new timing metric. In this algorithm, cross correlation of received signal and Z–Chu sequence is taken at the receiver side in FRFT domain. The mathematical analysis of proposed estimator has been done and the variance of timing metric is obtained under the effect of AWGN channel. The simulation result shows that the variance of timing metric decreases as signal to noise ratio increases. The mean and MSE of the timing offset is simulated under HYPERLAN indoor channel (type-A). The proposed estimation method has been compared with existing methods and established as a better method to combat timing offset.
