Abstract

We consider the problem of joint synchronization and channel estimation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. A new algorithm is proposed that estimates the channel and symbol timing simultaneously by using a technique based on maximum-likelihood (ML) theory and the generalized Akaike information criterion (GAIC). Finally, we demonstrate the performance of our algorithm by simulation results
