Abstract

An OFDM structure based on super-imposed pseudo-random sequences for time domain synchronization is proposed. A time synchronization method is proposed, which is exactly located in the first channel delay by periodically super-imposed sequences. The amplitude value of each channel path estimated with minimum mean square error (MMSE) can be easily deduced with help of periodical sequences. For depth fading channels, the proposed estimation brings the performance improvement. Simulation results show that the proposed time synchronization and channel estimation algorithm achieve good performances when the super-imposed relative power approximates to 0.1.
