Analysis on the Characteristics of Timing Synchronization Samples of IEEE 802.11p

IEEE 802.11p is a new standard to support intelligent transport system (ITS) applications which is an approved amendment to the IEEE 802.11a standard to add wireless access in vehicular environments. Timing synchronization is studied a lot for IEEE 802.11a, but for IEEE 802.11p, there is few literature. Therefore, a new method is put forward and the characteristics of the timing synchronization samples are analyzed based on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and international telecommunications union (ITU) vehicular test environments. The analysis results can give help to other improvement algorithm.
