Abstract

This paper deals with symbol timing synchronization issue for broadband OFDM based mobile communication system. A symbol timing approach using adaptive threshold is proposed. Several OFDM training symbol formats and the corresponding timing metrics are evaluated. Simulations am carried out using Rayleigh fading model at 5 GHz band, with the velocity being 100 km/h and 150 km/h. The performances of the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed symbol timing method is feasible for mobile telecommunications.
