Synchronization Algorithms

Frame synchronization

• Detect the start of the frame.

• Search for known preamble.

• OFDM preamble has unique properties.

• Based on correlation technique.

Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO)

•Local oscillators mismatch.• ICI occurs. •Loss of orthogonality.

CFO(cont’d)• Fine frequency offset, Through maximum

likelihood estimator

• Coarse frequency offset, through correlation process.
