A novel preamble structure is proposed for a timing estimation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems such as the IEEE 802.11 and the IEEE 802.15.4g/4m. The boundary estimation becomes easy because of the outstanding correlation property between the short training sequence (STS) and the proposed long training sequence (LTS). The proposed method can be applied to OFDM systems which use STS and LTS preamble structures. The proposed LTS scheme considerably improves the performance of timing estimation in comparison with the method of using legacy LTS. This method has been applied to the IEEE 802.15.4m standard.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
