Timing‐delay and frequency‐offset estimations for initial synchronisation on time‐varying Rayleigh fading channels

Timing and carrier synchronization in wireless communication systems: a survey and classification of research in the last 5 years

“…3) Literature Review: The summary of the research carried out to achieve timing and carrier synchronization in singlecarrier SISO communication systems is given in Table IV: 1) The estimation or compensation of timing offset alone and frequency offset alone is studied in [34,35,36,37,38,39,42,43,44,49,52,54,59,62,63,64,65,67,68,70,72] and [45,47,53,66,71,74], respectively. 2) Joint timing and carrier synchronization is studied in [31,32,33,40,46,51,56,57,60,61,73]. The categorized papers differ in terms of channel model, channel estimation requirements or pilot/training requirements.…”

“…Note that cyclic prefix can mainly remove the ISI and proper design of the cyclic prefix length has been a design issue under research.
