Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for symbol synchronization of received digital signal and a digital signal reception apparatus are provided. The method comprises steps of correlating the received digital signal with the received signal delayed by one symbol so as to obtain a first correlation value result as a combined effort of a strongest path and other paths; removing substantially effect of the strongest path from the first correlation result so as to obtain a second correlation result which exhibits contribution of a fastest path; searching a maximum correlation value and its position of the fastest path so as to determine symbol synchronization timing for initiating FFT processing. The digital signal reception apparatus is characterized by a symbol timing detecting unit for determining symbol synchronization timing of the fastest path through substantially removing the effect of a strongest path.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for a symbol synchronization of a received digital signal in a multi-path environment, comprising: correlating the received digital signal with a received signal delayed by one symbol so as to obtain a first correlation result as a combined effort of a strongest path; searching a maximum correlation value and its position of the first correlation result; removing a substantial effect of the strongest path from the first correlation result…
