A Low-Complexity Synchronization Design for MB-OFDM Ultra-Wideband Systems
In this paper, we investigate the low-complexity synchronization design for multi-band orthogonalfrequency-division-multiplexing (MB-OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. We propose a unified synchronizer design based on auto-correlation-function. The key component in the proposed synchronizer is a parallel signal detector structure in which multiple auto-correlation units are instantiated and their outputs are shared by other functional units in the synchronizer, including time-frequency pattern detection, symbol timing carrier frequency offset estimation and correction and frame synchronization. We show that, via analysis and simulations, such a design achieves not only a low computation cost which makes it attractive in implementation, but also equal or better performance compared to the cross-correlation based designs.
