OFDM Signal Processing and Analysis in the Presence of Noise Using Wavelet Transform for Temporal Synchronization by V. V. Egorov, D. M. Klionskiy

“…The known solutions of the temporal synchronization problem in the case of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal transmission employ a guard interval for computing the periodic autocorrelation function of the analyzed OFDM-signal, which leads to unproductive costs of the time-frequency resource. In this paper, we discuss the problem of processing and analysis of OFDM-signals in the presence of noise and estimation of the time point of OFDM-signal arrival.Aim. …”
