Abstract
Synchronization for both time and frequency is a important technology in OFDM systems. In this paper, we design a novel synchronization algorithm based on special preamble structure which includes timing synchronization, fraction frequency offset estimation and integer frequency offset estimation. All synchronization procedure can be completed in time domain, so the algorithm is simple and practical. Simulation results show that the timing synchronization has a high performance even at low SNR in multipath channel and the frequency offset synchronization have a dynamical estimation range and a satisfactory performance.
