Timing Synchronization for MC-CDMA Systems using a Time-Multiplexed Synchronization Channel

Ky Hong Pham, Long Duc Nguyen

Abstract


In this paper, we present a synchronization algorithm for Multi-Carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) systems using a time-multiplexed synchronization channel. The simulations results show that a system using proposed algorithm has much higher timing detection probability than using other algorithms, especially in exponential decay multipath fading.
