System and method for providing adaptive synchronization of LTE communication systems

A system for long-term evolution (LTE) synchronization in a presence of interference signals comprising:

• a signal receiver for receiving an LTE signal affected by an interference signal;
• multiple parallel adaptive filters to eliminate the contribution of said interference signal to a timing metric of the LTE signal;
• wherein coefficients of each of said parallel adaptive filters are determined by the signal processor using a linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) criterion to minimize output power of each filter subject to the LCMV criterion that preserves received signal vectors of the LTE signal corresponding to all possible primary synchronization signal signatures;
• and wherein the LCMV criterion are updated iteratively using a recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm
• a signal recorder for recording an output of said signal processor indicative of said LTE signal with the interference signal removed.
