System and method for providing time offset and frequency offset estimation for vehicle to everything communication system

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor;
• and
• a receiver configured to:
• receive a reference signal from a transceiver,
• estimate a time offset (TO) of the reference signal in a frequency domain based on a spectral phase ramp introduced by the TO and based on an accumulation of subcarriers before cross-correlation,
• compensate the TO of the reference signal based on the estimated TO in the frequency domain by applying the spectral phase ramp to the received reference signal,
• provide a TO compensated signal of the reference signal,
• transform the TO compensated signal into a time domain, and
• estimate a frequency offset (FO) based on the time domain TO compensated signal.

A method of manufacturing a processor, comprising:

• forming the processor as part of a wafer or package that includes at least one other processor, wherein the processor is configured to receive a reference signal from a transceiver,
• estimate a time offset (TO) of the reference signal in a frequency domain based on a spectral phase ramp introduced by the TO and based on an accumulation of subcarriers before cross-correlation;
