Apparatus and method for coarse timing and frequency synchronization

Abstract

An apparatus including a plurality of multipliers each configured to multiply correlations by a weight, wherein the correlations include a plurality of subsets of correlations, wherein the weight of each of the plurality of multipliers is uniquely different from the weights of at least two of the plurality of multipliers and the correlations; a summation processor configured to sum the weight multiplied correlations of the plurality of multipliers for time n, where n is an integer; and a coarse timing and coarse frequency processor configured to generate a coarse timing and a coarse frequency based on the sum.
