Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a frame synchronization method and apparatus, which can reduce impact of a carrier frequency offset. In those embodiment, a solution is provided and the solution includes: obtaining a received signal of a receiving antenna; calculating an auto-correlation value of the received signal and determining a time corresponding to the auto-correlation value that is of the received signal and that meets a first preset condition, as an initial estimation time; obtaining a carrier frequency offset estimation value according to the initial estimation time, the received signal, and a frequency offset estimation algorithm, and performing frequency offset compensation on the received signal by using the carrier frequency offset estimation value; calculating a cross-correlation value and an auto-correlation value of the received signal on which the frequency offset compensation has been performed. The embodiments of the present invention are used for frame synchronization.
