Abstract

A signalling packet for a communication system has a reference signal to support time and frequency synchronization. The reference signal is modulated so that it varies with time according to a predetermined modulation law. The variation is with respect to both the I and Q channels. Because of the variation with time, receivers can synchronize in frequency and in time with a base station in a simplified manner. Doppler shift can be determined and compensated.
