Abstract
A method for handling missing or untimely synchronization signals in digital communications systems. Upon detecting the absence of a synchronization signal, an estimation of the absent synchronization signal is made based on a plurality of previously received synchronization signals, and the estimated synchronization signal is used in place of the absent synchronization signal. The estimated synchronization signal is corrected upon the receipt of a subsequent synchronization signal.
