Abstract

A method for correcting influence of frequency offset between a receiver and a transmitter by evaluating training symbols received during a preamble period. The method includes producing, based on at least one long training symbol, a first vector whose first vector angle is indicative of a fine offset between the receiver and the transmitter, producing a fine offset estimate based on the first vector angle, and multiplying, with a signal having a frequency based upon the fine offset estimate, data symbols that are received after the at least one long training symbol is received.
