Abstract

A wireless system broadcasts data in frames, each frame having F slots. Output from a matched filter is used to combine K slots to generate profile data, where K is less than F. N peak values respectively from n peak positions are selected from the profile data, where n is greater than one. A correlator is employed, together with the n peak positions and S slots subsequent the K slots, to generate n×S correlation values. Respective combination values for the n peak positions are generated by coherently combining the correlation values, and combining the coherent combination results with the non-coherent n peak values. The combination values are respectively used to generate SNR values for each of the n peak positions. The peak position having the best respective SNR value is then selected as a slot synchronization position.
