Abstract

A method for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) ranging is provided. The method includes receiving a signal having OFDMA symbols. An FFT is performed on this signal. Matching ranging codes are found. The power for a given hypothesized ranging code is determined and compared to a power threshold to determine if the code was transmitted. The timing offset and power are reported as the result of ranging.
