Abstract

A system and method are disclosed to synchronize adaptively a transform window in a multiple sub-carrier communication system based on analysis of a time domain channel impulse response. A set of frequency domain channel estimates, derived from received and one-dimensional Wiener filter interpolated channel estimates, are transformed into a time domain channel impulse response estimate containing multiple, repeated constituent responses. Each order of the constituent responses in the time domain channel impulse response estimate is associated with a two-dimensional Wiener interpolation filter. The set of two-dimensional Wiener interpolation filters generate interpolated channel estimates to compare with received channel estimates to determine a best channel impulse response order of the constituent responses. The transform window is adaptively updated using the best channel impulse response order.
