Abstract
A method for estimating timing in a wireless communication comprises the steps of receiving a plurality of symbol bursts corresponding to a plurality of time slots and selecting a subset of symbols from a first symbol burst of the plurality of symbol bursts. The subset comprises a first midamble symbol. The method further comprises the steps of calculating, for each symbol in the subset, a corresponding midamble estimation error, and determining the lowest calculated midamble estimation error to determine a timing for the first symbol burst. The method further comprises the steps of processing the first symbol burst utilizing the timing determined for the first symbol burst, and processing a second symbol burst of the plurality of symbol bursts utilizing the timing determined for the first symbol burst.
