Abstract
Apparatus and method for communication are provided. The solution comprises obtaining as an input a signal; sampling the signal; feeding the sampled signal to a given number of parallel correlators having a given correlation length, controlling the correlation the sampled signal in each correlator with a unique time shift section of the pilot sequence of the communication system, determining the strongest correlation peaks, and determining on the basis of the correlation peaks and corresponding time shifts the strongest pilots in the signal.
