Synchronization in WLAN

Preamble Aided Detection (cont’d)
• Delay and Correlate Algorithm
• This algorithm utilizes the same DSW algorithm, but with taking
advantage of the periodicity of the short training symbols at start of
the preamble

Delay and Correlate Algorithm
Two sliding windows C & P
The delay D = the period of the start of the preamble (e.g. D = 16 for IEEE 802.11)
