Abstract

Preamble based synchronization result in performance degradation due to the high time variation in the power delay profile of the channel in fast varying channel. Since most of the timing metric that exploit the preamble is not based on theoretical back ground, it is not easy to find out the reason. In this paper, the behavior of the timing metric in the multipath fading channel is explained.
