Abstract

With the development of technology, the mobile communication system has the characteristics of high rate and low delay. How to deal with the signal quickly and accurately has become a research hotspot. As the first step of the mobile communication system, the efficiency and performance of synchronization directly determine the follow-up signal Processing. In the mobile communication system, the terminal needs to synchronize the frequency and time of the received signal, that is, the synchronization signal is captured and processed. Frequency synchronization mainly carries on the digital down-conversion operation to the signal, the time synchronization is mainly through sliding the baseband signal with the locally generated synchronization sequence to determine the starting position of the synchronization signal, so as to achieve the time synchronization. Therefore, in this paper, taking LTE-A (Long Term Evolution Advanced) system as an example, a low-complexity sliding correlation method based on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is proposed in this paper, which can significantly reduce the computations in the synchronization process the complexity.
