Summary: 
A robust time and frequency synchronization scheme is proposed for the high rate OFDM-based wireless local area networks (WLANs). The IEEE 802.11a standardized preamble is efficiently utilized and makes the proposed scheme practical. Simulation results under different channel environments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
