Synchronization
Timing and carrier synchronization is a fundamental requirement for any wireless communications system to work properly. Timing synchronization is the process by which a receiver node determines the correct instants of time at which to sample the incoming signal. Carrier synchronization is the process by which a receiver adapts the frequency and phase of its local carrier oscillator with those of the received signal.
Specific contributions include both blind and pilot based algorithms for timing and carrier synchronization and channel estimation in OFDM, coperative, distributed, multi-way, mmwave and full duplex networks.
