To increase the performance of the fine time synchronization, we propose to use joint time synchronization and channel estimation based on the Maximum A Posteriori Probability criterion. Simulation results show that the probability of synchronization failure of the proposed synchronization algorithm is reduced as compared to existing methods. date: 2012-10-10 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Nguyen, Cong Luong and Mokraoui, Anissa and Duhamel, Pierre and Nguyen, Linh Trung (2012) Enhanced Time Synchronization in IEEE 802.11a System using SIGNAL Field and MAP Channel Estimation.
