This article investigates the advantages and disadvantages of cell search for LTE and NR.
This investigation enables us to design a couple of synchronization signals specified in …

In this paper, we design cell search and synchronization procedures involving the primary
synchronization signal channel for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) 5th …

In long-term evolution (LTE) systems, there is an option to extend the size of the cyclic-prefix
(CP) when the propagation environment is characterized by severe time dispersion. Such a …

This paper proposes a simple method for the estimation of symbol timing offset (STO) and
fractional carrier frequency offset (FFO) in the cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division …

In this article, a complexity-effective secondary synchronization signal (SSS) detection
scheme is presented for fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) communication systems, which …

Sidelink channels have been standardized in the longterm evolution (LTE) to support device-
to-device communications for public safety, vehicular-to-everything services, and other …

Synchronization is a challenging problem of device-to-device (D2D) communications,
particularly when D2D devices are out-of-network coverage. This article proposes an …
