The two synchronization algorithms analyzed are Schmidl and Cox technique and double sliding window packet detection. The accuracy and performance of both methods are quantified in terms of mean squared error between the exact and the estimated start of a frame. It is shown that double sliding window packet detection is more accurate and robust compared to Schmidl and Cox technique. ©2007 IEEE. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 2007 International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2007 ; Conference Date: 25 November 2007 Through 28 November 2007; Conference Code:74506
