Code synchronization: a review of principles and techniques
A. Polydoros, S. Glisic · 2002
We review the main concepts underlying the derivation of appropriate receivers for code synchronization in spread spectrum systems, emphasizing a likelihood theory viewpoint. Practical structures for the separate tasks of code acquisition and tracking are discussed and categorized. A brief discussion of analysis tools and performance measures is presented, along with design considerations for threshold settings, and impact of fading. An extensive bibliography is also included.>
