Synchronization performance using Scale Time Offset Robust Modulation

Abstract

Scale Time Offset Robust Modulation (STORM) is a waveform design technique involving the simultaneous transmission of a base waveform as well as a time-scaled and time-delayed copy of that waveform. For some applications this technique is attractive as a possible candidate to enhance synchronization performance, due to the different tradeoffs of its performance properties. This paper first presents background for the STORM technique. From there, a theoretical analysis of the performance of STORM as a possible timing synchronization mechanism is presented.
