Abstract
Synchronization is an important design problem for communication receivers, particularly in multipath channel scenarios. Further challenges arise due to the carrier frequency offset (CFO) caused by a mismatch in frequency of the local oscillators. The implementation is also limited by sampling frequency offset (SFO) associated with the drift of crystal oscillators. To account for these challenges, we propose a simple time domain correlation technique that relies on extending the preamble sequence via observing multiple data frames. We consider digital television as an example to show the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Due to self-resolving capability of the multipath components, the technique offers better performance in terms of peak to side-peak ratio than the conventional single preamble-based technique that correlates with a local reference. Owing to an extended preamble in the observation period, the proposed technique is shown to be robust against CFO. Besides, it is demonstrated that the technique shows resilience even in the presence of a strong SFO. Our theoretical analysis and simulated results are found to be in good match concerning peak to noise ratio. Finally, we derive a closed-form expression to compute the probability of the synchronization error that provides further insight into the performance gain offered by the proposed technique.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
