Abstract

In this letter, a timing synchronization scheme is proposed for cooperative WBAN which can be utilized in wireless medical telemetry systems. The approach efficiently exploits the cyclic structure of a presented preamble in order to effectively separate the superposition of cooperative signals. Then, each timing-offset and each channel parameter are estimated in the separated signal. The proposed scheme effectively recovers the original data based on the timing-offset estimates and the channel estimates. The simulation results reveal the excellent performance of the suggested method in terms of MSE and PER.
