Timing and carrier synchronization is a fundamental requirement for any wireless
communication system to work properly. Timing synchronization is the process by which a …

To reap the promised gain achieved by distributed reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs)-
enhanced communications in a wireless network, timing synchronization among these …

Multiple distributed nodes in cooperative networks generally are subject to multiple carrier
frequency offsets (MCFOs) and multiple timing offsets (MTOs), which result in time varying …

We consider an asynchronous bi-directional amplify-and-forward relay network, where two
single-antenna transceivers communicate with the help of several single-antenna relay …

Due to the distributed nature of cooperative communications systems, the cooperative
signals arriving at the destination may not be perfectly aligned, ie, the system is inherently …

In multi-relay cooperative systems, the signal at the destination is affected by impairments
such as multiple channel gains, multiple timing offsets (MTOs), and multiple carrier …

In this paper, we investigate maximum likelihood (ML) time delay (TD) and carrier frequency
offset (CFO) synchronization in multi-node decode-and-forward cooperative relaying …

Successful collaboration in cooperative networks require accurate estimation of multiple
timing offsets. When combined with signal processing algorithms the estimated timing offsets …

This paper investigates pilot-aided channel estimation for two-way relay networks (TWRNs)
in the presence of synchronization errors between the two sources. The unpredictable …

We consider an asynchronous bi-directional relay network (consisting of two single
transceivers and multiple single-antenna relays) where the transceiver-relay paths are …
