Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for detecting transmission of a packet in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A packet includes a preamble which comprises multiple repetition of a training sequence. A signal is detected and the detected signal is correlated with a delayed version of the detected signal which is delayed by a predetermined delay time to generate a sequence of correlations. The correlations are normalized. A difference between a first normalized correlation and a second normalized correlation that are separated by the predetermined delay time is calculated. The difference is compared to a threshold. A transmission of the packet is detected based on the comparison. The first and second normalized correlations may be averaged over first and second averaging periods, respectively. A point generating a maximum difference may be identified, and packet synchronization may be performed based on the identified point.
