In long-term evolution (LTE) systems, there is an option to extend the size of the cyclic-prefix (CP) when the propagation environment is characterized by severe time dispersion. Such a peculiar feature makes the system more resilient against multipath distortions, but inevitably complicates the downlink synchronization task, which cannot be accomplished through conventional techniques devised for a specified CP size. In this paper, we study the problem of CP length detection in the LTE downlink in the presence of a timing uncertainty and frequency offset. In contrast to previous investigations based on heuristic arguments, our approach relies on the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation criterion. Furthermore, it accounts for the irregular LTE symbol (characterized by a different CP size), which is present in the normal CP operation mode. The resulting scheme operates in the time-domain and computes a different metric for each possible position of the irregular symbol within the observation window. Due to its flexibility, the proposed ML approach can be applied to any future multicarrier standard for the design of a CP length detection algorithm, either in the presence or in the absence of irregular symbols.
