Patent ID: 8199702

Claim:
A wireless network, comprising: at least one base transceiver station; at least one wireless networking device; wherein at least one of the base transceiver station and the wireless networking device are configured to implement baseband recovery by: sampling a received training sequence of training symbols at a relatively low number of times during each estimated training symbol interval to obtain a relatively low number of samples for each estimated training symbol interval, selecting a contiguous subset of the relatively low number of samples, obtaining a first derivative associated with the subset; multiplying the first derivative by an expected data symbol to obtain an error signal for the training symbol interval; accumulating error signals from successive training symbol intervals to form an accumulated error signal; using a first portion of the accumulated error signal to adjust which of the relatively low number of samples are to be included in the contiguous subset in connection with processing a subsequent training symbol; and using a second portion of the accumulated error signal to determine a likely position of a location of maximum eye opening to estimate the timing phase from the training sequence.
