Abstract-This survey guides the reader through the open literature on the principle of initial synchronisation in singleantenna-assisted single-and multi-carrier Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) as well as Direct Sequence-Ultra WideBand (DS-UWB) systems, with special emphasis on the DownLink (DL). There is a paucity of up-to-date surveys and review articles on initial synchronization solutions for MIMO-aided and cooperative systems -even though there is a plethora of papers on both MIMOs and on cooperative systems, which assume perfect synchronization. Hence this paper aims to fill the related gap in the literature.
The Won et al REF , examined about the underlying synchronization in single antenna-assisted singleand multi-carrier Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and additionally Direct Sequence-Ultra Wide Band (DS-UWB) frameworks, with extraordinary accentuation on the DownLink (DL).
