Traditional time synchronization schemes are based on autocorrelation between identical parts of the reference OFDM symbol. However, the time metric of the traditional schemes have a plateau or significant quantity of side lobe. This results in a poor timing synchronization performance. In this paper we are proposing a modified timing metric based on difference of absolute value as a normalized factor. The timing synchronization based on the modified timing metric reduces side lobe and improves the timing synchronization performance.
