Popis: Faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) transmission is a promising technique to increase the spectral efficiency at a fixed constellation size. However, traditional timing synchronization algorithms mostly rely on the eye diagram opening after matched-filtering (e.g., Gardner and zero-crossing). Such approaches are, thus, unsuitable in the presence of the FTN-induced intersymbol interference. In this letter, we first show that FTN signals exhibit cyclostationarity at the $l$ th order ( $l > 2$ ) according to their bandwidth and symbol period. Then, we derive non-data-aided timing offset estimators from the cyclic temporal cumulant function. Besides its relevance for strong FTN scenarios, the proposed solution is also robust to frequency and phase offsets.
