Jiao Xianjun putaoshu at gmail.comcomputer has become more powerful than our imagination. According to my experiences, order of Msps correlation operation can be done in real time by using state of art computer. Instead of cross correlation, we can also transmit a training sequence (for example spread code, m sequence, barker sequence, M sequence, ZC sequence, etc.) to do synchronization and sampling/frequency correlation.
