This paper examines a decision-directed timing recovery scheme for filter-bank-based multicarrier transmission. The symbol synchronizer is obtained from a maximum-likelihood approach and uses the digital equalization filters. The algorithm is first derived, the performances of the scheme (timing offset and timing jitter) are then computed, and computational results are provided for high bit-rate transmission over copper wires. Finally, different improvements are discussed.
