1. A method of diversity combining of synchronization statistics comprising:
- determining a plurality of diversity observations in a diversity system by calculating a plurality of differential phase metrics at a plurality of pilot tones, the differential phase metric calculated by;
receiving a first OFDM signal at a pilot tone;
receiving a second OFDM signal sent in the same frequency band; and
determining a differential phase metric between the first OFDM signal and the second OFDM signal;
collecting diversity observations on the same pilot tones during a number of uncorrelated frequency hops; and
combining the diversity observations.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the systems and methods described herein may be used to compute a minimum variance unbiased estimator by receiving a first OFDM signal at a pilot tone, receiving a second OFDM signal sent in the same frequency band and determining a differential phase metric between the first OFDM signal and the second OFDM signal. In some embodiments, the differential phase metric may be used to diversity combine synchronization statistics. In various embodiments, the differential phase metric may be used to detect a narrow-band interference.
