1. An apparatus comprising:

  • at least one processor configured to;

    perform correlation for a hypothesized guard interval in a transmission received from a transmitter to obtain correlation results for the transmission, to estimate noise, to derive a metric by combining the correlation results and the estimated noise, and to use the metric for detection of at least one parameter for the transmission; and

    determine energy for the hypothesized guard interval, to derive a first metric based on the correlation results and the energy, to filter the first metric, to estimate the noise based on a set of elements for the filtered first metric, and to derive the metric based on the filtered first metric and the estimated noise; and

    a memory coupled to the at least one processor;

    wherein an actual length of a guard interval used by the transmitter for the transmission is unknown at said apparatus.
