1. A method of performing an echo phase offset correction in a multi-carrier demodulation system, comprising the steps of:
- differential phase decoding phase shifts based on a phase difference between simultaneous carriers having different frequencies;
determining an echo phase offset for each decoded phase shift by eliminating phase shift uncertainties related to the transmitted information from said decoded phase shift;
averaging said echo phase offsets in order to generate an averaged offset;
correcting each decoded phase shift based on said averaged offset; and
further comprising a step of comparing an absolute value of a symbol associated with a respective decoded phase shift with a threshold, wherein only phase shifts having associated therewith symbols having an absolute value exceeding said threshold are used in said step of averaging said echo phase offsets.

Abstract
A method of performing an echo phase offset correction in a multi-carrier demodulation system involves the step of differential phase decoding phase shifts based on a phase difference between simultaneous carriers having different frequencies. An echo phase offset is determined for each decoded phase shift by eliminating phase shift uncertainties related to the transmitted information from the decoded phase shift. The echo phase offsets are averaged in order to generate an averaged offset. Finally, each decoded phase shift is corrected based on the averaged offset.
