One ML timing offset estimation method for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing(OFDM) systems is presented.The performance of our timing offset estimator are compared to that of H.Minn's estimator in terms of estimator variance error in both AWGN channel and multipath fading channel. Because no performance floor exists under high SNR condition,the new estimator can get more accurate estimation result with low computational complexity even under multipath fading environment.
