We consider a comprehensive synchronization strategy for burst-mode transmission of shaped-offset quadrature phase-shift keying (SOQPSK) signals over the additive white Gaussian noise channel. Due to the similarities between SOQPSK and continuous phase modulation (CPM), we make use of recent results for synchronization of burst-mode CPMs. We first derive a training sequence that is optimal in the sense that it jointly minimizes the Cramér–Rao bounds (CRBs) for frequency offset, phase offset, and timing offset estimation. Additionally, we develop a maximum likelihood data-aided algorithm for joint estimation of the synchronization parameters for SOQPSK signals. We show that the proposed algorithm for the optimal training sequence can be adapted to work with the suboptimal training sequence that is being considered for use in burst-mode integrated network enhanced telemetry. This demonstrates an immediate practical application for our approach. We present numerical results on the mean-squared error performance of the proposed algorithm for both training sequences and for different versions of SOQPSK. The numerical results show that our joint estimation algorithm yields performance that is very close to the CRBs for all three synchronization variables. Finally, we compare the overall performance of our proposed training sequence and synchronization algorithm for different sequence lengths by simulating a burst-mode SOQPSK receiver. This allows us to employ the right training sequence length based on the desired complexity and bit error rate performance.
