Successful collaboration in cooperative networks require accurate estimation of multiple timing offsets. When combined with signal processing algorithms the estimated timing offsets can be applied to mitigate the resulting inter-symbol interference (ISI). This paper seeks to address timing synchronization in distributed multi-relay amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying networks, where timing offset estimation using a training sequence is analyzed. First, training sequence design guidelines are presented that are shown to result in improved estimation performance. Next, two iterative estimators are derived that can determine multiple timing offsets at the destination. The proposed estimators have a considerably lower computational complexity while numerical results demonstrate that they are accurate and reach or approach the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB).
