This article presents a non-data-aided adaptive symbol timing offset correction algorithm to enhance the\r\nequalization performance in the presence of long delay spread multipath channel. The optimal timing phase offset\r\nin the presence of multipath channels is the one jointly optimized with the receiver equalizer. The jointly\r\noptimized timing phase offset with a given fixed length equalizer should produce a discrete time channel\r\nresponse for which the equalizer achieves the minimum mean squared error among other discrete time channel\r\nresponses sampled by different timing phases. We propose a blind adaptive baseband timing recovery algorithm\r\nproducing a timing offset close to the jointly optimal timing phase compared to other existing non-data-aided\r\ntiming recovery methods. The proposed algorithm operates independently from the equalizer with the same\r\ncomputational complexity as the widely used Gardner timing recovery algorithm. Simulation results show that the\r\nproposed timing recovery method can result in considerable enhancement of equalization performances
