Hi Eitan, it's been a while since I've looked into IEEE802.16, but that's a very regular OFDM system, isn't it, with a fixed OFDM symbol as short preamble (for the downlink bursts), and a 2-symbol preamble for the start of frame?
A simple correlation detector might do in that case; a bit nicer on the acquisition speed per computational effort might be a fixed-length correlator that detects the position of cyclic prefixes and could be applied to a whole burst or even frame to get a good timing estimate before you start decoding OFDM symbols.
