Excuse my pop-up into this topic, just let me try to complete: you cross-correlate and obtain the most probable samples and then do your phase noise process on those samples. The cross-correlation is only a filter, a preprocessor for the samples. Am I on the right way?
To some degree. The cross-correlation processing is a tool to break free of the channels added noise and go below it. It doesn't (significantly) shift your amplitude response in the passband, but you can calibrate and compensate that. It's thus a de-noiser tool inserted into the process pipe-line, but other than that the phase-noise calculations is about the same.
To some degree the DMTD technique is somewhat related, but some of the correlation gain is usually lost.
