OFDM Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation Using Null Subcarriers
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present two extensions to a previously published OFDM carrier frequency-offset estimation method. The previously presented algorithm is based on locating the spectral minimas within so-called null or virtual subcarriers embedded in the spectrum. In this paper we develop this idea further by using a steepest descent method to find the minima and the estimate. We also study the estimator performance in an environment with a frequency selective channel.

Blind OFDM Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation by Locating Null Subcarriers
We present a novel algorithm for estimating the Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) in an OFDM receiver. The algorithm is based on locating the spectral minimas within null subcarriers embedded in the spectrum. This is done by using a scaled DFT algorithm to calculate the spectrum of the OFDM symbol around the null subcarrier, followed by averaging the absolute square of the amplitude. The method is...

In this paper, challenges regarding the provision of channel state information (CSI) and carrier frequency synchronization for multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems with null subcarriers are addressed. We propose a novel maximum likelihood (ML) based scheme that estimates the aggregate effects of the channel and carrier frequency offset (C...

In this paper we introduce a new method of carrier frequency offset estimation for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. The method uses one or more pairs of adjacent subcarriers within an OFDM symbol. The pairs of subcarriers are modulated with equal amplitude and opposite polarity. In the absence of frequency offset, the received subcarrier pairs also have e...
متن کاملOptimized null-subcarrier selection for CFO estimation in OFDM over frequency-selective fading channels
We address the problem of frequency synchronization in OFDM-based communications systems in the context of frequency-selective fading channels. Frequency offsets are estimated by inserting null sub-carriers into a single OFDM block. The paper clarifies issues related to acquisition range and identifiability of carrier frequency offset (CFO), and performance of estimators. A deterministic maximu...
