Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Carrier Offset in a Variable Bit Rate Orthogonal Multicarrier CDMA
نویسندگان
چکیده
A carrier offset correction scheme based on Maximum Likelihood (ML) method for the downlink of an Orthogonal Variable bit rate Multicarrier-CDMA (MCCDMA) scheme in a fast frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel is proposed and discussed. The proposed methodology assumes perfect knowledge of phase offset, whereas an Equal Gain Combining (EGC) scheme is considered for MC-CDMA detection. Results in terms of minimum mean square error of the residual carrier frequency offset will be presented.

Synchronization sensitivity of multicarrier systems
In this paper, we give an overview of the sensitivity of a number of multicarrier systems to carrier and clock synchronization errors. A comparison is made between orthogonal frequency division multiplexing/multiple access (OFDM(A)) and two combinations of the orthogonal multicarrier technique and the code-division multiple access (CDMA) technique, i.e., multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA), where the s...
متن کاملML estimation of carrier frequency offset for multicarrier signals in Rayleigh fading channels
In this paper, we present a new maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of carrier frequency offset for multicarrier signals in a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel. The proposed MLE is able to achieve wider estimation range of frequency offset with higher accuracy than previous blind approaches by exploiting the intrinsic structure of multicarrier signals. Simulations show that the estimat...

For a few years, multicarrier modulations have been proposed as valuable alternatives with respect to state-of-the-art single carrier ones due to their resilience against interference and channel distortion effects. In particular, many studies are arising about multicarrier-CDMA (MC-CDMA) techniques that provide improved robustness and flexibility with respect to single-carrier spread-spectrum ...

In this contribution we analyzed and compared the bit error rate performance for MC-CDMA (multicarrier codedivision multiple access) systems using IFFT/FFT (inverse fast Fourier transform/fast Fourier transform) and conventional correlation receiver over a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. Carrier frequency offset is considered in the analysis with either equal gain combining or maxi...
متن کاملJoint Impact of Frequency Synchronization Errors and Intermodulation Distortion on the Performance of Multicarrier DS-CDMA Systems
The performance of multicarrier systems is highly impaired by intercarrier interference (ICI) due to frequency synchronization errors at the receiver and by intermodulation distortion (IMD) introduced by a nonlinear amplifier (NLA) at the transmitter. In this paper, we evaluate the bit-error rate (BER) of multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (MC-DS-CDMA) downlink systems s...
