A Novel Estimation Method for Integer Frequency Offset in Wireless OFDM Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ren et al. presented an efficient carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), which has an estimation range as large as the bandwidth of the OFDM signal and achieves high accuracy without any constraint on the structure of the training sequence. However, its detection probability of the integer frequency offset (IFO) rapidly varies according to the fractional frequency offset (FFO) change. In this paper, we first analyze the Ren’s method and define two criteria suitable for detection of IFO. Then, we propose a novel method for the IFO estimation based on the maximum-likelihood (ML) principle and the detection criteria defined in this paper. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the Ren’s method in terms of the IFO detection probability irrespective of a value of the FFO. Keywords—Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, integer frequency offset, estimation, training symbol

“Faster, higher, stronger”– the Olympic motto is being pursued and practised in the design of broadband wireless communication systems. Motivated by the huge demands for fast and reliable communications over wireless channels, broadband communication systems are required to provide faster (lowcomplexity) data processing, higher data throughput and stronger (lower error rate) performance. In pra...
متن کاملTime and Frequency Synchronisation in 4G OFDM Systems
This paper presents a complete synchronisation scheme of a baseband OFDM receiver for the currently designed 4G mobile communication system. Since the OFDM transmission is vulnerable to time and frequency offsets, accurate estimation of these parameters is one of the most important tasks of the OFDM receiver. In this paper, the design of a single OFDM synchronisation pilot symbol is introduced....
