نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of current paper is to provide an overview of all synchronization tasks to be performed in orthogonal frequency – division multiplexing (OFDM) based communication system. Symbol timing and frequency synchronization solutions in systems with cyclic prefix (CP) are described. Basic channel estimation and equalization based on pilot tones is described and simulation results presented. Alternative channel estimation solutions proposed by various authors are compared. Simulation results of major synchronization tasks are presented. Simulation using Simulink software of communication systems employing different synchronization mechanisms is performed and BERs are determined. The impact of additive noise, multipath propagation and Rayleigh fading on synchronization is reviewed. Methods of improvement of OFDM synchronization mechanisms are outlined.

متن کاملPerformance of Frame Synchronization Symbols for an Ofdm-based Wireless Data Communication System
For an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, frame synchronization is achieved by forcing the receiver to start its FFT at the right time. One way in which this may be achieved is to precede the OFDM data with a special synchronization symbol. In this paper two synchronization symbols are proposed to achieve frame synchronization for an OFDM-based indoor wireless data transm...
