In this paper, we propose an adaptive single differential coherent detection (SDCD) scheme for the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals in IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In particular, the residual carrier frequency offset effect (CFOE) for differential detection is adaptively estimated, with only linear operation, according to the changing channel conditions. It was found t...

In present study, using Least Squares (LS) method, we determine the position smoothing in GPS single-frequency receiver by means of pseudo-range and carrier phase measurements. The application of pseudo-range or carrier phase measurements in GPS receiver positioning separately can lead to defects. By means of pseudo-range data, we have position with less precision and more distortion. By use of...

Frequency offset estimation is an important module in the downlink synchronization process of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Research on frequency synchronization of OFDM, a lowcomplexity and efficient method is proposed to evaluate frequency offset in this paper. In general, maximum likelihood (ML) based on cyclic prefix (CP) and primary synchronization signal (PSS) ...

In this paper, an improved residual carrier frequency offset estimation scheme is proposed for ultra-wideband multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (UWB-OFDM) systems. The basic idea of our approach is based on the fact that two adjacent OFDM symbols convey identical information in an UWB-OFDM system. The mean square error of the synchronization scheme is derived, and its simple ...

This paper analyzes the effect of the carrier frequency offset on frequency-domain differential demodulation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The exact signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) expression is derived in the presence of the frequency offset. Using this exact SNR expression, the SNR degradation due to the frequency offset is quantified and the symbol error rate (SER...

The goal of waveform shaping techniques in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems is reduction in out of band (OOB) transmit power as well as reduction in inter-carrier interference (ICI) generated by carrier frequency offset at the receiver. We propose waveform shaping using a linear combination of time-limited polynomial pulses having spectral decay rates of 1=f 4 and 1=f . The re...
