一种OFDM系统中的符号定时同步方法

正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)足一种高效的数据传输技术,具有良好的抗频率选择性衰落能力,并且提高了频谱利用率.但是OFDM对同步误差十分敏感,特别是符号同步误差.这样会导致解凋性能迅速恶化,从而使整个OFDM系统性能下降.传统的MLE算法虽对符号定时估计很有效,但在ISI干扰情况下性能不高,Schmidl提出的利用训练序列的同步算法虽对符号定时估计很有效,但在ISI干扰以及低信噪比情况下性能不高.通过对Schmidl算法的改善,提出了一个新的改善算法.通过Matlab的模拟仿真表明,在信噪比较低时,新的算法定时估计性能优于Schmidl的算法.

A New Method of OFDM Time Synchronization

The great advantage of OFDM is that it is robust against frequency selective fading and can improve frequency utilization rate simultaneously. But OFDM is very sensitive to synchronization error, especially the symbol synchronization error. Traditionally,the MLE algorithm is an effective method for symbol timing estimation, but it has poor performance when there is ISI. The scheme based on preamble sequences proposed by Schmidl is efficient for the Timing Synchronization, but it provides bad performance und...
