Blind Residual Carrier Frequency Offset and Timing Offset Estimation Using Improved Minimum Output Variance Approaches in Uplink MC-CDMA Systems

This paper deals with blind residual carrier frequency offset (CFO) and timing offset (TO) estimation based on minimum output variance (MOV) criterion without devoting training sequence and pilot symbol for uplink multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems. It has been shown that the performance of MOV estimator is degraded because the effect of noise and wideband spread-spectrum signals. In conjunction with spreading code-aided and subspace projection techniques, we present an improved code-aided MOV (ICMOV) estimator to achieve the high accuracy estimate for the noisy case. Due to more accuracy residual CFO estimate can provide more accuracy residual TO estimate, this paper also present a decision-directed ICMOV (DD-ICMOV) approach to improve the estimation performance of ICMOV estimator. Computer simulations are provided for illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

A simple iterative carrier frequency synchronization technique for OFDMA uplink transmissions

This paper examines the carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation problem in the tile‐based orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) uplink systems, which is very challenging due to the presence of multiple CFOs. The existing solutions to this problem are either too complex to implement or not flexible in subcarrier allocation. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a tile‐structure based iterative multi‐CFO estimation technique. The proposed method is developed based on a special training sequence with repetitive structure. The inherent multi‐user interference (MUI) compression provided by the tile structure allows us to utilize the repetitive property of the training sequence to jointly estimate the CFOs in the frequency domain with low complexity. Combining the CFO estimation with an interference cancellation scheme and performing iteratively, the algorithm achieves high estimation accuracy and fast convergence. The proposed algorithm is suitable for any subcarrier assignment schemes. In addition, as compared with other existing time domain based algorithms, which achieve the Cramer Rao Bound (CRB) at the price of unaffordable complexity, it closely approaches their performance with over 70% computational saving, which is significantly important for practical implementation.

Estimation of Carrier Frequency Offset With I/Q Mismatch Using Pseudo-Offset Injection in OFDM Systems

This work presents a novel carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation algorithm, based on pseudo-CFO (P-CFO), to estimate the CFO value under the conditions of I/Q mismatch for direct conversion structures with 2-dB gain error and 20-deg. phase error in frequency selective fading channels. To circumvent CFO with I/Q mismatch, the proposed P-CFO algorithm rotates three training symbols by adding extra frequency offset into the received sequence to improve CFO estimation. Simulation results indicate that the estimation error of the proposed method is about 0.3 ppm, which is lower than those of two-repeat preamble-based methods. Additionally, the proposed P-CFO algorithm is compatible with the conventional method, and is appropriate for SoC implementation. The proposed scheme is implemented as part of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing wireless receiver fabricated in a 0.13-mum CMOS process with 3.3 times 0.4 mm² core area and 10-mW power consumption at 54-Mbits/s data rate.     

A frequency offset estimation algorithm for OFDM systems

A new fine carrier frequency offset estimation algorithm in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） system is proposed. The correlation item is the training sequence instead of the received signal in the new algorithm. Simulation results show that the performance of the new algorithm is 4dB-9dB better than that of Schmidl＇s algorithm. Coarse frequency offset estimation is also discussed in this paper, which is the improvement of Zhang＇s method. The estimation range using the improvement method is twice as that using the Zhang＇s method. Based on the hardware of the receiver and the improved algorithm, a method using Fast Fourier Transform （FFT） is proposed to implement the coarse frequency estimation. The chip area of OFDM system can be reduced by using the proposed method.     

Frequency-Domain Carrier Frequency and Symbol Timing Offsets Estimation for Offset QAM Filter Bank Multicarrier Systems in Uplink of Multiple Access Networks

In this paper, we study carrier frequency offset (CFO) and symbol timing offset (STO) estimation in the uplink of multiuser offset QAM filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) communication systems. A low-complexity frequency-domain CFO estimator using periodical training sequence is proposed. Also a good estimate of STO is obtained by maximizing the energy of subcarriers subject to training sequence at the output of analysis filter bank. Furthermore we derive the theoretical MSE for the proposed CFO estimator. Computer simulations show that the derived MSE matches the simulated MSE closely. Compared with state-of-the-art time domain estimator, the proposed estimator achieves better performance with a lower computational complexity.     

A Blind Maximum Likelihood Carrier Frequency Offset Correction Approach for OFDM Systems over Multipath Fading Channels

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, carrier frequency offset (CFO) destroys the orthogonality between subcarriers and hence introduces intercarrier interference. In this paper, a maximum likelihood CFO correction (ML-CFOC) approach is proposed to compensate for the deleterious effects of CFO. The ML-CFOC method exploits the independence between the desired signals and is based on a novel simplified independent component analysis algorithm. The proposed ML-CFOC approach is successfully implemented for OFDM systems over multipath fading channels without requiring training sequences. Computer simulations are given to illustrate the optimal performance of the ML-CFOC.
