A Data-Aided Symbol Timing and Frequency Offset Estimation Algorithm for OFDM Systems

In this paper the problem of data-aided symbol timing and frequency offset estimation in OFDM systems is considered. A synchronization scheme based on a pilot symbol containing two identical parts obtained by transmitting BPSK data symbols on the even subcarriers and setting zero on the remaining subcarriers is proposed. In this case, if the number of subcarriers is sufficiently large, the pilot symbol can be modeled as a noncircular (NC) complex Gaussian random vector (CGRV). By exploiting the joint probability density function of NC-CGRVs, the joint maximum likelihood estimator for the parameters of interest is derived. Since its implementation complexity is high, a simpler synchronization scheme is obtained. Moreover, refined symbol timing and frequency offset estimators, that assure relevant performance in multipath channels, are proposed. T. Fusco was born in Naples, Italy, on March 22, 1977.

Maximum-Likelihood Estimator for Coarse Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation in OFDM Systems

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are more sensitive to carrier frequency offset (CFO) compared to the conventional single carrier systems. CFO destroys the orthogonality among subcarriers, resulting in inter-carrier interference (ICI) and degrading system performance. To mitigate the effect of the CFO, it has to be estimated and compensated before the demodulation. The CFO can be divided into an integer part and a fractional part. In this paper, we investigate a maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE) for estimating the integer part of the CFO in OFDM systems, which requires only one OFDM block as the pilot symbols. To reduce the computational complexity of the MLE and improve the bandwidth efficiency, a suboptimum estimator (Sub MLE) is studied. Based on the hypothesis testing method, a threshold Sub MLE (T-Sub MLE) is proposed to further reduce the computational complexity. The performance analysis of the proposed T-Sub MLE is obtained and the analytical results match the simulation results well. Numerical results show that the proposed estimators are effective and reliable in both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency-selective fading channels in OFDM systems.
