چکیده
into the second category of estimators which exploit OFDM sigThis work considers the problem of jointly estimating symbol frame boundaries and camer frequency offsets for orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) communications in frequency selective fading environments. Orthogonality between the modulated and virtual carriers over an interference free window of the received signal is used to develop an algorithm for estimating the carrier frequency offset and detecting the beginning of a symbol frame. By using a cyclic prefix to remove interference from neighboring frames, the the method is applicable in the presence of dispersive channels. The main contribution of this work is the joint estimation of the frequency offset and the frame boundary.

Synchronization and Channel Estimation for Filtered Multitone Modulation
This paper deals with synchronization and channel estimation in a filtered multitone (FMT) modulated system. An FMT based system differs from the popular OFDM scheme in the deployment of sub-channel shaping filters. Although the synchronization problem in OFDM is well understood, in an FMT system it presents several challenges. The approach herein presented is based on the deployment of appropr...
متن کاملA novel joint synchronization algorithm for OFDM systems based on single training symbol
Abstract The Park’s method suffers from symbol timing ambiguity and small acquisition range for carrier frequency offset, and cannot estimate sampling frequency offset. To solve these problems, a new training symbol including virtual carriers is designed, and the corresponding joint synchronization algorithm for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. In the propo...

Due to its high spectrum efficiency and good ability in coping with multi-path fading, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology has attracted considerable attention from researchers. However, OFDM system is very sensitive to symbol timing offset and carrier frequency offset, so accurate timing synchronization and frequency synchronization are necessary to OFDM system. This p...

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are highly sensitive to synchronization errors. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for the blind estimation of symbol timing and carrier frequency offset in wireless OFDM systems. The proposed estimator is an extension of the Gini–Giannakis estimator for single-carrier systems. It exploits the cyclostationarity of OFDM signals and ...

In this paper, we present a simple and efficient novel joint synchronization algorithm for OFDM system. It is based on training cyclic prefix to estimate the Initial symbol timing and carrier frequency offsets. Training sequence is an important part of the symbols which organize the frame timing and initial symbol timing. Cyclic prefix used the circular property for insertion and removal itself...
