Channel, Phase Noise, and Frequency Offset in OFDM Systems: Joint Estimation, Data Detec- tion, and Hybrid Cramér-Rao Lower Bound

چکیده
Oscillator phase noise (PHN) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) can adversely impact the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems since they can result in inter carrier interference and rotation of the signal constellation. In this paper, we propose an expectation conditional maximization (ECM) based algorithm for joint estimation of channel, PHN, and CFO in OFDM systems. We outline the signal model for the estimation problem and derive the hybrid Cramér-Rao lower bound (HCRB) for the joint estimation problem. Next, we propose an iterative receiver based on an extended Kalman filter for joint data detection and PHN tracking. Numerical results show that compared to existing algorithms, the performance of the proposed ECM-based estimator is closer to the derived HCRB. In addition, the combined estimation algorithm and iterative receiver are more computationally efficient than existing algorithms and result in improved average bit-error rate performance.

We consider the problem of joint carrier frequency offset and channel estimation between transmitter and receiver in a frequency-selective channel MIMO-OFDM system. Recently two high performance estimators based on the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm have been proposed. The main drawback of the maximum likelihood base algorithms, like EM algorithm, is the high computational complexity. ...

We consider the problem of sampling clock synchronization and channel estimation for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) systems. In such systems, when the number of subcarriers is large, a sampling clock frequency mismatch between the transmitter and the receiver dramatically degrades the performance. So far, the literature proposes ad-hoc estimation algorithms. However, a complete ...

We investigate the problem of joint frequency offset and channel estimation for OFDM systems. The complexity of the joint maximum likelihood (ML) estimation procedure motivates us to propose an adaptive MLE algorithm which iterates between estimating the frequency offset and the channel parameters. Pilot tones are used to obtain the initial estimates and then a decision-directed technique provi...
