In order to increase the spectrum efficiency,an improved preamble structure without guard symbols is derived at first. On this basis, instead of deriving the log likelihood function of power spectral density, joint estimation of the symbol timing offset and carrier frequency offset based on the preamble proposed is formulated into a bivariate optimization problem. After that, an improved genetic algorithm is used to find its global optimum solution. Conclusions can be drawn from simulation results that the proposed method has advantages in the joint estimation of synchronization.展开更多

A redundant linear frequency-domain preceder is ap-plied to each pair of blocks before they enter the OFDM system. With the aid of the introduced structure, the frequency-selective channel can be identified at the receiver through auto-correlation operations, sin-gular value decomposition （SVD） and scalar ambiguity resolution. The proposed blind channel estimation method has low computation complexity and requires no prior statistical information of channel or noise. The redundant linear frequency-domain precoder is employed to identify the frequency-selective fading channels. And the proposed blind channel estimation method has high spectral efficiency because it re-quires no training sequence. Computer simulations have proved that this proposed blind channel estima- tion method can identify the frequency-selective channels perfectly and have a good performance.展开更多

To estimate the unknown scalar, its phase is decomposed into a fractional phase and an integer phase. However, the maximum-likelihood （ML） algorithm for the fractional phase does not have closed-form solutions and suffers from high computational complexity. By ex- ploring the structures of widely used constellations, this paper proposes a low-complexity fractional phase estimation algorithm which requires no exhaustive search. Analytical expressions of the asymptotic mean squared error （MSE） are also derived. The theo- retical analysis and simulation results indicate that the proposed fractional phase estimation algorithm exhibits almost the same performance as the ML algorithm but with significantly reduced computational burden.展开更多

In the proposed scheme, the recursive least squares （RLS） algorithm is applied to track the time varying channel impulse response （CIR） within several symbols. By using the tracked time varying CIR, the ICI are constructed and then cancelled from the received signal, thus reducing their impactions on the channel estimation. Moreover, based on an o ver sampled complex exponential basis expansion model （ OCE BEM）, an improved channel predic tor is derived in order to improve the initial channel estimates accuracy of the iterative estimator. Simulation results show that ying scenarios with a smaller the proposed scheme outperforms the classic counterpart in time var cost of complexity.展开更多

The effect of channel estimation error was studied and we verified by simulations that the spatial multiplexing outperforms the switching algorithm. Given that the switching algorithm is based on the comparison of the channel matrix Demmel condition number to a threshold, its accuracy is compromised when channel estimation error in-creases. As a first intuitive solution, we proceeded to the adaptation of the threshold, but this didn’t lead to a pertinent improvement for the main reason that channel estimation errors did affect the MIMO techniques which use different constellation. Based on that, we proposed a new estimation technique that improved the bit error rate performance significantly.展开更多

In this paper, we present a low-complexity, blind CFO estimator for OFDM systems with constant modulus （CM） signaling. Both single-input single-output （SISO） and multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） systems are considered. Based on the assumption that the channel keeps constant during estimation, we prove that the CFO can be estimated uniquely and exactly through minimizing the power difference of received data on the same subcarriers between two consecutive OFDM symbols; thus, the identifiability problem is assured. Inspired by the sinusoid-like cost function, curve fitting is utilized to simplify our algorithm. Performance analysis reveals that the proposed estimator is asymptotically unbiased and the mean square error （MSE） exhibits no error floor. We show that this blind scheme can also be applied to a MIMO system. Numerical simulations show that the proposed estimator provides excellent performance compared with existing blind methods.展开更多
