Maximum-Likelihood Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation for OFDM Systems in Fading Channels

Overview Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) is a major contributor to the inter-carrier - interference in OFDM systems. This effect becomes more sever when compounded by the presence of Doppler fading in wireless channels. This paper presents two maximum-likelihood CFO estimation schemes, one in frequency domain and another in time-domain, both under Doppler fading. The pr properties of the he estimators are analyzed and simulation results showing the performance gain of the proposed estimators over other estimation schemes are presented. Apart from improved accuracy, the time-domain maximum likelihood estimator features significantly reduced complexity.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
