New Frame Synchronization Technique for OFDM/OFDMA and MC-CDMA Systems
Overview In the context of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), most papers define OFDM symbol synchronization as frame synchronization. In this paper, a frame is defined as a block of several OFDM symbols in the time dimension. The main contribution of this work is to propose a novel, low complexity, frame synchronization method for multi-carrier systems that does not require any transmission overhead; this increases the channel capacity, power and bandwidth efficiency. Also, it enables a flexible multiple-access scheme to be implemented in OFDM, whereby each user can have different frame size. The proposed frame synchronization method is compared with a conventional method using a preamble.
