一种基于判决反馈的OFDM系统载波频率跟踪算法

研究了多径信道下OFDM系统的一种新的载波频率跟踪算法，这种算法以判决反馈和接收端的时域信号重构为基础。推导了估计结果的精确解，比较了使用原估计结果和新的估计结果进行频偏补偿时系统跟踪性能的不同。通过对算法的仔细分析，发现除了通常的加性噪声外，信道估计误差、子载波数目和子载波的调制方式也影响频偏的估计结果和跟踪范围，而且子载波的数目和调制方式是决定性的因素。这种频率跟踪方法的优点是即使在很低的信噪比下仍然能获得高的跟踪精度，且实现相对简单。     

QoS enhancement in OFDM based systems under transceiver impairments

Broadband wireless systems generally use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with link adaptation (LA) to achieve high throughput while meeting bit error rate (BER) constraint. OFDM systems are known to be affected by non-linearity of high power amplifier (HPA) at transmitter, carrier frequency offset (CFO), symbol timing offset (STO) and channel estimation error at the receiver. The delay in feedback of channel state information (CSI) further affects the performance of LA procedures. The focus of this work is on performance analysis in presence of simultaneous affect of all these impairments on LA based OFDM systems. The results are found to be useful for threshold readjustment which is essential for successful implementation of LA scheme to counter the effects of change in operating conditions from ideal to as listed above.     

Carrier Frequency Offset estimation for interleaved OFDMA uplink based on subspace processing

This paper investigates Carrier Frequency Offset （CFO）, estimation in the uplink of the Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access （OFDMA） systems with the interleaved subcarrier assignment. CFOs between the transmitters and the uplink receiver will destroy orthogonality among different subcarriers, hence resulting in inter-carrier interference and multiuser interference. A two-stage frequency offset estimation algorithm based on subspace processing is proposed. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it can obtain the CFOs of all users simultaneously using only one OFDMA block. Compared with the previously known methods, it not only has a relatively low implementation complexity but is also suitable for random subchannel assignment.     

Interleaved-OFDMA中基于子空间的上行链路载波频偏估计方法

在OFDMA系统中,通过为每个用户分配不同的子载波可以实现并行数据传输.采用Interleaved子载波分配方法可以提高频率分集和系统容量,但是发射机和接收机之间的载波频率偏移会破坏子载波间的正交性,从而导致本用户的载波间干扰(ICI)以及用户间干扰(MUI).本文提出了一种基于子空间的两阶段频偏搜索方法,该方法只采用一个OFDMA符号块就可以实现Interleaved-OFDMA上行链路多个用户频偏的联合估计,并且不需要知道接入的用户个数及用户所占用的子信道,因此适用于随机分配子信道的情况.仿真结果验证了算法的精确度和有效性.     

一种基于DDST的频域能量最小化OFDM频偏估计方法

提出一种基于数据依赖叠加训练序列的OFDM载波频偏估计方法。叠加训练序列的周期性使其DFT能量间隔分布在特定的频点上,为了减小信息序列对叠加训练序列的影响,引入数据依赖序列使信息序列DFT在这些特定频点上为零,利用这个特性可进行频偏估计,只有得到正确的频偏估计时,这些旋转后的信息序列在这些特定频点的能量才得到最小值。仿真表明,该方法在不降低传输速率的情况下,有着较好的频偏估计性能。

以铁和钴的硝酸盐为主要原料,采用sol-gel旋涂法在Si(001)基片上制备了不同厚度的CoFe2O4(CFO)薄膜。研究了薄膜厚度对其结构、形貌及磁性能的影响。结果表明:随着其厚度的增大,薄膜的结晶度变好,薄膜晶粒度逐渐增大到70nm。Ms随着薄膜厚度的增大先增大后减小;Hc的变化规律和Ms相反。当薄膜厚度为800nm时,Ms达到最大值59.2A·m2/kg,此时Hc最小为106.7kA/m。该薄膜具有高度的平行各向异性。     

基于迫零检测的分布式发射天线V-BLAST OFDM系统中的载波频偏补偿

 在采用分布式发射天线的垂直贝尔实验室分层空时结构(V-BLAST)正交频分复用(OFDM)系统中,由于各发射天线与接收机之间的载波频偏(CFO)均可能不同,传统系统中针对单个频偏的简单补偿方法不再适用。不同于已有的使用高复杂度矩阵求逆运算的线性频域均衡方法,本文利用迫零(ZF)检测的固有特性,提出一种适用于低时延扩展多径信道的无需矩阵求逆运算的载波频偏补偿方法。仿真结果表明,在ITU-R M.1225信道模型的三种低时延扩展测试环境下,使用本文所提频偏补偿方法进行频偏补偿能有效改善系统误符号率(SER)性能。     

SCM-OFDM系统中一种新型的盲频偏估计方法

该文提出了一种用于重叠码调制-正交频分复用(SCM-OFDM)系统中基于信号检测的频偏估计方法。这种估计方法首先利用SCM迭代检测器输出的判决符号重构接收信号,再利用最小均方误差准则对频偏进行估计。该方法不需要额外的训练序列或导频符号,是一种高效的盲频偏估计方法。此外,该文还提出了一种改进的频偏估计方法。在改进的方法中,接收机将频偏估计与信号检测进行联合迭代;这样在每一次迭代过程中,信号检测和频偏估计都需要执行一次,并且接收机在信号检测时可以利用上一次得到的频偏估计值进行频偏补偿。仿真结果表明,该文提出的基于信号检测的频偏估计方法能够高效并准确地估计出SCM-OFDM系统的频偏。     

Particle filter with ant colony optimization for frequency offset estimation in OFDM systems with unknown noise distribution

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is sensitive to carrier frequency offset (CFO) that causes inter-carrier interference (ICI). In this paper, a particle filter (PF) method augmented with ant colony optimization (ACO) is developed to estimate the CFO. The ACO for continuous domains is incorporated into PF to optimize the sampling process. Unlike the standard PF, resampling is not required in the method. Moreover, it does not require the noise distribution. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective when estimating the CFO and can effectively combat the effect of ICI in OFDM systems.     

Frequency acquisition synchronization for multiple antenna systems

In this paper, we consider the problem of frequency acquisition synchronization by using multiple antennas over wireless fading channels. We introduce frequency synchronization with different combining schemes including space diversity and time diversity. Their performance is estimated for a Rayleigh fading channel with an analysis both theoretically and by simulation. We investigate the relationship between the mean squared error (MSE) and the average signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) for combining of different blocks and antennas. Both the carrier frequency offset and the sampling frequency offset are estimated when multiple antennas are utilized for signal transmission. The estimation with maximum ratio combining (MRC) scheme is presented in detail, and the estimation with selection combining scheme and equal gain combining scheme are introduced briefly. The simulation results explicitly show that the performance of the frequency acquisition synchronization with MRC scheme is better than that of others and that the MSE at low SNR is not very close to the Cramér–Rao low bound in multiblock combining frequency synchronization. Furthermore, the results address that in order to improve the performance, the total number of receive antennas will be increased exponentially. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
