In this paper, we propose a low complexity integer frequency offset estimation scheme based on coherence phase bandwidth for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed scheme overcomes the effect of the timing offset via correlating the local and received OFDM training symbols in a coherence phase bandwidth block unit. Moreover, by utilizing a threshold to determine an interger frequency offset etimate, the proposed scheme need not calculate correlation values for all possible interger frequency offset candidates. From numerical results, it is demonstrated that the proposed scheme can estimate the integer freqeuncy offset with a reduced complexity while minataining the same level of the estimation performance.

In this paper, we propose a novel carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed scheme has much wider estimation range compared with that of the conventional scheme, making it more robust to the fractional FO variation. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has better estimation performance than the conventional scheme for wider fractional FO range.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is considered as an important technique for future wireless communications. In addition, OFDM has a better performance at inter symbol interference (ISI). One of the major disadvantages of the multi-carrier modulation is about the sensitivity of the performance to a frequency offset. In this paper, we propose an iterative algorithm of frequency offset estimation for the OFDM system. The fundamental algorithm of our iterative algorithm is the frequency pilot aided algorithm. When we get a result with the fundamental algorithm every time, we use the result to estimate for a second time. The algorithm we proposed does not require some additional pilots or changing the data structure of the fundamental algorithm.

In orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, synchronization issues are of great importance since synchronization errors might destroy the orthogonality among all subcarriers and, therefore, introduce intercarrier interference (ICI) and intersymbol interference (ISI). Several schemes of frequency offset estimation in OFDM systems have been investigated. This paper compares performance and computational complexity of Smoothing Power Spectrum (SPS) and Frequency Analysis (FA) methods for blind carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation in OFDM systems.
