Timing Offset

This study presents a novel preamble-based timing offset estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed method is robust, immune to the carrier frequency offset (CFO), and independent of the structure of the preamble. The performance of the new method is demonstrated in terms of mean square error (MSE) obtained by simulation in multipath fading channels. The results indicate that the new method significantly improves timing performance in comparison with existing methods.

In this paper, we propose an improved channel estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in sparse multipath fading channels. The proposed method transforms the channel estimates into an ordered space and uses the minimum description length (MDL) criterion to estimate the number of paths and the path positions. Simulation results demonstrated that an improved channel estimation performance is obtained due to the reduction of signal space.

High Flexibility

With equipping multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver ends, the signals in the wireless OFDM systems could be transmitted over multipath fading channels for achieving benefits and high flexibility. In this paper, we focus on MIMO-OFDM systems that simultaneously perform channel estimation in order to combat additive noise, and multipath fading. The performance improvement is confirmed by simulations. Results show that the proposed MIMOOFDM scheme is quite robust in practical environments.
