Abstract
This paper theoretically analyzes the performance of distributed-antenna orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with multiple carrier frequency offsets (CFO) using zero-forcing (ZF) detection. Considering both the large-scale fading and the multipath fading of the wireless channel, we derive the average power of the inter-carrier interference (ICI) due to the CFOs and thus obtain the expression for the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR). By analyzing the underlying characteristics of the ZF detection, we address the reason for the inaccuracy of the conventional SINR expression and propose a novel modified SINR expression with better precision, and hence obtain a closed-form expression for the bit error rate (BER) performance with the presence of multiple CFOs. It is shown by the analytical and simulation results that the analytical SINR obtained by the conventional expression appears lower than actually while the analytical SINR and BER obtained by the expressions presented in this paper are more accurate and closer to the corresponding simulation results.
