Abstract
Carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system is investigated in this study. MIMO-OFDM is very sensitive to CFOs due to oscillator frequency mismatch and/or Doppler shift. Inaccurate CFO estimation results in intercarrier interference (ICI) through the loss of orthogonality among subcarriers. In this paper, the performance of the ML and APFE algorithm is analyzed for CFO estimation. ML becomes extremely complex due to the multidimensional exhaustive search issue, which is the basic concern in ML estimation. However, making use of the iterative low complex APFE method, here this multidimensional search is replaced with a sequence of mono-dimensional searches. This results in an estimation algorithm of reasonable complexity which is suitable for practical applications. In addition, ML accuracy is compared with the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB).
