Abstract

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted in various wireless communication standards to exploit its high spectral efficiency and robustness against multipath fading channels. Along with the potential benefits of OFDM transmissions, a stringent requirement on orthogonality among subcarriers makes OFDM highly susceptible to synchronization errors, i.e., time and frequency offsets. Addressing the carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation problem, the paper proposes a pilot-aided CFO estimation scheme for both coarse and fine carrier frequency synchronization in single-input single-output (SISO) OFDM receivers. By exploiting the maximum likelihood (ML) principle, the proposed ML-based CFO estimation algorithm functions properly over a wide range of CFO values and outperforms existing correlation-based schemes.
